yep i suck

i've touched a 550 Barchetta :D :cool: :) :p :silly2: :sun: :flash: i dont know how you dont like the rollbar thingys Heep. they look awesome! the wheels look cool too! i love the carbon fiber trim in the interior. i didnt know they had that. they are making 448 of them and they are all sold. ferrari was going to make 445 originally but in Japan that is some kind of bad number(i guess something like 13 for USA) so ferrari upped it to 448.

I actually sat in seat number 445 last night at a game show. Must be why I didn't win. :(

what game show?

LOL!

I dunno. I still like the coupe better. I think the roll bars would look a whole lot better if they were shorter than the windshield, but of course that kind of defeats the purpose of them. I prefer the Maranello wheels without all the bolts around the outside.

i think the rollbars are what makes it look so good. you're entitled to your opinion, even though it's stupid...just kidding. the wheels aren't awesome or gross in my book but they look nice.

I'm the same as Heep when it comes to the hoops and wheels. I prefer hoops like on a Boxter or on this miata...

I'm sure I'd probly love it in real life, but until then, pictures will have to suffice, and they don't really do it justice.

I'm pretty sure Ferrari could manage something similar if they wanted to.

I don't know about that, when I went to the Auto Show last Year My dad was looking at the C70 Convertible and he touched the Rollbars and the plastic Cover around them broke off. We just put it back on and walked away :)

The covers are break-away, and the roll bars beneath pop up about a foot and a half.

I've learned not to expect car show cars to always be in top shape. By the last day of the L.A. car show this year, almost every car I looked at had something broken off, usually radio knobs.

the Ferrari dealer i went to yesterday had tons and tons of 550 barchetta 1:18 models, i would have bought one but i forgot my check book. they were awesome! there is always the car show though...

Today i saw a black 550 barchetta twice and i swear that i stopped breathing, not to mention i completely missed the light when it was my turn. that thing is gorgeous!

I would have pulled U turn and followed him, just so I could look at it some more.:D :D :D

Ugh, you do suck! Add this car to my wish list. Ever since it hit the cover of Forza I've been creaming my pants nightly over it. :-P

hehehe.....







.....i've also sat in an F40:D :D :D :D

i love the Barchetta. the have a few for sale in England. I dont know why anyone would want to sell it. The Merc CLK conv. also has pop up roll bars on it.




i too have sat in an F40, lucky me:D :D :D :D the guy promised to take me for a ride in it next time he comes to my house:D :bloated: :D

Well I'm not usually a Ferrari fan but I think I may have found heaven. I went up to see the new green Lamborghini Murcielago at the dealership near me and as I walked in I noticed sitting next to the Murcielago, a stunning red 550 Barchetta (I think it is number 438, I think) I don't think I will ever see a sight as good as that with the red 550 next to a green murcielago. It was unbelievable. Can you imagine having those 2 cars park in your garage. Now that would be heaven.
