    THe above picture is an accurate representation of Race mode on the QV. Awesome car. I did 10 hot laps in one, back to back with a M3 and the QV is on a different level. 4 door Ferrari. Pre Owned with 10k miles for 50k, will be hard to beat.
    But will it self destruct for no reason in a way that only an Alfa could?

    I have a broken/missing bleeder valve on one of my brakes. I know that nothing ceramic is cheap, but this may be....maybe not. Is this something that I can fix myself, or do I need to bring it in? Will it be expensive?

    Rennlist ftw, great resource for stuff like that. Part is likely on PelicanParts. Don't forget to top off the fluid afterwards.

    Not a "missing" bleeder or your brake fluid would be missing, as well. Most likely a snapped one...but that caliper looks way to new to have a rust frozen bleeder. Some knucklehead mechanic snap it and didn't tell you?

    Put it on a bench and try to tap it out, but I've never had luck with tapping out that small of a diameter. You will need a decent machinist's drill press to do a proper job of it. I've heard some have had luck welding a little nib onto to broken part and turning it out...but that depends on what metal the bleeder is made from.

    Take it to a machinist before you order a new caliper...he may be able to get it out for
    cheaper than a caliper.

    Nice wheel, btw. What sled is it off of?

    I'm fascinated by the classic lines of the Maserati Sebring Series 2.

    Both members of the "I wish I was an Aston Martin DB3" club. The 410 SA falls somewhere around the 330 GT on the list of ugliest Ferraris.

    I guess you forgot about the 456



    The 410 SA looks more like a DB5

    I don't mind the 456 (or any Ferrari in that amazing deep blue), it's like Enzo made a 928.

    Did Ferrari outsource their CD player head units to Porsche?

    It's identical to a 996



    Just as well, probably more reliable this way.

    Although it looks like you can't put a disc in while in park in the Ferrari.

    ^ I'm zapping that center console below the radio next week. Free up some leg room & replace it w carpet.

    456M is a pretty car but needs a little tuning to look like a Ferrari. Spacers & a size up in OEM wheels would make a big difference imo.

    I've seen that console delete and it looks clean. It is funny looking in those cd slots and seeing what's been in there for years.
