i want an F430 but have decided to put up with an F355 by the end of 10 years instead

Id rather have a Nissan Skyline R34 (uk, not import - so of course, its V-Spec, whatever that means) in Bayside blue.

that or a 996 Turbo.

ferrari killers tbh - a standard skyline can trash a 360 Modena  :P

ferraris aint all about speed tho, they are about style and handling lol

snellgrove

The Skyline can corner very well - It only has 280bhp in standard trim supposedly - with less displacement and cylinders. (ok its got turbos!) so it must be better at brakes and corners, to be faster.

Ill have to find the video that shows it all - Its a Best Motoring one, has a 911 Turbo, Nissan Skyline R34, Modena, NSX and ..was it a Corvette or something?

Its a great video, the 911 wins with the Skyline coming close behind (Skyline catches up with the Porsche on corners, but obviously being jap with the 280bhp limitation lacks the torque (by a long way! 911 is VERY torquey) & bhp of the 911, so cant overtake)

Style.. yes the Ferrari is a winner there. You wouldnt get a skyline to pose in, they are brutish and angular looking.

Quote from: maximusotterWankeurs, tbh. Id rather tootle about in a rust flecked 82 F150, and put the money to better use: half goes to a tour of SE asian massage parlors with "happy endings", the other goes to Oxfam. Renting a day at the track with such a beast is one thing, but driving it daily to make up for your tiny cock is laughable.

mmm - I spy a green eyed monster

youd have a point if the owner had spunked all his cash on that car & couldnt afford anything else - however Id suspect that most people who own cars like that have plenty of spare cash kicking about & can afford to buy as many SE asian women as they want too.

me thinks you are forgetting about a little place called london

There are a surprising amount of Bentleys and Aston Martins around here.

My boss has a Ferrari 430 as well as a Merc SL55 AMG. Thats like saying why does 1 person need 2 cars but hes got so much money he can afford to do that.

Going back on the issue that a sports car isnt suitable for daily driving, the same goes for all the SUVs too.

Too right and every SUV driver is infinitely more of a prick than the Ferrari driver. A Ferarri driver uses the mirrors - even if only to watch you disappear.

exactly

tbh.. there are a few people in my office who drive flash cars - though most of them get the tube or bus to work and tbh.. most of them are pretty down to earth types - they just happen to like fast cars and happen to be able to afford them.
