I picked the GIAC chip after hearing some problem stories about the Upsolute chip. Speed Gallery does the Giac for about 2k. (Yeah, I know, I'll hear from all the people who will say I was totally ripped off on price, or bought the wrong chip.) By the way, I also replaced the stock diverter; what a cheap piece of plastic!

I think the Ferrari 575 is one of the UGLIest cars made by Ferrari. I would rather drive a 996TT anyday of the week. But ive driven both, and against a 996TT that is stock, not an X-50, the 575 will win easily. Against an X-50, from a dead stop, it would be a drivers race, from a roll, the 575 will win again. The Murci will ruin both of them.

But...Not yet in possession of my 996tt, and not having driven an x50 equipped car or a 575M, I find it unlikely that the non-X50 equipped 996tt is 1.3 seconds slower to 100mph than the X50 equipped machine. I may be wrong. The X50 tested had the stock brakes (not PCCB).

The Enzo and 360M just don't do it for me. The same holds true with the new model.

LOL Allan...
You're wrong man. It may feel faster, but it's not.
Not in one test or anywhere does it beat the 996 TT. Every track time I've seen or read is slower too.

No. This is not mag racing. This is truth. Stock 996TT punched from 80mph is a dog. 575 is substantially quicker if you take away a 996TT owners launch with awd.

There is no truth to your statement.

The Murci won't ruin the x-50 either. The x-50 actually beat the Murci 0-100 in that issue of R&T that's scanned up on here. I'm sure there must been some sort of mistake there though, like the Lambos shifter fell off or the track was wet, hah.
