.....now look at Chris "loving" his own FF and I mean loving it, it's secondhand, blue with beige/bone/off white leather but he just love's because it's a bit of everything, spots car, country estate and a proper GT.... and goes like "the heck".
Keeping spirit!
I find it hard to believe that Ferrari would ban one of the most respected car reviewer in the UK because of one blog rant.
Clarkson makes fun of american cars/diesels/hybrids all the time and never received a ban.
Not to mention the torque curve is from 1500 rpms so its pretty similar to the delivery of the m5. P.S I've been in love with m5 since the e39 so it is my favorite ever!!!
what did Chris Harris said between the minute 3:04 - 3:10 please ?...i didn't understand the last part
he complained a lot about ferrari tweaking their cars' setups before giving it to the journalists.
You know what i am a huge Ferrari fan by far my favorite company and i was upset by what Harris had said (I know its probably true) because it hurt to think they're dishonest, but i have to say hearing him compliment the car and keep his bias towards the companies practices a side shows how good of a reviewer he is...
On its face, that seems like an idea but there has to be a journalistic reason why that isn't done and it probably isn't the insurance.
I've seen enough group car reviews where authors wrote, "We couldn't obtain car such-and-such because Lamborghini/Ferrari/Porsche/BMW/Bentley didn't have one available," to see that it would have been blindingly apparent for them to go rent one from a luxury car lot.
Maybe someone from EVO could chime in but they probably don't read the comments...
As one other chap said to me recently: "Because he revealed how Ferrari would provide vehicles for tests that couldn't have possibly been stock, like a 360 that was a second or more faster to 100mph than anything seen before.
Or they'd show up to a test with a fleet of engineers to fettle the vehicle so the reviewer would have no way of knowing what they were doing when other manufacturers simply handed over the key and said "bring it back in one piece, please." /jeebus2121/
2:23 hate that noise of understeer...
What I don't understand is how they can ban him from driving customer's cars
He wrote about how Ferrari sends tuned cars to reporters, and forbid them driving the normal shop cars. They did not like that. The fact seems to be that Ferrari specially tune the cars depending on where reporters will drive them, track, road, whatever, they will go there, tune the car, and then hand it to the reporter. Also, the beef up the engine, so the press car might be two seconds faster to 100km/h than the shop car. They seemingly want that to be a secret.
@PaganiZondaDrifter he's banned because he wrote that Ferrari press cars are tuned in horsepower and settings
reminds me of the z3 'breadvan'
he bad mouthed them a while ago and he's not allowed to review them in the media anymore
M5 quick? I don't understand how this could be anything but quicker than an m5 I mean it has 100 more horsepower same tourque and is either the same weight or slightly lighter.
@PaganiZondaDrifter Type in "how ferrari spins" and read his article, That will sum it up
why banned?
look up the jalopnik story called "how Ferrari spins" and you will see why he is banned
@TheRIGEL1982 agree :)
@dailyforman He is banned because he said that Ferrari tunes their test cars to win comparos
why is u banned from ferrari?
@jeebus2121 the funniest thing is that many people think other constructors like (porsche, bmw, lambo, mclaren, audi...) brought stock cars hahahaha
Well I would rather watch Chris, than a Ferrari, he is more entertaining. Plus there are other cars out there.
@mammo8369 Like Chris, if I could afford it, I would by a GT3RS instead, or an older Ferrari like a 360 or vintage like a 330GT if I REALLY wanted one.
banned?..is it true?..
@palishloko It's a Ferrari V12.
Think about it.;D
why is he banned from driving ferraris?
They banned best car journalist, it's shame!!
@jo05dk
I'd bet money that almost all other car makers modify their press cars. Ferrari is probably just the worst.
Good thing that Chris Harris spoke up about it.
@TheRIGEL1982
Maybe i didn´t make myself understood.What I mean is that Ferrari spend millions of euros on tests by their professional drivers at their own loacations,hence they do not bother as much as Porsche,McLaren by what
journos say.In fact I was praising Ferrari for what it does and if anyone doesn´t, well thats their problem.
M5 quick!! No way
why i would rather have a lambo
@turbo311 yeh buy a porsche and watch it loose value faster than a sinking titanic...its funny because even though ferrari banned him, he stil has to get inside them..shows you just how great ferrari cars are, people who are banned still get in them !!
@turbo311 you only say that because you cant afford to be in that club !!
chris got banned from voicing his suspicion...nothing wrong with that ferrari..
the Ferrari is "M5 quick" ... just not m5 priced! take that ferrari!
Love the clichés guys. You have obviously been following the forums. ;)
id ban him too
m5 quick? lol, he is very car knowledgeable
Is that a joke? This four passenger Ferrari could theoretically be cross shopped with an m5
Tell that to Pagani and Bugatti. I think more true petrolhead motor journalists looked to the Huayra than any Ferrari, even the butt ugly F70. Best at what? Styling? No. Grip? No. Top speed? No. Build quality? No. Comfort? No. They live on brand name loyalty and memories of past glory alone, and you know it.
Do you know what the really sad thing is? Owners has been trying to reach Ferrari for years and years, to have them correct their mistakes and errors, and they still don't give a shit.
The problem with Ferrari is that most of you analise it as a company,which is absolutely wrong IMHO.Ferrari is driven by dogmas like religion,hence you either believe and support them or you are out,some people call them fanatics and that is what the prancing horse is all about.
They are not German who will sit down,take their time to improve, conduct a zillion tests and finally come up with the answer.Ferrari just says:"here you are,wether you like it or not,we don´t care about your thoughts.
i think the driver likes to eat alot
i adore this car :) banned from Ferraris hah gr8
This is what got him band.

banned from driving ferraries? :D cool ban :D
