SURE IT IS!

Anyway, enjoy your car. Looks like a Mansory for sure.

The paint looks a bit like matte Rosso Fiorano, i like it!

i am going for black rims mansory put on the sirracusa (458 conversion).the paint is a new color, not sure what it is called, but it is damn expensive and is a 8 layer paint job.

@Slayclops: car is matte red/black

@dante71: entre st trop/ monaco et ptetre paris

@Aristotle: actually i think you are right! the scoop does not give more downforce! not sure though, but makes sense. and i will not be installing the scoop anyways, just made the call

tx!

Because. Racecar.

Besides, he already said in his other thread that he was an attention whore and a douche. Let him get the roofscoop if he wants. Then maybe we can all find out what they're good for on front engine cars.

easy there tiger, i did not give my answer much thought, but to be honest i just never questioned what the scoop was there for. and i am not an expert in aerodynamics but common sense tells me any significant change of the exterior has Some impact on the aerodynamic performance (what kind of impact is not clear though).

OH come on guys! i said something withought giving it too much thought and it comes back biting me in the ass. i do not want to go down on this forum as "THAT" guy. just let it slide please!

I defend your choice, even when it's a poor one. Honest question for you: Why not get a 599 GTO when I'm sure it's the same (or even less) money than the Mansory-tastrophe?

quickie · #27 06-30-2011, 01:27 PM

first of all, the scoop is gone for good!

secondly, it is obvious i considered a GTO, and your price estimate is no too far off. i wanted something unique, yet not crazy expensive like a zonda ( alittle over my budget) and i will say it again, for me the stallone is like a different take on the 599 design that i prefer. similar to zagato in that sense.

All in good fun man. Chill, we're all good friends here.

no offence taken, i just feel kinda stupid and embarrassed. i just concluded that there was some aerodynamic impact since front engined rally cars have huge scoops...
