It seems that the Ferrari and the Corvette had a couple of things in common: Bose stereo systems and MagneRide active damping systems.
From this weeks issue of AutoWeek and the article on the new Ferrari 599:
The 599 must be the first Ferrari with suspension control also available on a Buick (Corvette and Cadillac - my note). It’s equipped with Delphi’s Magne-Ride active damping system, which works by changing the viscosity of fluid in the shocks by increasing or decreasing a magnetic field. Manfredi says MagneRide is simple, lighter and faster than active systems that adjust shock valving. It has no mechanical parts, and response time is one millisecond.
This 620-hp, auto-climate, Bose-equipped supercar is like none before it.
Options run the gamut from custom appointments to off-the-shelf items like a nav system and 11-speaker Bose audio with DSP, noise-level compression and an iPod connection.
I wonder if Ferrari owners gripe about their Bose systems?
