What Would You Do?

Ferraris are not as small a production as many people think. Lambo (bankrupt at one point) by comparision truly is a very small production I think they have never produced more than 700 units of any one otheir cars TOTAL. Ferrari by contrast produce that many units of a particular model in a single year.

Anyhoo if I had unlimited funds I would drive a Ferrari every day of the week. Who cares about the $30,000 brake job when you've got that kind of dough.
I'd drive that thing everywhere, I'd park right in front of the 7-11 just as if it were a civic.

I didn't realize you can buy used Ferrari's so cheap. Found a nice low mileage 355 autotrader for $73k. Not bad. Also, for the comment earlier on not being fast, from what i can find this 1995 F355 gets to 60 in 4.7 seconds - no complaints from me on that.

Here's the link to the one on autotrader:

yep, my buddy bought his 348 Challenge car several years ago for about $80k. It was all set for the track - roll cage, slicks, the whole works.

Very reasonable to purchase. God help you if you have to repair it though. We thought our cars were expensive...

My friend's car proved to be reliable - he and his brother beat the crap out of it on a regular basis at the track and had no major problems.

This belongs to a guy from my PCA Chapter. I'd probably try to buy it from him. It has highly modified modern 3.6 power. It's a monster.

that is awesome. Wheels are a bit too modern for the rest of the car but I'd be drooling to get behind the wheel of that. A great investment.

As an aspiring Ferrari owner....many people can afford to BUY a Ferrari, just not many can afford to DRIVE a Ferrari....
