    0-100kph in less than 4.0s, what is secretive?
    After 100kph, torque and hp are key anyway...

    It's not an exact figure. Why not just give us a figure instead of saying "less than". It's ambiguous for a performance company like Ferrari to issue such vague specs. More so they haven't disclosed exact weight figures either.

    I wonder if they would make some slight tweaks to the car before Paris.

    Don't think so. It's pretty much a done deal know. Press and Ferrari VIPs will or have already received invitations to check the car out next month.

    Give it a tridente and it would be the perfect Maser Spyder.

    Re: New info from California web site

    I agree with you to some extant...

    Performance figures(0-100km/h in less then 4s) are also very optimistic IMHO since California is no light weight car...

    You drive the same car, only bigger, so your word doesn't count.

    Now I see what you guys mean when you say it looks like a maser.
    It if they mabe a front mouth just a bit more oval it would be undeniable. Exactly like new maser coupe, lights and all...

    The wheels and rearview mirrors really were made by comeone uninspired...

    srry to ask MKSGR, but what do u drive?

    btw, i like it but still think it looks like a maser. i think the mistake was selling it as a ferrari, as a maser it would have been perfect but slapping a cavallino on it just puts it in a league it wasnt meant for.

    My first impression, from pictures, is a negative one. It may change on July 13 thou... when I will get to see it "in the flesh".
