Default Not Impressed....

I raced a Ferrari yesterday and lets just say if I had spent $200K-$300K on that car, I would want my money back. All I can say is Camaro SS (1) Ferrari (0).

1. What model/year Ferrari?

2. What are your mods?

3. Are you sure he was racing you? That's one thing that always gets me...I'm sure there are plenty of stupid ***** out there that have pulled away from me at a light thinking they were racing.

Find your closest brick wall, aim your head at it, and run as fast as you can. Should fix your problem.

My Enzo order is cancelled as of now also ! I don't care about all the races they've won on the european circuit ! Who cares that its hand built ! Who cares that you can literally drive it from the dealership to the track. If it can't beat a Ls1 in a straight line then I'm out ! No ! No ! No ! Don't try to convince me ! I mean i was going to pay in monopoly money(that's the only way I can afford one !), but if it can't beat a modded LS1 in a straight line while in stock form then I'm done !

Camaro SSSS here I come ! I wonder how many monopoly sets I'll have to crack open to get one, Hmmmm !

J/K !

I remember I pulled up next to an F355 in my '69 Charger years back. I was young, stupid, and figured what the f**k why not so I rev on him. Light turns green, I mash the gas and the Charger roars and shudders and shakes and bucks and starts pulling forward. As I look behind I can see the F355 calmly making its way out of my burnout-smoke. I start to slow because this Ferrari isn't moving at all and I'm thinking WTF? As the Ferrari drives by I can see the owner is on his 'cell.

What have we learned from this? Anyone with enough clout to buy a car like a Ferrari doesn't give a s**t about some douche bag in a piece of s**t Camaro or Charger. If the Ferrari in my post or the OP's would actually take the time to give a f**k that car could run circles around us all day long.

Oh and Ferrari F-50 FTMFW...

Yea...Honestly i could only see a ferrai owner even somewhat careing about c6Z06's and Vipers and above...if they even care about raceing those...

The bottom line is that even a guy in a 80K used 1997 355 ferrari still can afford the maintanance on that car and therefore is at a minimum very well off and could buy a SS camaro tomorrow and have every bolt on and supercharger on it a week later...

Gonna be very hard to impress those guys or make them want to race whatsoever....
