Example: Try to spec a F430 or 599 in the US without ceramics and F1... impossible! It's mandatory now! (at least that is my information).



That's only because Nick says they are not important. Ferrari wants to force him to buy the CCM. Next thing they will do is to prohibit bling-bling-polished wheels and make standard wheels mandatory for US-customers.



Without bling bling ot polish wheels I am otta here.

Zzboba you make some good points but I must point out the US market is different from ROW. For an example, the front engine Ferrari is not that popular though at least for now the 599 is the exception. Resale values on the front engine Ferrari's suffer as much as Porsche's. There are just too many good front engine cars to pick from and the Ferrari name can only go so far.

I could have bought the 599 and passed on it. I know of others who have done the same. A front engine car for some reason does not engender enthusiasm especially as a sport car as it has in the past.
