Looks like they are going to fix the burning problem.

Wow, that is fast. Glad to see them responding so quickly to customer reports...

I wonder if they can help out this poor... err rich... feller too?

If any of my cars ever burn up (or, rather, burn up again) I hope I have Rage Against the Machine blasting as the car is being consumed. It makes standing on the side of the road watching your sports car burn seem a bit less embarrassing.

No mention of a fire problem here...

The fire problem was from the glue on the heat shield melting in high ambient temperature climates like say Dubai for example. It was near one of the manifolds and caught fire. Ferrari fixed it and uses rivets now. Mine actually came from the factory with rivets. Meanwhile, the factory is replacing all cars damaged. For a 300k car that's pretty incredible customer service. Then again it was only 8 cars (1 was not a glue issue)

That good hey Mike! i still think its a great looking car but all those problems you can do without, did you loose much money or make some on it?

I am looking at an SLS a week on Monday, like the idea of one of those after the R8GT

Four recalls on the 458? I wasn't aware of that. What were the recalls? What didn't you like about the car Mike?
