Sorry I have no love for Ferrari, a more pretentious and ostentatious car I can't imagine. I think of all the really fun and lower maintenance cars I could have for the price of one Ferrari like the one I've even listed in the OP I'm practical that way..

That's one reason I like the Corvette as it's so much less expensive comparatively speaking and still handles all cars like that quite well..

Personally I'd much rather buy something that I can make a performance car myself not buy one off the shelf like that built to someone elses standard, there's no satisfaction that comes out of that to know you bought it instead of producing it yourself there's no comparison in satisfaction, especially on the track..

Thanks for your honest opionion as ever.

What you said, does it for me " a more pretentious and ostentatious car I can't imagine " that's why I love em. :)

I might appreciate it more if a few of the people who buy them could or would actually drive them like they're designed. It's like when you see an old man or lady driving[?] something like an Aston Martin Vanquish or something equally sporty when they should be driving a Vigo or something but doing it like they're going to the grocery store, or worse yet doing it while they ARE actually going to the grocery store, it's such a waste :annoyed: ..

But very seldom is it that you see one being driven well and quickly, it's too much car for the masses..

Having said that there's really only model I'd consider (that's a lie I'd consider any of them if given to me so I could resell them) as it's one of the few Ferrari's I do appreciate it's style.. It's along the lines of the old Daytona, kind of retro..

Gee come to think of it you must have been crying in your beer then if you watched the video of that rich Chinese having his laborers bash that F50. Actually not sure if it was an F50 I just looked real quick nothing worth watching really..

:lol: Aston Martin well they are beautiful but I would say that anyway because I am English but at my age I would still love to drive a F50 to 7-11

Come on you like them and as the one in the picture, money aside they have always been special, not mass produced.

Maybe you are too young to remember but your picture reminds me of the Ferrari Super Fast with America in mind.:whistling:

The 500 Superfast, introduced at the Geneva Auto Show in 1964, represented the pinnacle of luxury road-going Ferraris. As such, it was the last of a line that began in 1956 with the 410 Superamerica, and by 1960, had advanced to the 400 Superamerica. With a claimed 400 horsepower from its almost five-liter Columbo-based V12 engine, the 500 Superfast was claimed to reach 168 mph while offering a high degree of luxury. Thirty-six Superfast coupes were built through 1966, spanning two series; there were no cabriolets. Chassis, suspension and running gear were typical for Ferraris of the day, with independent front suspension and a live rear axle. The transmission was a five-speed all-synchromesh manual box, and disc brakes provided the stopping power. Whow ! :D

Kwasaki that is a Ferrari California not an Aston, I do like the Aston too though and neither of those carry the price tag that the Ferrari generally does..

Girls car eh Powder?? Of course it is, but I think you mean girl magnet, that's the whole point, what Ferrari isn't a girls car?? :lol::P

Old folk that drive '' super '' cars to the local store, which it seems you don't like to see, are old folk with balls. Not a waste at all, for-filling their passion at every opportunity and not having their ride collecting dust as an ornament. I used to go to the shops in my Pontiac, not a super car but it turned every head and l am one of your oldies. :bah:
