Ferrari California Test Drive

Over the weekend, Ferrari invited me to test drive the new Ferrari California at The Pelican Hills Resort. The course was down PCH, head over to the 133 in Laguna Beach, back up to the 73, towards The Resort at Pelican Hills. The car definately lived up to it's hype. Pictures will be posted later tonight. I'm excited to see the first shippments of them in the next few months to all the owners in Socal.

I'd be interested to heard your impression on how the car drove. I saw one in person at dealer 2 mo ago. It looks just too much like a Maserati which shouldn't cost over $220k. I predict the 450 will be a huge hit as California will bring 450 to become more reliable, daily drivable cars.

I kinda feel the same way. The rear holds it's own, but the front is crazy close to the GT.
