Ferrari doesn't treat owners as royalty. Sometimes they act like they could care less about the owners. They have so many people on waiting list to purchase cars they do what they want. They do treat owners very well but i know of many horror stories as well.

Regarding BMW, when you show up at the dealership in a Z8 you get treated very well and they can service your car in the same day while getting an oil change for a Ferrari takes a week.

I'm assuming you're a Ferrari owner, and aside from owning one already, you're on the waiting list to recieve your new car, too?

Waiting on a list for 8 months to recieve a fully warrantied brand new hand built Italian sportscar is nothing. I'd easily wait 5 years without objection or complaint.

I agree who cares what it looks like as long as it can beat Ferrari.

Man, a Ferrari is just a car, after all. It's really, really nice car, but they're not the fastest cars in the world. I wouldn't wait 5 years for an Enzo when I could buy a race prepped McLaren F1 today.
