Theme of the 11/12 issue of "Automobile." One of the fantasies involved driving a 2013 Ferrari F12 Berlinetta on the Fiorano track, which Jason Cammisa did. I'll buy that as a fantasy!

Remarkable to me is how little our nine year old engineering gives up to the latest technology...at least in things measurable.

F12 is 200 lbs heavier, worse fuel economy (13/18), marginally faster to 62 mph (3.1), same top speed (211), and a $330,000 base price.

I'm not knocking this supercar. I'm just even more amazed at how well our cars are holding up.

Our cars also don't have that "air bridge" with a separate body panel, RX-8 front fenders and that unbelievably unattractive humongous shelf/ledge thing in the doors.

There was a time when I thought Ferrari could do no wrong.......:frown

No option to have a clutch pedal is just...wrong.
