lots of cylinders, little displacement. Kinda like F1, what it lacks in TQ it makes up for in gearing.

When you have a car that cruises at 4k+ RPMs in stock trim and does 200+ MPH, you'll understand. They're not 1/4 mile cars. Hell, a lot of them would get smoked in the 1/4 mile by the big boys on here...But after that....well..that spec in your rearview mirror comes flying by REALLY fast...

No, it CRUISES at normal highway speed at like 4k. Those fucking things rev almost as bad as bikes. They make a Honda's RPM band look like a semi-truck.

From what I hear, their also heavier than the Enzo. I think Ferrari sold Maserati, if so the FXX should be no more.

why? the fxx is a ferari and has nothing to do with masterati. from what i understand it's pretty a race car that can only be driven at ferarri approved track events and afterwards they have to give ferarri feed back on the cars preformance. i believe the car is also maintaind by ferarri and owners even have the option of story it there.

Most exotics arnt even 10second cars. They usually range in the 11-12. Most big boys at tracks would eat one alive in a 1/4miles. Maybe not in over all top speed but 1/4mile.
