lotta shifting going on there. I wonder if the driver would be shifting at such a frequent pace if they had to manually shift through the gears(with a clutch).

Gotta agree that the driving isn't stellar. Not the worst I've seen, but not really professional quality. Car sounds f'in' awesome, though.

Excellent car and awesome looks. Now let me ask you guys a cold blooded question:

Do you see yourself driving that lifethreating car in a wet and bumpy road?, exactly.. that is what I was thinking about.

That car performs well only in a track or road with a very flat and undisturbed surface, other than that I strongly believe that car is the most dangerous machine you can put in your hands. Remember, I am not saying nothing crazy, I love the car, I just think the car has pathetic traction problems and a very very stiff suspension, definately not ideal for everyday driving.

With that pointy nose and soo much power in the rear you wouldn't think I am exagerating. With that Ferrari front end hit a bump or a irregularity it will lift from the ground rigidly.

Has anyone gone all the way to the top of Pikes peak? I have done it, I am telling you that in fact that Ferrari FXX would be laughable if attemting to go all the way to the top of Pikes Peak.

Why am I bringing this topic? simple, people go: UUHHHH --ahhhhh, that Ferrari is fast. In reality it is a car that is fragile and limited, it only performs well in flat perfect condition roads...

Despite all my smack talk, I still wish I had one though..



My .2c

The Ferrari FXX is not road legal. It can only be driven on a well prepared racetrack. That was a really ignorant post WRX.

I missed the part where it was not road legal, I always thought it was an upgraded version limited street legal version of the Enzo. Good catch Vigo!

No i't won't because even though the bugatti has more weight it still has 1000 horsepower and it's all whell drive so it can carve corners like crazy, not just go in a straight line.
