Also the scuderia ferraris fastest f430, faster than enzo around their test track, doesn't come with a true manual. Can't complain too much, it's lap times and performance speak for car, and thats nuff said.

Id rather drive a car, then let a car drive me around the track

FYI, the Scuderia and all F430s you can turn the traction/stability control off completely. All cars from now on will have some level of traction/stability control, I have no problem with that at all as long as they allow you to turn it off

And it looks more like Condo/townhouses.

You'd be shocked. When I was in property management I can't tell you how many people were living in ****ty apartments in a ****ty neighborhood driving Porsche, Cadillac, Bentley and even a guy with a F'ing Ferrari.

Priorities...people don't has them.

Ill agree that as long as it can be turned off its ok. But the other electronic devices are non-sense

Its a sports car, not a rolls royce

Yeah I'm not Sherlock and neither are you obviously. The real Sherlock probably would have been able to deduce the sarcasm in my reply.
