What I said was not meant to be taken literally. I don't think you understood the point I was making.
Ferrari is the Porsche of supercars. it's become the deafult. They're like the reigning Mr. Olympia. The judges automatically assume they are the winner. what I said has nothing to do with either cars performance in an actual race. It's not a direct comparison at all, really.

It was said that Ferrari has met it'smatch. Equally untrue is saying that the Ferrari that will compared to the Zonda is a better car. We won't know till they arecompared.
oh, i know what you meant...i just dont miss a chance to talk shit about porsch ;D

point taken , Ferrari is still making the best performance cars in the world , so they are no slouch in this department , the Bugatti Veyron will technically out perform any Ferrari but on a Track is where Ferrari shines but like I said it's pretty remarkable what Pagani has accomplished in such a short time for an upstart company and competition is something Ferrari always does well in.

True, but the Bugatti has all of the Volkswagon / Audi / Lambo / Bentley engineering and money behind it.

Take a car, a big engine, 4 turbos, and tune the suspension as much as possible and you get a Veyron.

and a price tag that makes it uncomparable to almost anything...

Oh, I dunno... The McLaren F1 was pretty steep back in 1995.

A Million bucks was no joke back then either... But as the comparison really goes... the McLaren is what is "mechanically possible" where the Bugatti is what is "engineering possible"

You're selling it short. The technology in that car is insane. The formula you mentioned was almost impossible to create. It had to be reliable, drivable on the road and luxurious as well.

I'm not selling it short... I'm just summarizing.

With money comes engineering marvels... That's all.

I am bored at work... I hit the "Show new replies to your posts" too often probably.

I should go home.

Got ya, I thought you meant a full crew race GT3...

Have you thought about get a IS300 as a project car...
