Nah, not quite the same impact.
I guess your opinion of Ferris Bueller's day off depends heavily upon your age at the time. In 1986, it was the latest in a string of brilliant movies by John Hughes. Mr Hughes seemed to understand and capture young adults and teen angst like no other film maker. To this day, I don't know that anyone has done it better. Even in my (early) forties, a replay of Sixteen Candles, Pretty in Pink, the Breakfast Club or Ferris Bueller's Day off will transport me back to my misspent youth and rivet me to the TV for the rest of the afternoon.
...and John Hughes rarely forgot to include an eclectic collection of rides to assist in his story telling.
Ferris Bueller - Ferrari 250 GT (a kit)
Some Kind of Wonderful - Mini Cooper - '67 Mustang - Jaguar Mark VII - Corvette Convertible
Sixteen Candles - Porsche 944 - Rolls Royce Corniche Convertible
etc...etc...etc...
