I would say to keep fuel in the tank.

That will definitely extend the enjoyment.

Lowered, wider rear tires and HRE wheels.

Looking great. Is it F1 or manual?

This car is an F1

I'm told the 599 feels heavy as opposed to a Maranello that feels light in the tail when driven fast around corners. Do you confirm that?

And it certainly looks very good.

The 599 GTB does have a reputation for "squatting" under acceleration.

That is easily corrected with better torsion bars and Novitec has them.

The newest HGTE has the same bars but of course Ferrari labeled!!!
