As for the driver, who wouldn't want to be him/her! Get to drive really fast, really hard in great cars and GET paid for it! He probably was testing the car. If i had a ferrari, and someday i will, i am going to drive it like the wind. First off if i can offord the car, the ticket will be easy. Second i would have to know what the car can do. Stats mean nothing untill you prove them to your self. The 366 is the car for me though.:D

<< Actually, Ferrari build quality generally sucks ... >>


Do you have anything to back that statement up?

Indian - I wouldn't doubt that something would fail in the course of a day. If he's jamming that engine for a good while, I'm sure something in the cooling system would be 1st to go. A V12 redlining all day long has to produce astronomical amounts of heat. And also if you keep redlining it like that guy was in the video, it would heat up even quicker, because if it's operating in that RPM range at such low speeds, there's not much cooler air being moved under the hood, which will cause the temp to rise pretty quickly.
