Shocked much? I must say I am.
As good as he might be at leading a team or how good a driver he is, having him as CEO when he has no management experience seems a bit foolish.

"Schumacher revealed that Maranello is developing a successor to the Enzo supercar. It will be faster than Bugatti Veyron, with a top speed of at least 300 mph. " ;)
Guess FerrariPrinze was right..

also: "To compensate the lack of displacement, the V12 is fed by twin-turbochargers per cylinder. For better weight distribution, these two dozens turbochargers are installed in the cockpit next to the driver and right behind the air conditioning outlets, taking advantage of the cooling air flow" :)

Personally, I can't wait for the CS version. I love manuals in cars but manual labour takes things on to a whole new level.

With Schumacher at the helm never again will a TV set sit, broken and unusable. No more will their gardens and green spaces appear shabby and untended, and the 5-a-side factory team will always be on time for a match; that's for certain.

my favorite part:


According to Schumacher, carbon-fiber engine block will not only reduce weight substantially, but it will absorb the carbon-dioxide produced in the combustion chambers and result in carbon-fiber-dioxide. "It actually helps strengthening the block. The solid carbon-fiber-dioxide can be removed from the engine by our technicians after a period of time." Our question is, will the waste decompound back into CO2 in the nature ? "It doesn't matter, we will dump the waste at the backyard of Lamborghini. It's just miles away from our headquarters, very convenient."

WTF!! CEO of Ferrari... i mean sure the guy can draw a mean line but that's too much. I figure he'll be more useful then the Queen but less then Steve Jobs..the question is where in that gap will he lie. That car they are building will be unnatural though..that type of power can throw the earth off it's orbit..

edit: ok read the entire link...has Ferrari finally gone insane?? They saw power corrupts..but not even that captures this car..

BTW i would like to mention that it is only 9:49 in toronto on march 30th.. i mean have some heart..to build a man up like that and then crush him (insert crying emoticon which captures the crushed dreams of all ferrari fans who were insane enough to believe this could happen despite recognising the fact that it was impossible)

lol great one :D the last para is especially amusing:


The price of F117A Schumacher will be more expensive than Enzo, simply because Schumacher thinks his name more valuable than Enzo Ferrari. Apart from the car, customers will get a driving lesson by Schumacher himself and his photographs with original signature, as he has a lot of stocks no one wants.

umm, yeah. sure. but staten island sucks. so does harlem. brooklyn sucks in places, but overall i don't dislike it. but upper east side is where i spent most of my time. and i could live there for a few months without wanting to kill myself. personally i like having a 2000 sq ft house, and paying as much a month for it as you pay for a parking spot in the city.

Ok I've been to NYC more times then I can remember, and I lived outside of the city for a wile when I was in 2nd-3rd grade. It's a nice place to visit every now and then but I would never choose to live there.
