Don't get me wrong, I like a ferrari, just not the enzo. Me personnally, I would like a dark blue 550 maranello. Major pimpage right there.

i would pick the f430 over the benz any day

Enzos are nice but damn

Yeah the clutch might be 14k to change but come on...if anyone is actually going to buy one of these cars, 14k doesn't mean shit to them. I'd go with the F430 all the way on this just because it's probably more fun to drive. There are certain areas I'm sure the 722 is faster in, but on a road course the Ferrari is probably a greater pleasure to drive. Not to mention the soul, the Mercedes Mclaren lacks the soul that the Ferrari does. I've seen a few on the road and actually know someone who has one and it just doesn't do it. Look at the weight on the 722 as well, good lord its heavy!

good choice id take a silver 575m same thing just a tad bit better

[GTIKEN]

How about a 512 Testarossa. Don't even tell me you guys wouldn't rock the TR

[bmxer99]

lets talk about price range though.. enzo is unbelievable over priced.

id take the 722 anyday. the ferrari doesnt deliver.. but this thread doesnt either.

[EVILZ33]

i like the TR but definitly wouldnt be the first ferrari id buy. my first is gonna be a 355

[bmxer99]

godamn!! 14k for a clutch change!!??? 40k for ****ing brakes???!?! **** that keep it

[bmxer99]

id pimp a ferrari 355 that is my fav ferrari i think. i just like how it looks. speed isnt everything. and plus where the **** in the states are you going to be able to enjoy all that power?

oh and one day i will own that damn 355 i guarantee it.

eBay Motors: Ferrari : 355 (item 170144040281 end time Sep-17-07 15:12:44 PDT) this one right here

[Blair_355]

Yeah thats the only ferrari i would buy.

[Memphis]

ok got a more accurate price on clutch change in a Enzo 11k and I think that includes labor

[97talon]

F430.

I wouldnt count out the blue devil in the corners, either. Everyone knows even the C6 Z06 is fast as hell on a track, but what isnt so apparent when comparing the laptimes from the 'ring and other venues is that the exotics are often shod with r-compounds (i.e. GT3) compared to the "regular" hi-performance tires the z06 comes with. R-compounds are worth up to 3-5 seconds on a typical 2 mile course.... the blue devil with be an absolute track monster, both straight line and on a road course. Sorry for the hijack - back to the mercedes and F430 discussion.

Yup it's 100,000 and it is a s/c'ed big cubed pushrod V8 that will make 650hp and 600 tq right out of the show room floor, all on a platform that weighs 2970lbs........As if the current Zo6 does'nt slap around the supercars bad enough already....lets add 145hp,125 lb ft of TQ and less weight.

I would take the mercedes over the ferrari. Is the ferrari more fun to drive? probably, but any car that spends more time on in the shop than on the road aint going to be fun. If I can afford a ferrari, im sure i can afford the repairs, but the downtime is unacceptable.
