Hard to argue that! Is there a Jensen Interceptor in there somewhere?

Not with the stretched tires all round plus the negative camber on the rear wheels.

A local amateur Drifter told me they want less grip specially at the rear.

That can be easily accomplished w/o ridiculous neg camber. Tires are harder, with a rigid sidewall and a shallow, almost bald tread. Drivers usually keep them slightly overinflated. Whether wider or narrow, that's up to the driver. Bias ply works better than radial.

Those riveted wheel flares are all the rage with younger car enthusiasts.
This car is not marketed to retired folks.

I don't really dislike the Ferrari. The stance is pretty nice and it's a nice color combination. As to the rear camber - that prancing horse is tuckin' harder than Kaitlyn Jenner....

Price wise, many here are thinking USA prices. Down under the car tabs are MUCH higher. Import fee & taxes for the most part. Figure double USA prices as a start.

Because Ferrari’s need all kinds of bolted on plastic shlt to look right.

That F car ain’t too bad, but I think I’d prefer this red-interior car.
Only 20k more.

How to ruin a perfectly good Ferrari, 1 paint it a repulsive color, Ferrari's need to be red. 2 Throw some crappy bolt on wheel well widners, if you are going to do it, you fiber glass it in and do it tastefully or don't do it. and the suspension in the rear? WTF? Looks like crap. Paint it red, and return the body back to stock. Bleecchhhh!No good mang!

The big problem with that car... They drilled and cut the fenders to fit the flares.

Everything else would be easy to fix.

I think the photos are exposed backwards. It looks like the steering wheel is on the wrong side.

It's actually on "The Right Side".
