If tests with Ferrari sports cars are manipulated to convey a good image.
Because Chris Harris, only now, after years of testing and Ferraris opens his mouth to speak that the Italians are crooks.
Chris Harris with his attitude and vulgar words, has lost credibility, something happened, that Ferrari will be promised a free car to him and then changed his mind, and you got angry.
Chris Harris you're nothing but a kid asksgo out and a place for real men.

Isn't this over-thinking the whole issue a bit?

If a Ferrari stirs your soul then who cares if they tune their test cars?

If you don't like the brand, don't buy it.

I don't care what this guys says.

I have really enjoyed my Ferrari and will buy again.

2 seconds to 100 is crazy. As are stickier tires. I griped about Nissan doing this with GTR tests, I will do the same to Ferrari despite them being a favorite marque of mine, second only to Porsche.

I remember this around the CS time as well. Sucks it's still happening so much. Either way, good on Chris Harris. More credibility to him for sticking to his journalism.

While this is very true, I think the underlying message of Chris is that Ferrari does make fantastic cars and doesn't need to pull these stunts. Their cars are phenomenal. Everyone knows that. However, their approach is not very clean (assuming Chris is right).
