It works much better in person than in photos. It was my biggest objection to buying one, but now that I own one, it makes me laugh every time I see it because it’s just so ridiculously over the top.

When was that time? The sporting code has been pretty clear for several decades that pushing drivers off track and not leaving 1 car width is against the rules
Outside line was the faster line all day actually. If you watched the race, you would know that on the previous lap, Leclerc took the wide line through Turn 3 and was faster than Max taking the inside line. Hardly “beat” when the same thing worked the previous lap. Verstappen didn’t leave room because he knew Leclerc…
He wasn’t beat. They were literally dead even at the apex. The outside line there was faster because most drivers were taking a wide line during the race and it was rubbered in more than the inside line.
That’s not at all how the FIA’s sporting regulations are written. There’s no concept of “he has the racing line so he can do whatever he wants”.
You can “send one up the inside”, but if the opposing car is at least halfway alongside (as Leclerc was), you cannot squeeze them off at corner exit.
Except Leclerc literally did the same thing on the lap before and Max gave him room.
I don’t think they were equally at fault. Verstappen didn’t leave room, which is exactly what Vettel was penalized for 2 races ago. Further, he actually caused a collision by forcing Leclerc off the track.
Yep, exactly. The other issue (and the one that will kill the clutch fastest) is when the car is primarily driven in the F1 gearbox’s “Auto” mode, which basically just slips the hell out of the clutch.
That’s on Hemmings, which is notoriously overpriced. People think their car is worth way over market because it’s their Ferrari that they barely drove and never took out in the rain. In the end, it’s just another car.
The article stating that F430s which are driven hard need a clutch more often couldn’t be more wrong. It’s the cars that are babied that have clutch problems, as the computer will heavily slip the clutch when doing gear changes at less than WOT and when in reverse.
It’s not even true of this model, but every Ferrari post-2011 has a dual clutch transmission, so no replacements required.
Testarossas can easily be found for under 100k. Even on an overpriced site like BaT:
It was different then.
The one question I do have though, is what is the expected outcome for these workers?
People don’t “hate” on Tesla because of the product, it’s because they aren’t a viable business, and will likely never be, despite what Musk claims.
No need to replace intake manifold gaskets. They’re reusable.
The OEM pads only had the posts for the first part revision, from the factory. Around 08/08 the pads were revised. Just an old rumor that still floats around the forums.
It’s not air, and it doesn’t fail often if the car has had the DRC recall performed.
True, but they are pretty robust clutches for this application. Also, it’s difficult to launch an RS4, so usually (not always) the cars have less wear from launches, since most owners don’t do it.
