Default Got to drive some dream cars today... Ferrari Scuderia, ZR1, 911 Twin Turbo S Cabriol

I was talking to a friend of mine earlier today and mentioned that we needed to get some videos playing around in his cars. He told me to come over, and was nice enough to let me drive all 3. Ferrari Scuderia, 1 of 90 in the US, ZR1 tuned by Livernois Motorsports, and 911 Carrera S Twin Turbo Cabriolet.

Ferrari F430 Scuderia, Corvette ZR1, Porsche 911 Twin Turbo S Cabriolet

All 3 of them are amazing cars and different in their own ways. The Ferrari was my favorite, followed by the ZR1, then the Porsche.

I would probably enjoy driving the zr1 more just because of the rear shifting. Paddle shifting seems kind of boring. Who knows, maybe I'll change my mind if I ever have a chance to drive one. ha

The ZR1 is the quickest in acceleration, followed by the Ferrari, then the Porsche. They were each cool in their own ways and all drive totally different.

I thought the Ferrari was the most fun to drive, just because of the "exotic factor". It also made me the most nervous to drive being $300,000+ when people would get up close behind or drift toward you while next to you staring. The ZR1 is just smooth and accelerates quickly. The Porsche was nice, but didn't seem like a $100,000+ car.

I haven't driven a ZR1 or a new 911 Turbo, but I have driven regular C6s, and several 996-series 911s and one 996 Turbo. I would think the impression would be the opposite; the C6 feels excellent to me for a $45k car, whereas even the regular 911s I've driven felt better than I imagined they would.

That Scud is a POS, tell him to get a 458. Kidding. That is one hell of a day though. Take 'em around any bends? Itd be fun/scary as hell to slide around in an exotic.

Its amazing how fast the paddle shift actually shifted the trans. It was instantaneous. Guess so though since a tranny rebuild would be 25k prolly lol.

They say it shifts in 60 milliseconds. It's probably more than 25k lol The brakes are 20k.

What else is amazing is how much the F430 gets blown out of the water by the 458. But of course the pricing of the 458 also blows a Nimitz class sized hole in the wallet!
