Edo Competition Ferrari California

[f6fhellcat13]

If they were worried about such a thing they wouldn't have made the California in the first place.

Was about to edit my post to similar effect.

So, I suppose, this is the California's calling. Big reeims, gold-plated fart cans, and a big sound system; coming to a California to you.
"Eureka!"

I assume Ferrari keeps pretty close tabs on their customers. If they see somebody tuning a Ferrari they could refuse them in the future. Probably'd piss a lotta people off, but if they're worried about pure blood, it's one of the few things I can think for them to do.

I couldn't have said it better myself.

plus, for (much) later,(and in the unlikely case that some rapper did not already hang it around a tree) this car will not receive a Classiche Certificate...

I find it hard to believe that people who have their Ferraris tuned in this fashion would even be able to tell the difference in performance much before they hung it around a tree...obviously it's just a status thing. I wonder if the guy even drove the car before he decided it needed to be "tuned"?

With everything said I'd like to say that Edo Competition are among those 'good guys'. They got my respect after making an even more decent car from MC12.

There's no such thing as a good tuner.

See, now that is simply untrue and stupid.
Abarth, Alpine, Yenko, and others.
Sure most tuners are shit, but that is a pretty grievous oversimplification and generalization.

You are correct I retract that and replace it with there's no such thing as a good modern tuner.

Alpina is acceptable.

First of all, the California costs more than the F430 coupe, so it's not "the entry level model"

I was always under the impression that this was supposed to be the entry level model. If its not, what then is the point of the car? They may as well have just chopped the roof off the 599 , rather than bring out a whole new car.

They loose the warranty, just Stola and Novitec are allowed to tune Ferraris being also technical partners involved in the design.

Those with a function as that mentioned above.
So basically a lot of the German ones, but I consider them "good" only when they are designing the real thing, then when they sold some Cayenne/Touareg/Q7/whatever-based abomination, they loose all my "appreciation".

Alpina is registered as a car maker, not as a tuner.
Abarth was a brand, now it's a badge.

KFL's modified Maseratis are pretty sick though.

new school Ferrari will NEVER beat old school Ferrari.

new school Ferrari will NEVER beat old school Ferrari.

Im going to go ahead and, disagree with that statement. Just what will an old school Ferrari beat a new school Ferrari at? The only thing that it will always be is old school. People can always argue looks, comfort, sex appeal, and whatnots. A sweeping statement like that makes me smirk at the broadness of it. A similar statement is lthat "The 1.8t NeVAR lOOsis"

im into old school Ferrari's. the new ones just aren't very appealing to me anymore. BUT i also like Ferrari's from the 80's and 90's as well. its ok to disagree with someone. everybody is entitled to their own opinion.

Hey, they didn't even touch it from the outside but made it free of 'small Enzo' complexes. They've made what Ferrari didn't allow to make from the very beginning.
