I'm on the list for this through my local dealer...I expect still to pay a premium though....the way it works is all the owners friends get 1st crack....then best long time customers...then customers...but mostly all will pay a premium

Anybody know when dealers will actually "place" orders and not only take down names.

Great sound, and super fast gearbox.....but only 20 xtra ponies. That scud was a "press" prepped euro version. The US car will weigh a lot more so real life performance figures over here will be less. For about the same money, you can get a novitec f430 and still make fast laps, while being almost untouchable on the street.

I hate how the US 360CS weighed more. Stupid US safety regulations and BS.

Maybe I should start doing Euro conversions to the US cars by removing some of the added crap.

Not a bad idea if you are strictly tracking the car. But if you drive on the street, some of the added weight makes sense, particularly the re inforcements neccessary for decent side impact crash protection. A nice compromise for US customers would be to bump the power by 40 or 50 hp to compensate for the added baggage.
