THE DRIVING EXPERIENCE  by

 Dennis J James 		9/21/2008 at 14:20
Everyone dreams of cars that they do not have and most probably, they will never have. Because let us face it, the chances of anyone of you owning a Ferrari or a Lamborghini in the next ten years are slim.

However, that does not stop you from dreaming about driving such a fast sports car and imagine how exactly the sensations behind the wheel of such a vehicle feel. This desire has probably been amplified by the more and more movies that are focused on fast cars and awesome driving skills (the James Bond series or the Fast and the Furious movies are just two relevant examples).

If you ever wanted to drive a Porsche, a Ferrari or a Lambo, this might be your lucky day. You can do this and much more with a driving experience program. Purchasing a Driving Experience is a great way to live out your wildest fantasies, whatever they may be.

If you are wondering what a Driving Experience is, then you should know that a driving experience is the closets as you’ll ever get to driving a fast car on a racetrack for an incredible low price.

However, there is more to a Driving Experience ride than just the fun of sitting behind the wheel of a 400 horsepower car. At first, the driving experience will usually begin with a safety and instructional lesson. You will learn how to drive and handle the car from a professional.

You will have an instructor assigned that will also give you many ...

FERRARI AUTO INSURANCE QUOTES  by

 Joseph Jones 		9/21/2008 at 14:19
When you are looking you Ferrari insurance quote, it is important to be aware of a couple of points. Firstly, the price you’re going to have to pay is going to differ greatly in some cases. Points of difference can be in what state you live, how old you are, and what your track record is. The model of your Ferrari will also be a factor. To give you an example of how important it is to shop around, I will show you very different quotes just by using the same car model. For this case I will be using a Ferrari F430 spider 2005 model.

TD Canada Trust: With this insurance company, the Ferrari insurance quote was $326.29 a month or $3,915 a year. Included in this package are, accident benefits, a liability limit of $1 million, collision coverage ranging in the $2,000 zone and a comprehensive coverage of about $2,000 also. While this price is pretty fare, I must remind you that, you get this price if you have a clean slate, meaning; no minor tickets, no major tickets, no claims, no accidents, no suspended license in previous years. What is also needed for this price is a driver training course, which is acceptable considering you might want to squeeze that pedal a little.

Kanetix: With virtually the same information, the price of an annual premium was $4,452. With less features, and also stingy coverage. A comprehensive coverage of $500 deductible, a deductible of $500 on collision coverage and a ...

FERRARI F2008  by

 Junaid Azmat 		9/21/2008 at 14:19
The Ferrari F2008 is a Formula One motor racing car, which Scuderia Ferrari is using to compete in the 2008 Formula One season.

It is the fifty fourth single-seater built by the Italian team and the design is code named as "659". The car was unveiled to the public on January 6, 2008.

After winning last years’ Constructer’s Championship, Ferrari made this new car to meet the new regulations of F1. There are quite a few notable changes in the car:

1. Introduction of a new electronic system to be used by all teams, known as SECU (Standard Electronic Control Unit) and produced by MES (McLaren Electronic Systems.)

It removes most of the driver aids used in previous seasons, including engine braking, traction control and electronically assisted starting system.

However it has some benefits as well: It has made management of the differential, engine and gear changes pretty much easier.

2. The wheelbase and weight distribution have been adapted to meet the challenge of the new regulations and on the basis of lessons learned last year in terms of the performance of the Bridgestone tyres.

3. The car also weighs more than last season’s F2007 chassis due to rule changes which includes the gearbox which has to be used for four consecutive races, higher side protection around the drivers helmet etc.

The gearbox casing is produced in carbon, while the transmission continues to be mounted longitudinally.

Team:

Mario Almondo
(Director of Operations)
Aldo Costa
(Technicial Director)
Gilles Simon
(Chief Engineer)
Kimi Raikkonen (Driver & Defending Champion)
Felipe Massa (Driver)

Engine:

Designation: Ferrari 056
Cylinder configuration: V8, 90 degrees
Cylinder block: Cast ...

HOW TO SELL MY FERRARI?  by

 Laura Copple 		9/21/2008 at 14:17
When asking yourself "How can I sell my Ferrari," there are several things you will want to take into consideration. This is not just any other car that you are getting off of your hands. This is an exotic car that can sell for a hefty price tag if you are smart. And in order to find a Ferrari buyer, you want to be careful about how you sell the car. Here are five steps to take when selling your Ferrari."

