Woppum Posted November 12, 2014 Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 (edited) Went to have a look at it today while it was having its pdi. I'm so pleased with the colour. Think cherry red pearlescent and you will be close. Pictures do not do it justice. It's incredible. I wanted a car I will look at in 40 years and just think YES. I think I did it Edited November 12, 2014 by Woppum 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woppum Posted November 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 Yes....its in a topaz at the moment getting a full wrap head to toe with healing film. In addition I have ordered 200 cell Capristo sports cats and novitec back box. Believe it or not these cars sound puny as standard. Hopefully it will now sound as mad as it looks .... And they say it will boost power to 640bhp too. Which would be nice 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Believe it or not these cars sound puny as standard. Well it's all relative, you mentalist, that's like Christina Hendricks having a boob job! Cannot be that quite surely? The FF and F12 are absolute barking - and they are meant to be the sensible Ferraris! The paint film this new Suntek 'self healing' stuff that seems to be top dog atm?

Woppum Posted November 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 (edited) The Gto has spoilt me in the noise dept. literally anything else sounds like someone has shoved a large vegetable down its pipes !

Busby Posted November 13, 2014 Report Share Posted November 13, 2014 Wow, that looks incredible. Congratulations I was at Ferrari World yesterday and looking at a yellow one they have there and boring the wife with how somebody off TSN had ordered one! Turnaround time has been surprisingly short too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rachel Posted November 13, 2014 Report Share Posted November 13, 2014 I love the Woppum Speciale plate! 458 Speciale and a 599 GTO - I think I hate you now a lot more than I was hating Bazza... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted November 13, 2014 Report Share Posted November 13, 2014 You nutcase! You still have the M3 I see, is that the daily driver or is the GTO just tooooo tempting in the morning? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garcon magnifique Posted November 13, 2014 Report Share Posted November 13, 2014 How does it feel to be the owner of two of the greatest cars Ferrari have ever made? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woppum Posted November 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2014 Thanks guys - really am on cloud cuckoo. I'm picking it up tomorrow at mid day with a few friends in some very tasty cars and we are going to make a day of it: it's currently in topaz getting a full film coverage so I'll be driving the weekend care free . I'll post up more pics later 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewNiceMrMe Posted November 14, 2014 Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 That is probably one of the few cars I can think of that merits the suffix "Speciale". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

max_b Posted November 15, 2014 Report Share Posted November 15, 2014 Wow, only just seen this. Woppum Speciale 1 of 1 - love it. Stunning car.

Woppum Posted November 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 (edited) My Gto is having a fair bit of work done. Hopefully back end of next week. Spent all of today driving. Seriously in love with this car. It's a fair bit faster than the italia but it all comes after about 4k revs. Pretty sure they is less torque low down, but as its lighter it really shifts. I actually would not be suprised if it is faster than the Gto in a straight line. Done 180 miles in her now, including the rain. Me and my friend with the 640 had a good drive then went to my friend at DK engeneering. The biggest difference.....the traction control......or lack of it in race it really let's you get very sideways . A lot of fun but in the wet or damp to be safe I wouldn't keep it in race mode on the road....where I would in the italia. Desperate for the exhaust, way too quiet. Also ordered carbon engine bay and will now order carbon rear difuser. Edited November 16, 2014 by Woppum 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Busby Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 Hold up! Something has passed me by - you have a GTO as well? Do you still have the 'standard' 458? I thought the plan was to replace that with the 458's replacement, keep the Speciale forever and the M3 was just loitering around! I must have missed the GTO arriving at some point. Fair play to you Sam. Your garage must look like Romans! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
