i personally think it is soooo retarded when someone goes....hahaha look....a $xxxxx beat an $xxxxxxxx car! you cant not compare a Ferrari with a Mazda. its like comparing shoes to speakers. 2 TOTALLY different things.

yes, an FD with an exhaust system and an ECU can easily beat a Ferrari 355 in a straight line. so could a $500 70's Camaro with a big block. a $2000 just beat a $150,000 car. but it just doesnt work that way. Ferrari's intention for their cars is NOT to go in a straight line. although they do it pretty damn well, that is not what a Ferrari is made for. Ferrari is not like Chevrolet.

another thing, if you own a Ferrari, will you ever race on the street?? if a civic came up to you and revved, will you race it?? maybe if a Lamborghini or 911 Turbo came up, well play around a little bit.

there is some common sense needed when talking about Farraris.

my fd with a Apex ECU and a catback just got eaten alive by a 355 F!

Your point is still valid. Even if you can smoke a 911 C2, you don't have a car better than a 911 C2.

Even if a Camero SS can beat my FD, it's still a pig iron, tank-***-heavy POS wiht cheap plastic

"you don't have a car better than a 911 C2"

thats not neccesarily true, it's a matter of opinion,
not neccessarily price,

personally I'd reather have an FD than a porsche,
if they had equal miles on them.

if mazda made an updated FD, with maybe an even snazier
interior, and alittle more stock reliablity, i'd SO RATHER have
one than a played out "perfect example of materialism" porsche.

Btw, there arent any cars out there other than mclaren F1's
that can touch some of the new ferrari's in the speed department
(under 4sec 0-60, jeez)

No.. actually i didnt get it off that site. It was this one: http://maxpages.com/viperhome/O_60_Times
There was also no mention of production vs. prototype.. it was just what is faster.... so put that in your pipe and smoke it!
