Proud owner. Will post more pics soon. Cold as shit and miserable outside today, so in the Mini.

Might be a garage pic until the weather clears again.
So did you sell the 360 then? If so, what prompted that decision? If memory serves, I think the 360 was a tester car to see whether both of you liked Ferrari enough to sink in a bit more money to get a newer model (not new, but newer)?
Still have the 360. The Alfa is the planned commuter car to replace the Mini.

Very nice. They look good. That the Quadrifoglio? I keep hearing about quality control issues online with the Quadrifoglio, but no firsthand experience or any friends that own one to say whether what I hear is true or not, but everyone online says when it is working it is amazing. Keep us updated!

Unless I missed something, I don't believe the 4C was available in a Quad.

This is the spider. Not really many options to pick from but does have the yellow calipers and red tricoat paint.

Ah, the 4C - picture is very small for me, did not realize. Now I get it - nice small light car to drive.

Nice! I'd love a light two seater, but not in the cards for awhile.
I have a Kona Blue 2019 GT Premium PP2 on hold. Supposed to drive and pick it up Saturday. A couple hours away. Got 20% off MSRP

Nice deal and color, but remember those don’t have any diff/transmission coolers IIRC.

If you are going that route, have you driven a SS 1LE?

I get that, but I really don't get that package without them. Especially since its main competitor does include them in their version of the PP2 (1LE). It's all geared towards tracking, especially with the Cup 2s on them, but will go into limp mode very quickly if you do try and track it.

I figured you knew, but just wanted to make sure. Gonna stick a blower on it or anything? If you get wheel hop etc, Steeda has a great rear suspension kit for fairly cheap and easy to install. I did it on my GT350 and loved it.

Dealer installed stage 1 Whipple w/ warranty

IYR a long time ago I rented a Camaro in Cali for our Anniversary trip. I liked it but the visibility sucked too bad.

For me the PP2 was about wheels, magnaride, rear end, and manual (all PP2 are manual).

A PP1 w/ standalone magnaride is more than a PP2.

This isn't directed at you, but for me just more reasons why Ford is a weird/very screwed up company right now. Let's make a track package for a car that you can't take to the track without mods and then pull their warranty when people install the neccasary coolers to do so.

I swear they did it that way on purpose so they didn't have to warranty cars taken to the track.

The part that really bothers me about that package (aside from everything saying track this and track that) is the decision to go with Cup 2s. I totally get people wanting that car with better/tighter handling and the look it offers (hopefully they understand without coolers it will go into overheat limp mode in the parking lot looking at the track ), but then put PS4S tires on them. The Cup 2s are a huge waste (and somewhat dangerous in heavy rain, especially for a noob driver) and an annoyance on the street IMO. Most people remove them for a non R comp tire or get another set all together.

I mean it all says "Track-Inspired" dude. If you want a real track car they want you to buy the GT350. This is just a poser pack. And I'm OK with that. The 6 piston Brembos will help this 700hp rocket stop

Like I said, it isn't necessarily directed at you. I know why you are getting the car, but I'm still a little afraid for you in that Georgia heat and with the SC that it may still overheat the diff/tranny putting it in limp mode. I've spent a lot of time on both M6G and C6G watching this particular battle. Even the Ford boys concede it is a stupid cost cutting/warranty dodging measure by Ford.

The brakes on that are no joke and you will love them.

Sigh.

We're getting four more years of Trump. I can't believe it.

Eh, i dunno, I thought it was pretty good and I doubt it changed anyone's opinions. My vote is still Bloomberg, Buttigeig, Biden, Bernie.

The important thing is, Bloomberg is the only guy with a name that starts with two consonants, but the MOST important thing is, none of them are Trump!

I watched Ford vs Ferrari in Seattle and thought of you! I'm so disappointed Ford doesn't have a kickass track monster given their heritage.

BTW, that movie ... WEIRD filming technique ... looked like a british documentary, was very distracting.
