"Fuck it, one more skid before we go!" haha nice!

Only 10% of Ferrari's street cars that are sold are driven like this, most are NOT, the usually driven at highways speeds, slower than I drive my Chevy Cavalier because they are worried about wearing down the tires, clutch, and god forbid...getting a little dirt on it.

Most people who can afford cars like this are 50+ age group who are retiring upper management professionals, CEOS, etc...many of who can't drive worth a shit but when it comes to picking up some 20+ year old pussy its great.

@SoloRacerDotCom

Very useful info there!I didn't thought of that!I just thought that they put the paddles wherever they like them to be!So I guess its up to the manufacturers to judge according to the steering ratio,where to put them,right?

@PIlotrcm a lot of them dont understand that a Ferrari can take all the abuse, it was built to do exactly that, any owner will tell you that if left in the garage w/o driving for a week or so, Ferraris will give problems, i personally know(uncle has had 4 Ferraris and just ordered the 458 spyder)yes its a shame but sitting around and complaining about it isnt gona get shit done whoever wants to can reach the stars, you'd be surprised how many millionares started with nothing...

@PIlotrcm Such is the problem with an amazing car like this. Ferrari should really find a way to make their cars more affordable. I know it sounds silly, but come on, this thing is $265,000 in the U.S., and that's like 7x the average person's salary. NOBODY can afford a car like this. It's such a shame. If I had a car like this, every. single. weekend. I would have it out on the track to let all those 562 horses run free, as they were made to.

@Pendemic Italians/Japanese put them on the steering column, BMW/Porsche seem to put them on the steering wheel. The advantage of fixed mount is that you always know where they are, & if they are long enough you can almost always reach them. Paddles attached to the wheel can get "lost" in certain situations if you don't keep your hands in the same place on the steering wheel all the time. My PS3 wheel has them on the wheel, but it's a very small wheel compared to a real car.
