Is it true California is the only convertible hardtop from Ferrari? Mid mount front engine V8?

I have been driving like an old man ever since.

I have you know I am old, well a young old dude enjoying life and I do drive fast when the cops have coffee breaks

Me too, I'm 55 so to a youngster that's really old.... I had my M3 up to 160mph and I've had my new Zed up to 155 before the limiter stopped it. I haven't tried to wrap the speedo in it since I had the remap (no limiter anymore) so who knows how fast it'll go....

Maybe I should start driving like a kid ....

The California represents a numbers of firsts for Ferrari.

It's Ferrari's 1st and only convertible hardtop.

The front mounted v8 engine is a 1st, which is front mid-mounted just behind the front axle.

It's also Ferrari's first DCT transmission car, so far exclusively but Ferrari is working on a MT for it.

Lol damn maybe I need to start keeping up with YOU guys.

My parents are very generous people.

mcbeee · 07-14-2010, 11:36 AM

The key is drive fast where it's safe to and not do stupid things that get you in trouble with the law. Oh yeah, and don't get caught ....

Enjoy the new ride

I guess the everglades will have to do.

I've never gotten cut while speeding, or for that matter, injured in any other way, shape or form. I keep my arms inside the car and don't play with razor blades while driving. I've managed to stay blood-free during all the speeding I've done in my Z4.

However, I did stub my finger once, while pushing the CD into the slot too hard.

Its also the first one to have a decent interior!

I really like the California, and it has a lot in common with the Z4.

I'm sure most of us noticed it but pointing out gramatical errors on a forum is rather pointless. I think one just extrapolates the 'gist' of he poster and runs with it.

Well said.

'zactly

some people are English teachers and some are English as a second language, as long as it makes some sort of sense I'm ok with it.....

Now about all the misspelled words by the Americans.......

Kidding,
