I dont want to get into a whole ABS argument again, but I came upon this video of a ferrari and what happens when you dont have ABS. Mind you that there is a professional driver driving the car, he is not going that fast, and the track is a bit wet. ABS would have been breatly beneficial to him in this case. Enjoy.....

linky no worky

and access the video from there

 

that was a funny video
ferrari's were not made to go slow..
super sensitive, powerful brakes and wet asphalt = instant lockage
Threshold breaking is really hard in the wet especially with Zero room for error

 

thats just awful!

 

I valet for a high end resturant and I see ferrari, Lambos, bentleys almost everyday. 95% of the time they are brand new cars with the stickers still on and 99% of the drivers are middle aged business men that dont even drive to 1% of the cars potential. Now THAT is just Awful

 

^^^^Too true. I swore that if I was ever rich enough to own a fast car such as a ferrari, I better have enough money to cover all of the speeding fines I would also recieve. I did come up upon a driver of a 360 Modena Stradale version, who actually(after me begging him to) did a burn out for me along with a reletively high speed pass with his rpm's around 8000.

 

at the portland auto show they had an enzo with rock chips all over it. the guy said theres 2 in oregon and one was owned by his boss, the other by a ferarri buff guy. he said they both drive the hell out of them and they have had phone calls from people saying they were just passed by the enzos going like 130 or 140.

 

Do you happen to know if the ferrari buff lives in southern Cali? There is a guy down the street from me who is a ferrari nut, and he built a 45 car garage, where he keeps some of his collection including a red ferrari.
