My dealer just told me about what I should be careful about with my 550. After telling him I went rather faster recently going up the grapevine, he caution me about the body of my car. “All the air flow devices must to working correctly on your 550 or at a high speed I can have a serious problem”. OK, my underside is good and tight but I must get my air dam repair. I must do this before my next trip down Thunder Road to Las Vegas next month.
Ferrari's don't spend their time in the wind tunnel for the cats ass
Offcourse your car should be in perfect order, not only the airflow devices, but also make sure that your tires are always at the right pressure, change fluids well in time and when you hear something you don't trust, don't wait untill the next service, but bring it in the same day. High speed cars give you a rush, but they are still mechanical things, they can break. But if you give it all the attention it needs, the riscs are much lower.

So how fast are we talking about? - You'd have to really be pushing it to suffer aerodynamic problems given the minor damage I've seen from the pictures you posted. If you've every seen a LeMans car after the race you'll see the sort of damage they suffer and they still manage to stay on the track at 200mph +
Your dealer is talking through his hat. I've driven the 550 both on the road at very high speed an also at Mugello, for 2 days. The car is so, so stable that it feel so secure. He's talking rubbish.
Which cat's ass are we talking about here? I wouldn't want my poor ass to spend time in a wind tunnel either
