So wait your saying the 250gto is junk but just because its old you rate it? Whats your favourite rarri then you tore shit up in texan

Not in terms of being a collectable and the rarity like the f40, f50, Enzo, laferrari.

I should have been more clear, lol I say junk in terms of mass produced like 308's, 328's, 355 etc... In terms of quality and reliability of old models

The new ones, the california, f12, 458 are built exceptionally well and the quality is a lot different than the past, they hold up much better and can be used more like everyday car

I'm originally from Los Angeles and that's where I drove those cars, I personally like Porsches for being more simple and "easier to maintain" using that term loosely lol than italian Ferraris. Ferraris are some of the most nicest drives I've ever been in but they are also very feisty, high up keep cars, more so than any german. But I guess that's the price u pay and the clientele can def afford it

My fav was def the f430 scuderia. Fucking hardcore!! Haha I want to drive the 458 speciale one day

American cars are no match vs the Europeans.

Aside from ferrari all your beloved Lamborghini's and British cars are owned by Germans. Lamborghini's by Audi, Bentley by VW, Rolls by BMW, Mini by BMW, even Aston is slowing getting bought by Mercedes

Italians and British make good looking cars that can't run right and just sit in the shop all day, the German's make it run and actually somewhat reliable

Nothings sounds like an american v8. Ferraris sound like japanese motorcycles.

Plus America is ecades ahead of Europe custom fabrication wise.

European cars are superior regarding fuel consumption and interior quality.

aside from big motors american cars are decent, thier main selling point is perfromance to dollars ratio but wealthy folks don't give a shit about Chevy or ford

If Americans are so superior how come the new vettes look euro and all the new fords are pretty much euro designed in fords European branch.. Hmmmm

If u knew anything about F1 and the way Ferraris sound is cause they are flat plane V8's made to rev over 8k+ RPM's. No american car can match a 4.5 liter close to 600hp with no turbo or supercharger V8

Linear piston velocity is the big factor; a 4.5 v8 as a lot less stroke distance than a 7.0 v8 don't you think?, hence much more revving hability.
Japanese 1.0 motorbikes are making street 200hp engines so ferrari doesn't bring nothing out of the ordinary. Honda actually did many years back with the v-tech technology. Two liter engines making 220hp.

True. Both are different applications and approach of the V8

Honda did with thier K motors but it was practically undrivable with zero torque

A ferrari 600 hp NA out of a 4.5 production car with usable torque is impressive no matter how u spin it

BMW squeezed 360 out of a 3.2 straight six

Volkswagen with their naturally aspirated v6 putting out 200 bhp with a much better and understated acoustical profile.

Plus the upkeep is very manageable financially speaking.

I'm partial to Japanese. I've had German, Italian, and American in the past and had too many problems with all of them.

The good ole Buik grand national would smoke most of these cars worth 5-10 times as much. Such. Beast of a car. For maybe $20k more it can smoke most new ferraris in. Quarter mile.
