That's a lot of info V16. Thanks again. You obviously do a lot of research on F1 and tyres and cars. It is obvious the tyre scientists are constantly improving the grip of the tyres from the way the rules are changed from slick tyres to compulsory grooves even on dry weather tyres; and now the rule for compulsorily using hard compound tyres along with the softer ones. The way things are progressing, in a few years, they will only allow wet weather tyres.

Thanks again for all the information.

He sits in and takes a careful 7 minutes to park it right at the door. He then spends a good 10 minutes in the car savoring the experience!

So I guess there is an alternative for all of us!

****e, rtech, i was on marine drive on friday night when a white Gallardo SE rolls into the intercontinental, guy gets out, valet gets in, rich guy enters hotel, valet beaches the chin of the lambo on the slope!!!! OUCH!!!!!!

PS: Link to the video of the hideous crime!!!!

But bad news for mumbaikars.....all these cars like even this f430 is intended for delhi or bangalore mostly, but will have them for a day or two in mumbai for post delivery inspection.

Thank you so much for the wishes Farhad! I hope they come true! And if it's a location issue, don't worry, tell me where I need to come & I shall be there

And don't worry I'm not much a demanding guy, just a test drive of the following will do:

Koenigsegg CCX
Zonda F
Ferrari 599
Ferrari 430

See how simple I am

ya i just wish someone orders these cars then for sure i will be able to get them to mumbai and satisfy all your dream for a test drive in each of them. the cars are there ready for delivery, but buyers are too slow in deciding.
