Seems like they're up to their usual shenanigans. I doubt that will ever change. I think the car is quite capable on its merits. Having said that, I'd love to be able to see what one, that's not dialed in to a particular circuit, is truly capable of.

Not impressed by the presentation skills of mr Rosberg, all is awesome and unbelievable, and thats it, not exactly a dept review...

I think that an F1 champion has enough experience to know how to think about a good car

Off course he has, but his presentation skills are terrible, as we have also seen in other reviews.

Dyno from Autoevolution

As a result of the work, the machine has jumped from its factory output of 720 hp to around 800 ponies.

To be more precise, the Italian exotic was strapped to a Mustang dyno, with the car delivering 619 hp and 469 lb-ft of torque in factory form. Following the trip to the gym, those numbers jumped to 687 and 575 lb-ft at the rear wheels (keep in mind that you have to multiply that by 1.15 to get the approximate crank output).

Numbers aside, this Prancing Horse can put on quite a show. First of all, the voice of the machine has become louder, as you'll be able to notice in the brief piece of footage below (use the scroll feature of the Instagram post to check out the dyno graph).

Then there's the... dragony side of the supercar, as the beast spits flames with ease.

Of course, with the Ferrari 488 Pista falling slightly behind the McLaren 720S in terms of drag racing, aficioandos wonder if this modde example can leave the Woking animal trailing in its wake (what? the world of racing is not always fair, so this tuned-vs-stock comparo shouldn't surprise you).

That makes no flipping' sense! Why would they ban him? Other people post their track times in the track forums. Fchat is starting to get like mclife, and I really don't like it.

Sometimes Ferrari headquarters make them delete posts/threads (usually info about new upcoming cars).

The censorship is ridiculous.

To my knowledge nobody has ever been banned from McLife, even people who were just there to troll.

Thats interesting if true, but thats also not the part I was thinking about. I was more so thinking about the part where people are just a bit overly sensitive to Ferrari vs McLaren. You can't post anything about the opposite car on either forum without getting blasted. Personally, I was insulted by some members on mclife, so I'm not a fan of the site. Thats the scenario I was thinking of. I can understand why brooks is "upset" or "disappointed." If I would have insulted those guys back, I probably would've been banned, too.

F chat embodying the spirit of Ferrari.

Update. Apparently, the mods and admin are saying that:

Brooks never contacted them before making his video and is just trying to stir the pot.
They banned him for posting a video from his business, as he is an LLC.

 

[WBarnes]

He never gets banned for posting the same videos on McLife.

On FChat you get banned just for having an opinion, or pointing out that a LaFerrari doesn't weigh 1360kg, or do 0-300kph is 15s.

Ferrarichat is Sovietreunion.

 

[WBarnes]

More like Tiananmen Square given how many people they dispose of just for having an opinion.

 

[kingjr9000]

If true, this is going to get interesting from an outside pov. These are two separate responses to two different comments.

I would call this "Ferrari collector's spec". It looks politically correct.
