This guy is a pure genius:

Basically, he spent 15 years building a perfect scale model of a Ferrari, engine and all. Talk about some serious dedication!

Good performance is better than a good excuse.

That is dedication. I hope Ferrari picks this guy up as an engineer or something. Imagine looking at nothing but photographs and creating a scaled car that works!

That is begging for some high torque servos and the rest of the required RC kit. THEN You could take it for a spin.

You're talking to an expert here! Crashing isn't part of my vocabulary (except when using windows).
