That's what I was thinking.
Roof rack or trailer mount ?
Maybe Yakima makes a Ferrari version that is just painted red and costs eight times as much as a standard model.
2010 Ferrari 458 Italia... GOOD GOD...

^ 'merica, where if you have enough money people will do the stupidest of sh*t for you.
damn, the trailer is prolly more expensive than my truck, especially with those 'ghini 5spokes
nice.. but i'd still rather have an Aston Martin DB9s
The Batmobile, foo'!

Wow. The 458's gorgeous. Even the wife likes it. Not so sure about that line of lights up the front fender though. Have to see some more views or go out to Westhampton 
Hopefully we don't fix healthcare and maybe someday I'll actually be able to afford one.

I had the luxury of having a customer event at the ferarri factory in maranello, italy a few years back.
It takes them 30 days to turn out a crank shaft. That is why it costs $250K for a car. Impressive.

you would be wrong about the sh*tty curve.
I'll ignore the RM experts and normal drama and just say that I love this thing......now all I need is approx. $300K...
One of the nicer looking Ferrari for a while. Has the ass of an Enzo. Not a fan of the headlights though.... little too much.
agreed...I mean if a person really wanted a performance car they could spend about 200K less and whoop all over a Ferrari...Ferrari's are just "oh look at me" cars...IMO...D
how can you compare NA power per L to Turbo???
the same way they did in the original posters linked story......
and for the record....speed is for suckers.
lol..I just notice the 12.5/1 compression ratio...say hello to race gas prices!!!
true...Honda did it nearly 9 years ago...of course it was only 120hp/ltr...
please. Ferraris are the pinnacle of innovation, style and performance.
and what would you get for $200k less? say the car is going to be $300k, for $100k you can get a Viper ACR, over priced Corvette ZR1, Ariel Atom 3....
lol..see my post above yours...but I will give them credit in the aero dept...D
Dude - you're worse than an Apple fanboi.true...Honda did it nearly 9 years ago...of course it was only 120hp/ltr...
Honda fanbois are worse. i hate riceDude - you're worse than an Apple fanboi.
My VW had 13:1 comp. Good thing the head breathed like an asthmatic underwater with a pulmonary embolism.
your just jealous. Macs aren't just a computer. They are a way of life.Dude - you're worse than an Apple fanboi.
if i ever were in a position to buy one of these i'd have to come up with a damn good reason why "just" a Nissan GTR wouldn't do. the extra 1% of performance is entirely irrelevant outside of a spec racing series, and the cachet is kind of wasted when one doesn't hobnob with old money in the first place
(at one time, a long time ago, i actually did want a ferrari. i've long been cured of this affliction.)

you know looks DO matter
dennis miller, is that you?
Lets see... A Datsun or a Ferrari. That was easy.
like I said earlier.....Ferrari's are just status symbols..."oh look at me I have a Ferrari"....the GTR is just as performance worthy and you save about 200k...it's called common sense...lol
it has nothing to do with being a fan of Honda's...but if you're going to start saying "leaders of innovation" it better be true...it's a fact that other car manufacturers have already done this long ago.Dude - you're worse than an Apple fanboi.
Many car companies have been pushing the Hp per/ltr. limit long ago and not charging the cost of a house to experience it!!

Son of a bitch.......
Yeah, because the type of person concerned with high performance and/or luxury automobiles is all about pinching pennies.
"Common sense" really doesn't factor into the equation. Also, ALL these types of cars are just status symbols. You can have the little faggy ricer or the head-turner ferrari... whatever. A big "look at me" sign would be much cheaper.
i'm sorry...but that car is simply amazing. i'd say it's mostly worth it. (the engineering at least). however, your pompous ferrari-is-the-coolest-thing-ever-and-i-gag-on-their-collective-cock attitude is really ridiculous. it's a sexy car, but there are other sexy cars out there. and whats wrong with the nissan? mad that it could kick your little fanboy ass? cars, while it's great for them to be pretty, are machines. and machines are made to do a job. and the nissan does it better. sorry for bursting your bubble. and, as many people have said, when are you going to even drive that? let alone have enough money to think of buying it? at least the nissan is 'reasonable.' the ferrari is nice, but this thread sucks.
i dont believe i ever said Ferraris are the coolest care thing ever as you put it. the Zonda, Konneenniggssigg, Gumpert, SLR 722, Aston One-77 and Lambos are all sick and sexy cars in their own right. I do believe though that Ferraris do it with class and have that awe factor that other cars have to go beyond the realm of being normal to come close.
theres nothing wrong with the GTR....if you like Datsuns that is. its fast, yes. does it look good? IMO no. its bland. the R34 was the last and only show stopper to come from Nissan. thankfully they didnt call the R35 a Skyline.
when am i going to drive a Ferrari? how about next month? when will i have enough money to buy one? now. will i buy one now? no
sure the Nissan is "reasonable," but so is a 997, Vette, Viper, any Lotus, Ariel Atom 2 or 3.
if you are trying to compare speed, then yes, the GTR is a damn fast car, theres no denying that. but trying to compare a Nissan to a Lambo, Ferrari or any other exotic is stupid.
stop trying to justify the Nissan. we get it

i'm not so much just justifying the nissan as a supercar (which it is, don't argue), as reveling in the ignorance of your attitude. but whatever. it's the internets. you've bought into their whole marketing scheme. and you're telling me you have enough money to buy a brand new ferrari? then do something good for other people with it, don't feed your ego. anyways, work called and said im supposed to be doing it
. thread still sucks.
