Note my other caveat, namely, an annual income of $2M. That should nicely handle a $300K car. Who needs a big house anyways? A big garage is where it's at.

NEW test from C&D:

0-60 3.3s
0-100 6.8s
1/4 mile 11.2s@131mph

fuel econ 11/15 observer fuel econ 10 mpg.

Sounds like a mastercard comercial:

Ferrari F599: $322 thousand dolllars
Tank of premium gas: $100
standing acceleration 0-100 mph in 6.8 sec...priceless

That's Carrera GT quick, quicker than McLaren SLR.

There is an exceptional video of the factory in which the F599 is produced, from casting the engine block to every detail of the painting process.

"Ultimate Factories" on the National Geographic Channel.

Interesting trivia - the Ferrari factory has a glass roof to improve working conditions for the employees and to allow for indoor trees - which help regulate and optimize the humidity inside for casting aluminum.
