A Preview Of The 2013 Ferrari California

While certainly a "budget" vehicle when compared to some of Ferrari's lineup, the 308 GTB was and still is cherished by many Ferrari lovers throughout the world when it was released in the late 1970s.

The second disappointment occurred over "cheap." Now, the word is a relative measure. The term "cheaper" would be more precise. When there's a hundred-thousand-dollar difference between the price tags, the lower one is indeed cheaper but definitely not cheap. You get the idea.

However, even if Ferrari F430 takes your breath away with its appearance, the super car title goes to the Porsche Carrera 4S with a more complete all round package.

A modern sports car should feature these characteristics: it should be started easily, maneuvered around town, blasted on a couple of country roads, it looks and performs the part on a racetrack but at the same time it is very safe.

When it came to a 3 liter engine the choice lay between the two, because the short engine could be opened up all the way to a 3 liter capacity, while the long one could be "sleeved down". It really could be said to depend on the specific design priorities at and on hand. True the bigger engine promised greater reserves of strength and reliability, but inevitably was much heavier and needed to be installed in a bigger and heftier chassis.

Standard features on this Ferrariinclude 8-way power driver and passenger seats, remote power door locks, windows and mirrors, cruise control, variable intermittent rain sensing wipers, front cupholders, remote trunk release, retained accessory power, tilt and telescoping steering wheel, traction and audio controls on the steering wheel, electronic speed-proportional power steering, 12 volt power outlets, interior air filtration, dual driver and passenger climate control, front reading lights, 6-speaker AM/FM in-dash single CD player with CD MP3 playback stereo, auxiliary audio input and iPod/iPhone integration, radio data system, pre-wired for phone, Bluetooth wireless data link for hands free phone and more.

And the final disappointment landed on the top. No rag top for me. Another reminder: "This is Southern California. Spyders are popular," said the perpetually smiling salesman of the cars in the showroom. (Or is it spiders?) This was a reference not to multi-legged insects, not one of which was in the room, but to the term they use for popular convertibles where the sun shines perpetually. The company that makes my small car calls convertibles "cabriolets." I don't know why so many different names exist for cars without roofs. Or is it rooves?

If you bought a Ferrari, you likely made that purchase for investment reasons, you tell yourself. And that is likely true, but what is also true is that you bought it because you love to drive a sports car fast, it cannot be denied. If this describes your relationship to your Ferrari, and if you have had some race training and experience, then you might be ready to participate in the North American Ferrari Challenge Series for non-professional racers who are Ferrari owners competing in Ferrari racing against each other.
