Behind the Scenes: Episode 14
Jacqueline Angara is no pro driver. In fact, she was pretty conservative. We were trying to do 0-60 blasts with her, but she couldn't nail the launch. In the Ferrari 575 with an F1 transmission, you have to "preload" the the car by applying brake pressure, hold it steady, squeeze on the throttle about half way, then quickly release the brake. The of course, you must shift at redline. She had a tough time with it. Eventually, our Producer jumped behind the wheel to click off the quik times, but the expression her face when she lit up the tires run after run was priceless.The 575 was on loan from NC Forged Wheels, who loaned us the Mercedes CLK 63 AMG Black series that you saw in Episode 2.
Now personally, I think the the Ferrari 575 is as sexy a car as we've ever had. Our producer seemed to favor the more flashy Ferraris. He's a hypocrite. We didn't show it on camera, but he was grinning ear to ear after his stint behind the wheel.
The car wash, as usual, was the favorite part of the day, at least for our filming crew. The full spread of pics can be found HERE
Here's some teaser pics to tide you over.
