Its a monster, they make an Evo version now which is even more of a monster.

I'm kill to get ride in one with Kimi or Schumacher at the wheel.

Did you read that Wiki link? Sounds more like a time share than owning a car. Ferrari only lets them drive it on certain tracks on certain days and every time you drive it they want your report and feedback.

Sort of the ultimate bone to throw to their best customers. They get to be part of the design team.

But holy **** - 2546 lbs and 800 hp. I noticed whenever the guy got to a straight and jumped on it, the steering wheel would jerk. That much sudden torque and it's going to lurch into the direction the back wheels are aiming.

I'd be a little nervous driving one myself w/o working up to it. A ride with Schumacher would bed like one of those things you win in a charity auction for a bid of around $50K.
