Ferrari brakes required to slow down quickly whilst... towing caravans?

It's got a tow-bar!

IIRC that'll mess up the brake balance, the fronts will locks while the rears aren't doing much, and it won't stop as quickly as it did before they started.

Especially if something heavy is leaning on the back!

Actually, unless they've fitted dual master cylinders or a decent bias setup it's more than likely going to be the other way around. You'll smoke the rears long before the fronts have come into play.

If you're going out on track that's easy. Remove the passenger seat and there's more than enough room for wheels and bits.

When I picked up my last set of rims with tires I found that unless they were stacked so high that I could not use my passenger side mirror I could not get all 4 in the cabin. Had to put one rear in the frunk, and the spare in the cabin. Not great to drive to the 'Ring that way. :?

I think a little trailer would be funny too! :lol:

Oh and my wife likes to come to the events too! Hard to ask her to hang on top O:)

Getting back on topic!! The car has Brembo callipers, so they must be from an F40 :roll: That means the Mitsubishi made an F40 too, along with Nissan. Some people :mad:
