It's actually a '33 from FFR and while they build some decent stuff that will out handle an original old Ford, they are certainly not a steel bodied original and leave a lot to be desired in fit and finish. All FFR products are a good value but they serve up a lot of Kool-Aid as well.

Ahem... 186,000 MILES per second.

It doesn't work well in the real world?

I get to drive a car with an engine built by this very guy in just a couple of weeks! Hand built or "hand built", I don't care because either way it is 622hp worth of cargasmic goodness.

The more I look the more I like it. At first I thought it was too simple but then the subtlety of it all starts to hit home. Something about the windshield/front end looks a little flat/odd. It isn't as much of a departure from the G as I would have thought but I like it. Can't wait to drive one.

Ah... That makes sense. I kind of figured that is what you got out of it but I am so NOT cool that I wouldn't have made that connection! HA.

Z34Matt,

I had a G8 GT and absolutely loved that car. I only had two complaints. One was that the AC couldn't keep up. On a hot day (90+) the car never got to a comfortable temp as measured by my AC loving American skin. I am sure that a visiting European would have been pleased as punch in the car. Maybe the same is true

While this guy provided a good answer to the question asked, I don't think it was the right question. He seems to answer the question of whether or not the dots caused a hydroplaning action which would be a loss of friction. I think the better question would be did the dots upset a loaded suspension in a very

I think people who have never driven a very high performance car have difficulty understanding how this could happen. If you drive a Civic really hard and throw it into a curve and the tires are screaming for mercy you may get the impression that you can drive well. You may have pulled some scary maneuvers in the

Having built aluminum bodied cars for a living... I would say that these are priced very high for what they are. I would think it would be pretty easy to build these for $150,000 with the base engine and have a really nice profit margin. We had several people calling to ask if we could do a 550 but didn't have

Baddies in a Corvette chasing little cars is the only race I want to see in a mall...

Three intake, two exhaust. You can get more surface area from the three valves than two so it is easier to get air into the cylinder. It is also tougher to get air into a cylinder than it is to get it out. The piston pulls down and creates a vacuum to "pull" air/fuel into the cylinder. This is limited be the

While I am sure it could out-perform a 911 in some scenarios, I would imagine that this car was very nose heavy. Granted the 911 is a little tail heavy but I would bet that over the 973 years that the 911 has been in production that they have had a better chance of ironing out the handling issues compared to this

You have to remember that this is a Ferrari, so 198 reported by the car is probably much closer to 178. They are notoriously optimistic when it comes to their speedometers.

I thought that one was made in Canadia?

Someone please explain to us Rubes in fly-over country why there can only be one car approved for taxi service? This seems to be the best way to foster corruption. Why doesn't NYC come up with a list of specs and tell the manufacturers that they are welcome to play if they meet those specs. Fuel efficiency, size and

I remember renting a Town Car in 89 or 90 for a school dance and thinking it was a really cool car until I pulled up behind a BMW 750. I then realized that the top of the line Ford was pitiful in comparison to the top of the line Bimmer.

Why is no one buying the Viper? I have two thoughts.

Somewhere in windy Wyoming. "America, Truck yeah!"™
