Maybe because it's that I'm not rich, but I just don't get what's all wrapped up on what's now mostly a brand name, a style, and all of the conrived statements of how "Ferrari" is something so darn great. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Their older vehicles were definitely in a highly defined breed, but now, their just a different breed by being not that much better (that's if they are better). I enjoyed Michael Schumacher while he was winning, but the world is much more than just Formula 1, and my go cart from over 20 yrs. ago is engineered much more like a Formula 1 vehicle than some street legal sports car vehicle. Pardon my harsh analysis, but I'll rest now and wait for those who have something to chip in with. This post has been edited by Foxxton: Mar 10 2006, 02:42 AM |

I think some of the "snobiness" (at least when it comes to true track performance) is a result of the fact that many Ferrari owners know that an average guy, with a mildly modified $20k car will whoop their $100k car's butt on the track! A few Ferrari guys showed up at an open track day last year, and were passed by a few guys in S2000s and even a Civic! They were not pleased. There's another guy that I'm trying to convince to come out in May - he is still wishy-washy about it.