1. Getting it ready

The first step to selling a Ferrari is to get it ready. You want to make sure all of the ownership papers and service records are in order to give to the Ferrari buyer. You want to make sure it is running fine and give it a nice cleaning. Essentially, you want the car to be in its best condition so it is at its most desirable state.

2. Pricing the car

The next step to selling a Ferrari is to price it. This can be a difficult step because it is an exotic car, but you want to set a price that you believe you can find people to buy your Ferrari. It is difficult finding the balance between too much and too little.

The best way to go about pricing the car is to look in as many ads as possible. You want to see what other people are pricing their Ferraris at to get a basis of what you can sell yours for. In addition to looking ...

 Jonathan Blocker 		9/21/2008 at 14:16
If you are a Ferrari car owner, you know the pleasure that is yours when you slip behind the wheel of this fabulous driving machine. Did you know that you could enhance your enjoyment of these vehicles even more by participating in a Ferrari driving school? This is a fun way to get to understand how your Ferrari works, and what it is capable of on a racetrack.

The Ferrari North America School is located in Mont-Tremblant, northwest of Montreal. The driving takes place on a race track a little over two and a half miles long. Instructors make clear that this is not a school to train racers. This Ferrari Driving Experience school will give you the skills you need to get more out of driving your Ferrari.

The instructors have put in many championship wins on race tracks around the world. They are experienced in sharing their skills in a step-by-step manner; with early instruction providing vital tools upon which more advanced techniques will be built.

The Ferrari Driving Experience lasts for two and a half days, and begins with a champagne reception and dinner the evening before classes begin. Time is spent in both the classroom and on the track, although most of the time is spent behind the wheel. Classes cover such topics as vehicle dynamics and driving line. Track time includes introducing skills like how to handle the car in wet and dry conditions, including controlled skids, braking, and acceleration, and building on lapping techniques, beginning with sectional, ...

HOW TO EVALUATE A USED FERRARI FOR PURCHASE  by

 Jonathan Blocker 		9/21/2008 at 14:16
For car lovers, the ultimate in sports car pleasure is to slip behind the wheel of a Ferrari. If it is your deepest desire to own a Ferrari, you will want to make sure to evaluate the Ferrari carefully before you make a purchase. In this way you can ensure that you are getting a quality vehicle that will be a good investment.

Once you have narrowed down which particular Ferrari you would like to have as your own, you will need to get an idea of how much that vehicle is worth. There are some good sources for Ferrari valuation. Although ordinarily a wealth of information about several different makes of cars, the Kelley Blue Book lists no pricing information for used Ferraris. Instead, try the N.A.D.A. Official Used Car Guide. Select the "Consumer" guide, and then enter the make and model as well as the year, and you will get back pricing information.

You can search online for the investment car dealer nearest you, although you will certainly have a larger selection to choose from if your search is not limited by geography. When you have a particular car that you are considering, you will want to take a close look at the car’s history. One way to do that is to request a history report of the Ferrari for sale. There are several available online, including Experian Automotive and Carfax, which offers a guaranteed used car report for the history of the car.

In addition, you will want to inquire ...

FERRARI DRAWINGS  by

 Lukas Niklasson 		9/21/2008 at 14:12
Ferrari, just the name gets me excited! Drawing Ferraris is something I have done since many years back and I never get tired of it. For me drawing a Ferrari is like physically experiencing the car as if it was right there in front of me. I learn more about the lines of the car and see lines that I would normally not notice when just seeing a picture of a Ferrari.

My favorite Ferrari to draw is probably the Enzo or the 250 GTO, both very different cars from different eras.
Doing a Ferrari Enzo drawing is always exciting, because this car is so extreme and looks like no other. And because of the sharp edges it makes it a very challenging car to draw.
While a Ferrari 250 GTO drawing is very hard to draw correctly because of the beautiful curves this car has. Then again the reward of pulling it off is totally worth the frustrating hours getting those lines right!
A Ferrari F40 drawing is also very special to do, this car is so raw and its always a challenge to get that rawness to come alive in the drawing.

My best advise on how to improve your car drawings is simply to spend more time on them. For example if you are not fully satisfied with the front lights, don’t just continue with the drawing and hoping that the lights will get better by some magical touch! No, look at the lights and don’t give up on them until you ...

