This looks like the 575 Maranellos' "Nice" sister. Nothing wrong, it just doesn't fire the soul like other Ferraris or the new Vette. Speaking of wich, Combine this with the Vette, through in an LS1, keep it under 30K, and call it Camaro. This is a classic Ferrari design. I got a 4 hour video on the history of Ferrari for X-Mas. I see so many styling cues from older GT models. Thanks for the pics. I'll buy and drive GM but there'll always be a place in my heart for Ferrari.

On top of Scaglietti, all covered with cheese, I lost my poor meatball, when somebody sneezed.

it's all so appetizing in the wrong sort of way...

**BigAls87Z28** · 01-07-2004, 12:00 PM

again, Id kill a small village to have one of these cars.... OMG ferrari makes the greatest cars ever. I think Chevy should have Ferrari design the next camaro.

Anybody can make an car look and drive good if you're going to charge 300K for it. Big whoop-ti-doo, I think Ferraris suck not because they're bad cars, they're great cars in fact, but the pricetag and the overly-complex powertrains indicate an inability to engineer well.

If you had 300k to throw around you could easily make a Geo Metro outperform anything with a prancing horse on the hood.

Dude, its a freaking Ferrari.
A Geo Metro with even $10,000 invested in it would be simply degrading :drevil:

BBcamaroSS · 01-16-2004, 06:39 PM

Well, no matter how much cash you put in a car you might not get close to a ferrari. Enzo for that matter but when you want a good comparison look at a new corvette and a new viper.....why spend $80,000+ on a car when you can spend $50,000 on a corvette and put $10,000 in it and you could make it smoke a viper. But then there are the people who dont know how to do that sort of stuff on there car and they have to give it to a guy to do it and they end up spending another $10,000 which makes it pointless...and theres a huge spider on my desk. I hate spiders eeeeeeek...

frenstall · 01-17-2004, 12:29 AM

Ferrari is all about pure sports machine fun that only you and a select few are privelaged enough to share. Corvette is about a solid sports/muscle car with gobs of power but slightly unrefined everything else, its built for Joe Everyman to be the ultimate afordable sports car, and it does it damn well. But if I ever had the money to buy a Ferrari I can tell you that beyond a shadow of a doubt that a vette would not be on my shopping list. ... now a Cadillac Sixteen, yeah, that would be on there.

anyone else think that radio looks cheap? at least for a ferrari. I'd expect a better console too for my money, its a bit cheap looking.
