m5board.com :Ferrari F430 F1 vs Chevrolet Corvette Z06 '06

wow everyone on here seems to be getting stressy. thats pathetic how old are you guys? who cares what car won and what lost. either way both very nice and very fast cars. apreiciate them for what they are. not mock them just because your favourite lost.

.....bentley's and most other proper cars can do multiple things at once. not just go fast around tracks, and straights, and be very cheap. if they had to put all these things in a 'vette, the price would go up, then people start complaining that it's too pricey. huh! even though they added more things for the benefit of the consumers, the consumer starts complaining. talk about wanting to be really cheap, and low class. no offense!!!!

actually i would buy a ferrari, or 'vette if they were comfortable. cos i don't want back aches and whatever, after a nice long speedy drive. the car has to be well "balanced". i don't only want a car that goes fast. which is pretty much what a 'vette is. when i'm having a drink in my car i want somewhere to put it inbetween drinks. not that i would be drinking in a car like that anyway. even a bentley is fast and comfortable......

I guess its along the lines that americans arnt always bitching about how many cup holders or pretty lights are inside the car... Grow up man, you dont buy a ferrari or a corvette for the comfortable ride. If u wanted the ride you would buy a bently or something.

Picture this A PhD. Living in Villefranche-sur-mer. A villa with a swimming pool and acres of land. A Beneteau Cyclades 50,4 on the dock. Dressing at Saville Raw. Living the classy dolce vitta with your wife and your friends. Then A) Driving a Corvette? B) Driving a Ferrari? I think there's only one answer...

stupid dog!!!!! ha, ha, ha, haaa!!!!!

good comeback, faggot !

faggot, faggot, faggot....you're probably one yourself aren't you. you poor thing. you lack common sense and you have no class. DOG!!

thats because you have no common sense, faggot!

well from what i've seen what you refer to as common sense, us normal people call it stupidity. disgusting dog!!

I think all ppl with common sense disgust you, faggot!

people like you disgust me!!!

THE FERRARI EXPERIENCE... jesus man, pull that sausage out of your ass already... Someone onely cares about THE DRIVING EXPERIENCE and all they need is 4 wheels and a manual transmission. fookk off!!!

i don't know what's so difficult to understand about that. yes the 'vette is good, but you only get a car that performs really well, you don't get "THE EXPERIENCE" that ferraris offer. that's why they make they're cars with expensive leather, and spaceage material that doesn't come cheap...to give the driver "THE FERRARI EXPERIENCE", that's why they're pricey. and most other car companies do this. it's a pitty 'vette doesn't, and always wants to keep their cars dirt cheap, low quality, but fast.

well it seems most people supporting ferrari say the same things i've always been saying. people...cars like ferrari's are bought because you love them, and they capture you. they have a good balance of performance looks, style, & class. and those are things 'vette simply can't offer. 'vette builds their cars on mass production, and most of their budget went to making a good engine, and making it perform well, whereas the rest of it is utter rubbish. for a ferrari, you get the whole package!

TroyRx> Why are you so upset? 1. The Ferrari F430 is a better car. There, I said it. 2. The Ferrari F430 is waaaaay more expensive. 3. I value cars which perform at a premium over lavish interiors and an F1 program which has little to do with GT cars. 4. Due to my performance bias, the F430 is vastly inferior to the caveman Z06. I thought I was just calmly expressing my opinion. I didn't know you thought I was drilling you up the ass. Calm down, man.

back my shit up, apparently i've been talkin to an inbred and sayin the same thing over and over again about why Ferrari is expensive, but it seems like you have a vette so far up your ass you can't think of anything but, before u come back with the SAME shit again, go read about Ferrari F1 and its history and why a Ferrari is what it is and why a chevy will never be in the same class as Ferrari....little example Louis Vuitton vs Ralph Lauren

TroyRx> Actually, the Ferrari gets beat in a straight line and on the track. Sure, sure, sure, it's an image thing. ~shrug~ Maybe it's just because where I'm from, you're expected to back your "sh!t" up. Ferrari, for that price, does not.

Why should it beat a chey ? chevys are great cars, do you REALLY think when Ferrari is making a car, they're intentions are "hmmm what car can we beat in a straight line?", cmon man give me a break with this shit, at the end of the day the guy in the Ferrar is gonna be gettin laid, end of conversation.

TroyRx> First of all, I'm not sure where you get the idea that the wealthy do not evaluate their purchases. Sure, there are some who don't, but in general, even those with financial means still consider how they are expending their wealth. My point is that what exactly are these individuals affording themselves? The F430 is fabulous. My argument centers around the fact that, after paying top dollar and WAITING for the F430, it better be able to beat a Chevrolet...

no pissedpookie bottom line is, ferraris are for the rich who CAN afford, think about it, a rich person isn't gonna give a fuck about its price, also i mentioned that its expensive because thats where Ferrari makes its money to run F1, it costs over 300mil a year to run F1, you dont really think ferrari charges u an arm and a leg for nothing do you ?

TroyRx> Who cares if their cars are a major source of income? What they do with that money has nothing to do with me. They could spend it all on illegal, uncensored Japanese porn, for all I care. For a lot of people, the bottom line is that the F430, probably unjustifiably so when the performance bottom line is examined, is very, very (read: too)expensive.

theyre made for fat people who cant drive i love ferri's but theyve lost all passion the f40 was the last good car they made

I like both cars and i already ride an old version of the vette(i loved it) but in my opinion in general you just cannot compare both because Ferrari is a level above the vette and most machines because it´s made for the track not for drags(however they are fast in drags) ;)

the reason why ferraris cost a lot more is because of the materials they use, also it is a major source of income for F1
