That's great!!! He does have a solid reason though. It doesn't perform as advertised.

I guess I could understand his problem. What if their were streets here where you can drive at any speed and your Mustang only did 100mph instead of the advertised 125?

So Ford's customer service is WAY better than Ferrari's if you go by Jeremy's, Top Gear host, recent return and reinburcement for his alarm-malfunctioning GT

Some people are never satisfied. Maybe he needs some higher octane pasta for the car.

Welp back in 99 the Cobra was advertised as having X horse power (X because i can't remeber the numbers) But couldn't do the advertised power. Everyone who bought it felt gyped and ford recalled them all and fixed them. Now that was a what sub $30K car and people were blowing gaskets over the hp numbers.

SO this guy goes and buys a Ferrari that is advertised as doing a zillion MPH and it will only do a million (too lazy to reread for actual numbers)

I don't think this guy is really in the wrong for wanting a car that lives up to the advertising. I think maybe he could have just asked Ferrari to tune it to do the advertised numbers but hey this is his choice.

I think he got buyer's remorse and wanted an excuse to get his money back.
