Question?

How difficult is it put the canvas top on this car? Does anyone have pics of this?

I really have no clue on the difficulty but I'm sure you wouldn't want to have the top on. It looks horrid and you'll be hating life if you drive over 70 with it on.

Yes but I think its one of the nicest looking cars on the planet. If I bought one in Dallas I would need to have the top since it can thunderstorm on a moments notice.

Also do you know its 0-60 time?

it shouldn't be too difficult to get the top on if you need it. The owner that gave me a ride in his said that he's gotten the 0-60 time down to about 4.2 seconds.

I heard that the soft top takes 30 minutes to put on. I dont know if they were exagerating?

Great to see you've ventured into the Ferrari forum too Tony. Are you thinking of getting one?

Tony- I think you may have heard that the hard top takes 30 minutes to put on. that wouldnt suprise me because they are heavy..and the ones for the 550 Barchetta are NASTY lookin

The soft top could probably be put up in a minute or less...it works just like a regular one on other convertibles..ill find some pics with the top up..they arent very beautiful...

edit..found some

[with the top...they arent very beautiful]

You aren't kidding. But the car without the top is perfect.

I have long been looking at Ferraris and I expect that I will continue just looking. I'm not into collecting cars. So with the 4 that I have I am already over the limit of what I can enjoy at once. I'm certainly out of garage space. Maybe one day I'll trade one in. Still Ferrari has some beautiful cars and a wonderful pedegree.
