I have up for sale what has been my around town driver for the last year and a half or so. I have enjoyed this car thoroughly but it is time for a new Corvette!! I have put about 4,000 trouble free miles on this car and know it well. The Car went through an inspection at Ferrari of Orlando when the previous owner purchased it and had over $6,000 worth of maintenance done in 2012, including a new Ferrari Driver side Exhaust Manifold ($1,957.13), battery, oil pressure sending unit, and a new ignition switch. At the time of service Ferrari diagnosed a faulty CAT ECU. When I purchased the car, I had all three Cat ECU's replaced, two new green ECU's and a good working used Black ECU. I also had the Cats gutted to get that nice Ferrari note. (not too noisy but just perfect in my opinion). I had O2 sensor spacers installed to avoid check codes. Included with the sale are two used Cat's. not the best shape but will allow for the car to pass inspection in a state that requires it.

Now on to the car. This car gets constant attention, and is an absolute blast to drive. The engine fires up every time with no issues, the transmission shifts like butter, and the clutch was replaced at about 25K miles and grips very well. The timing belts were replaced at around 29K miles. This vehicle was issued a Salvage/rebuilt title early on in its life and has had lots of trouble free miles put on since. I have been all over this car and cannot find any signs of damage or repair, and it also drives perfectly, with no issues. The Orlando Ferrari dealer also could not find any signs of previous repair and was surprised to hear of the rebuilt title on this car. The Autocheck also shows no Accidents so I don't know???? I did a compression check and got the following results:

Bank 1: 1: 170 2:170 3:175 4:165 Bank 2: 5:175 6:175 7:175 8:175 This car does not smoke, make any strange noises, or use oil at all. I just replaced the oil with Mobil 1 Synthetic and a fresh Ferrari oil filter.


This car presents very nicely but with full disclosure in mind there are only minor signs of wear and tear, including a few rock chips, surface scratches, 2 minor dings. The interior is nice as well, with most sticky parts refinished including the A/C vents. No rips or tears in the leather, the driver seat is showing minor wear on the bolster.

This car is perfect for the buyer with intentions of driving and enjoying a Ferrari without the constant worry of devaluing the car either via mileage or wear and tear. This was my intention and I loved every second of it!!! There is nothing like getting behind the wheel of a red, 6 speed Ferrari coupe. I usually do not get attached to cars but there will be a tear in my eye when this one drives away. Tires are older, showing signs of age and wear and should be replaced soon. Wheels have some nicks and scratches but are in nice shape.

Ferrari to debut new twin-turbo California in the spring

Wed, 18 Dec 2013

Ferrari hadn't made a turbocharged engine since the F40 ended its production cycle in 1992. But that all changed when it helped Maserati develop its new 3.8-liter twin-turbo V8. That turbo engine has so far been shoehorned into the Quattroporte, along with its 3.0-liter V6 cousin that also powers the smaller Ghibli. But soon it'll wear the Prancing Horse badge as further details emerge on the next-generation California.
Set to arrive in time for the spring (likely to be unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show in March), the new California will reportedly ditch its naturally-aspirated V8 in favor of a reworked version of the Quattroporte's twin-turbo unit, which at 523 horsepower and 479 pound-feet of torque is already considerably more muscular than the current California's 483 hp and 372 lb-ft.
The new California will likely be closely based on the outgoing model, but benefit from revised aluminum sheetmetal and an updated cabin with a new infotainment system - two areas in which the current model has scored low marks.

Race Recap: 2014 Canadian Grand Prix makes its money on the back end

Mon, 09 Jun 2014

Momentum. That was the word of the weekend at the last race in Monaco - Nico Rosberg retaking it, Williams getting reacquainted with it and Marussia tasting it for the first time, among other examples. That same, weighted term flew to Canada with the money circus known as Formula One, took all weekend to build and then walloped the front end of the field and the season on Sunday afternoon.
Rosberg carried his Monaco triumph into qualifying, putting his Mercedes AMG Petronas on pole ahead of teammate and reconciled friend Lewis Hamilton. Reigning World Champion Sebastian Vettel finally got the better of Daniel Ricciardo, lining up for Infiniti Red Bull Racing in third ahead of his teammate in sixth, split up by Valtteri Bottas and Felipe Massa in the Williams. Ferrari, having brought numerous aero updates for this race, didn't get the push it was really looking for, Fernando Alonso happy to get seventh ahead of Kimi Räikkönen, still troubled by his F14T, in tenth. Jean-Eric Vergne secured eighth for Toro Rosso, Jenson Button lining up ninth for a still-struggling McLaren.
When the lights went out, Mercedes, Williams and Marussia would all find out how quickly momentum can short circuit or disappear in a sparkly ball of high-speed contact, spilled fluids and tire barriers.

Race Recap: 2013 Japanese Grand Prix flips several scripts [spoilers]

Mon, 14 Oct 2013

Japan's Suzuka circuit is a great track that all the drivers love, but it doesn't usually provide the most thrilling, head-to-head racing. Where it does excel, however, is with surprises and "What just happened there?!" moments, and this year it was no different.
It started with Mark Webber in his Infiniti Red Bull Racing out-qualifying his teammate Sebastian Vettel for the first time this year. They were followed closely by Lewis Hamilton in the first Mercedes-AMG Petronas, the still-solid Romain Grosjean again outdoing teammate Kimi Räikkönen, Felipe Massa racing for another seat in Formula One and putting his Ferrari in fifth, then Nico Rosberg in the second Mercedes, Nico Hülkenberg in the first Sauber, Fernando Alonso in the second Ferrari, and Räikkönen continuing to do himself no favors by qualifying tenth.
For the second year in a row, the lights going out was the cue to start the first corner action...
