    Wow, that's awesome!

      Try using a 25mm master cylinder for a firm brake pedal.

        If the brakes are still soft with a brand new cylinder, putting a bigger cylinder in is not going to help at all.

        My bet is that there is still air in the line, somewhere.

          I think it's a leak in a hard line or something in the boster hardware. I've bleed the hell out of it and even had Cal bleed it last year and nothing has fixed it. 25mm master cylinder has different size fittings for the hard lines. At least the M3 one does. Got one and returned it already

              That is awesome. How was it? Has anybody looked into the "driveline" of the FF. If not, do. It is an engineering nightmare/miracle.

                I've driven a 599 gtb, F430 spyder, F350, F355, as well as others. I'm truly blessed. None of these cars drive the way you expect. It's hard to appreciate just how fast these cars are until you are behind the wheel. You don't even want to know the expense of owning one, you'd be shocked how much an oil change costs at the Ferrari dealership. I'd say it's safe to say 1% of the owners actually work on their own cars.

                  Pretty much any Italian car that runs is a miracle. ;)

                  Yeah, the guys that do their own work have the older Ferraris. No way in hell one could work on a newer one DIY-style.

                  I've had the pleasure of driving the 355 Berlinetta, 360 Modena, 550 Maranello, and a 430 Scuderia. 355 is probably my favorite.

                      Let's just say I didn't get to drive it very far, but got plenty of time in the pax seat. The performance was fucking amazing, but the eloquence of the design was really captivating. It was just so different from any other super car or Ferrari for that matter. I couldn't find a bad angle. The exhaust note was the best I've ever heard.

                          I've only got to rev up an Enzo. That's the closest i've gotten to driving one...or any super car for that matter. It must be an awesome experience.

                            Driving exotic and expensive cars is awesome but scary at the same time as they aren't yours...

                                This. There are other more expensive brands, but I don't see the point in them if you aren't racing.
