IanMan Report post Posted July 7, 2015 How has the car been, man? I've had my eye on this Verde Mantis car at my dealership since they received it. It's absolutely gorgeous, and I'm hoping I can get one before I know it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RM-S8 Report post Posted July 8, 2015 How has the car been, man? I've had my eye on this Verde Mantis car at my dealership since they received it. It's absolutely gorgeous, and I'm hoping I can get one before I know it. The car has been absolutely great! My first exotic, so that probably adds to the excitement. Few weeks ago I took my son and we drove 3 1/2 hours each way to Watkins Glen Blancpain event. My big surprise was how easy and comfortable is to drive long distances. Kept the car 75% in strada and the rest in sport, few instances in corsa ( I was with my son ). One gripe, after 1800 miles still can't get used to the steering wheel switches. If opportunity arises get the Verde Mantis, it catches the attention like a peacock in heat (in a great way) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToofDoc Report post Posted July 9, 2015 Thank you guys. It was very difficult to keep the secret for 10 months. My son, huge performance cars buff, suspected something catching me viewing countless vids of Huracan and other exotics. I always managed to brush him off, "just nothing son, love those cars, that's all". That's great! Where in PA are you? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RM-S8 Report post Posted July 10, 2015 That's great! Where in PA are you? I'm in the middle of nowhere (woods, corn fields and corn fields). At least that's what I thought i was, thinking I'm (most likely) the only one with a Huracan in 50 mile radius. Was I wrong. A month after the purchase I spotted an orange Huracan on the road, I started to ask around and guess what ... Mario / Michael Andretti lives 15 miles next to me and one of them drives one. So, I'm very close to Nazareth. Wanna meet, bbq and shoot some paper targets up to 200 yards, pm? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chipster Report post Posted July 10, 2015 I saw my first Huracan in person today but it was driving by so it was brief. Orange with black wheels near Norfolk, VA. Looked incredible! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RM-S8 Report post Posted July 16, 2015 The car looked great right after its Fabspeed treatment last Friday! Must admit, the sound is ... hallucinogenic/mind blowing and soothing at the same time. Hard to describe. Very addictive. I'm on a crash course right now how to record, using Gopro, the exhaust without the wind and other unnecessary obstacles. John B. (Fabspeed lead guy), can you help? Wanna stop by this weekend and show me how, bring your family with you, pm? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you ever get this straightened out? If not I know who you can talk to about it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RM-S8 Report post Posted July 28, 2015 Did you ever get this straightened out? If not I know who you can talk to about it. Look at the post #62. That's me learning a new profession as a cameraman. John Brandenberger from Fabspeed is telling me that the exhaust has completely overwhelmed the microphone. Trust me, in real life the car sounds sooo much better.
