Ferrari Owner's Manuals

Hehe, I was just talking to this person on AIM, talking trash about our Altimas. And I said that I lost the manual to my other car, but I just found it online and send her a link to the enzo manual. It was funny.

By the way, here is two quotes from the Enzo manual:

due to the high power produced by the engine, it is advisable to exploit the performance gradually, avoiding the heav-duty conditions of use until you have acquired full mastership of your car

extremely important note: the non-observance of the instructions contained could seriously endanger the passengers' life and the car parts!

What about the driver?!? :Q
 
The Enzo is only 45.16 in from floor to roof, Jesus, that's low. I never realized from the pictures that it is that low to the ground.

The driver is an insignificant part of the Enzo experience 😛.
 
I love the "SLOW DOWN!" warning light on the 360 Modena Spyder: "While the car is running, this signals an excessively high temperature in the exhaust system."
 
Thanks, I left my Ferrari manual in my McLaren when I took it to work to photocopy some pages and I keep forgetting to put it back. Now I can just print a backup copy.

You too? Maybe you had the same problem I did, for some damn reason the glove box pops open when you're doing about 180 down the interstate with the windows down and that mother just got sucked right out. Thanks for the replacement Ferrari wanted 6 grand!
 
Beh, the 3x8 Ferraris weren't very fast. Even high end sports cars got castrated in the '70s and '80s. iirc, the 348 Testarossa only did 14.8 second quarters. The 355s are fast though.

There's no such thing as a "348 Testarossa". The Testarossa was very fast for its time - it did have a 390 bhp V-12, after all. The 348 is pretty quick too, with 300 bhp.

It's definitely true that the 308 and 328 were not tremendous performers, but they are certainly pretty, and the 328 is reasonably quick. On the bright side, they were the basis for the incredible 288 GTO, which I think might be the most desirable Ferrari model made in the last 20 years.

14.5 second 1/4, 6.0 to 60.

I'm not sure if you're kidding, but I really would. It's better-suited to driving on the road, and still fast (190 MPH) and quick enough (0-60 in 4.0 sec) to get you killed very quickly indeed. It's also achingly beautiful, and the Enzo is pug-fugly.

There are other, quicker times posted elsewhere for the 348, but this is the ballpark the car played in. Still, for its era, it was, as I said, "pretty quick". The Syclone, like the Typhoon and Buick GNX, was quite an aberration in its quickness (I recall seeing published times well under 5.0 seconds IIRC), and at the time there was no car on the planet short of a 911 Turbo that was as quick. I'd have to think a 348 would give it a drubbing around a road course, as would, probably, a much more modest, fine-handling car like a Miata.
