What a ride!

Hello fellow digital Alfisti,

Well, boy did I have a ride the other day. My company owns a fleet of exotic 
cars for promotional purposes, among them 4 Ferraris. A friend of mine who 
takes care of the cars took me out for a spin in our 2000 Ferrari 360 Modena 
F1. The back of my head still hurts from hitting the headrest the first time 
he floored it!
I was extremely impressed with the design and quality of the 
interior...compared with the last Ferrari I was in, an '82 308GTSi, they've 
clearly made leaps and bounds in quality in that area.
The car seems to have no limits as far as handling is concerned, although I 
did feel the traction control kicking in quite obviously at times.
We briefly took the car up to what I'll vaguely refer to as an illegal speed, 
and the car remained rock solid...it felt like going 80 in my 164LS.
The only disappointment was the sound of the engine. It just doesn't come 
close to the growl of the Alfa V6. Nice, but not thrilling.
Next ride? We just got a 2002 360 Modena Spider F1.

Cheers!
