Hahah! not the case guys considering I am about to buy a 430 spider! Ferrari has A LOT of shortcomings compared to turbos when it comes to pretty much all "objective" criteria - such as acceleration, traction, braking, cornering, usability, maintenance, reliability.
The above are facts and I ve lapped behind (only for a little bit lol!) numerous scuderias etc and I found out for myself all the above.. (also have it on video).
BUT when I test drove a mere F430 spider f1 I realized that all the above in a certain way are irrelevant as the ferrari is a completely different experience and UNIQUE in its own way. Not to mention that it looks like a piece of art and has huge presence. Everything seems to be designed to give the feeling of driving a racing car (and being a race driver yourself heheh!) while you maybe just doing 1st & 2nd gear accelerations on a empty stretch!
Hence I am trying to get my hands on one.. (Obviously all of the above are the own personal opinions and am sure others might strongly disagree.)
Mike S I am trying to get the 430 spider to use for a year until the MP12C comes out. Its hopefully going to be my first ferrari and in a year I am either going to sell my 740 hp 997 turbo or the spider to make space for the mclaren.. (hopefully)
