I've had mine for 14 months and have 9500 miles. It has done long trips and short ones, and a few track days. It has surprised a number of supposedly 'superior' sports cars.

I have had the ECU worked for a bit more HP and torque...and it has been completely derestricted....and it will do 202-203....it's hard to tell as the speedo only goes to 200!

Overall opinion.....Great Car!

2 wks and 2 days old, 1,350 miles. I love driving it, day or night. I'm still getting to know it (handling characteristics) closer to the limit of adhesion.

Hello IngenereAMG!

What tyres and tyrepressure are you using for 203?

Does the digital speedo show more than 200?

Kind regards,
ubi

I didn't use the digital speedo readout. That's a good idea. I'll use it next time.

I used the Pirelli Rosso Corsa tires....28/30 psi

Dino,

Do you have to go that far below the factory recommended pressures for the extreme speed? I haven't seen the Rosso Corsas anywhere, just the P zero rosso. They weren't the standard tire and if not where did you get them? Thanks.