Ferrari was founded in 1929 by Enzo Ferrari and first produced cars in 1947. Today, the parent company for Ferrari is Fiat. The Ferraris engines are famous for their engine displacement technology. The V6 and the V8 are built in total displacement, while the V12 used a displacement of one cylinder. Some of the latest Ferrari models include the Ferrari 550, the 575 M Maranello, 599 GTB Fiorano, the 612 Scaglietti, the F355, the Ferrari 360, the F430, the Enzo Ferrari and the Ferrari FXX.

INDULGE YOURSELF WITH A SPORTS CAR RENTAL   by

 Jon Arnold 		6/5/2008 at 08:39
Have you ever driven an exotic sports car? Have you ever had the experience of cruising down the road in a foreign sports car, feeling the raw power through the steering wheel, and knowing that you are the envy of everyone who sees you drive by?

It is a great feeling, and it is a feeling that you can have, if you want to. There are hundreds of places across the US that will rent a sports car to you by the day or even by the week. Yes, it will cost a bit more than the typical Ford Taurus or Chevy Cavalier to rent, but for the unforgettable experience of driving such a fine piece of powerful machinery, it will be worth it, if for no other reason that bragging rights to your friends as well as the wondering eyes of your neighbors when they see that beauty parked in your driveway.

What are your options? If you do a bit of searching, you will likely find a business that does sports car rentals pretty close to almost any major city. Finding a Corvette or a Mustang Mach 1 is probably very simple. Even a Cadillac, Range Rover, Hummer H3 or Mercedes Benz would not be too difficult to find. But if you’re going to do this, then do it right. If your tastes are a bit sportier or you want to show off with European sports car flair, you can do that too. For example, you could rent a Ferrari ...

HOW TO PROTECT YOUR FERRARI FROM THEFT  by

 Jonathan Blocker 		6/5/2008 at 08:37
As a Ferrari owner, you know that after you have added this prized vehicle to your investment portfolio, it pays to take care of it properly. Routine Ferrari maintenance, appropriate insurance, careful driving and care all play a part in how well your Ferrari drives into the future. However, one important aspect of Ferrari care that you will not want to forget is protecting your automotive treasure from theft.

Much will depend on how you use the Ferrari. If it is a show piece that stays indoors, then protection is much simplified. If you drive the vehicle outdoors, then some steps are in order to ensure that your vehicle remains safe from harm.

Simple precautions can help prevent big crimes, such as auto theft. When you leave the vehicle, always secure it, and make sure to park in well-lit areas where there are a lot of people walking around. When you park the vehicle, turn the wheels sharply toward the curb, to make it harder for car thieves to tow away the car. Don’t leave Ferrari accessories in open view inside the vehicle. Also do not leave the registration or title inside the car.

Other steps that can help prevent theft include adding visible and audible anti-theft devices to the car. Brake locks can help. Steering wheel locks that keep the wheels stationary make your car more theft-proof. Tire locks and deflators can deter a thief, because they take too much time to deal with, thus making your car less attractive to a ...

360 MODENA  by

Ferrari 360 Modena
Heir Apparent:The Ferrari 360 Modena

At the turn of the century, the quiet little town of Modena was going about its business in the southern Po Valley in Italy. It was like any other town, with busy shops and hard working parents, and the streets were filled with children, who once in a while marveled at the machines that would occasionally rumble by on stiff rubber wheels. Three of those boys would go on to create legendary automotive companies that would bear their names – Maserati, Lamborghini and a young man named Enzo Ferrari. Today Modena is home of factories for automotive legends like Bugatti, De Tomaso, Lamborghini and, of course, Ferrari, thus earning it the reputation as the capital of engines.

Now, nearly one hundred years later, the little town has another distinction by virtue of its name – the 360 Modena, the first production car from Ferrari to be made entirely of aluminum. The line of small, two-seat sports cars went into production in 1999, and is modeled after its predecessor, the legendary F355, and serves as a replacement for the classic small-body Testerossa models, long the flagship of the brand. The 360 Modena is longer, taller, and with a wider wheel base than its ancestors, yet is slimmer in width, lending it less radical yet more muscular and aerodynamic lines.

Like any new Ferrari based on earlier designs, the Modena 360 is chock full of performance enhancements and technical innovations that result in zero-to-100 miles ...
