<< i was out on my porch listening to it... that is how and engine should sound. just a sweet mid range whine, almost like a turbine... oozed power... >>




if you listen closer, you'll realize it sounds pretty much like a S2000 with a nice exhaust system. Why? because Ferarri V8's are essentially two I4's combined. The same goes for the Lotus V8, except the turbos kinda mute the exhaust noises. Now a Ferarri V12... that's a totally different story!

I saw an F50(red, of course) while I was driving around once. I promptly pulled a 180 and followed it for as long as I could. Then I saw the same car again at the Portland Historic Races. THAT was an unbelievable car.

Man, that car is so beautiful, it's a damn shame you can't use it as a daily driver :D:D:D

Man where do you guys live to be so deprived of beautys like the F355? I live in Irvine, and all I have to do is cruise to Newport and they're there. When I was living in Calabasas, I just went to my neighbor's house. *yawn* But all in all it's cool to see one I guess. ;)

Oh, yeah...my boss *might* buy a 550 Maranello in a little while. I will certainly let you know what comes of that...

really i like the sound of an F6 the best. then again, i'm a porsche nut.

maybe the two chicks thing was stretching it... only maybe though. depends on the chicks.

I saw a red F355 once outside of Autolook Fine Cars on Middlefield/Finch in Scaroborough. Damn it was sweet...my friend took pics of it and I got to touch the Ferarri goodness. Also I got to see the engine thru the glass cover.

My favorite close encounter with a F355 was a race I got in with one. I was on my crotch rocket and he pulled up next to me and revved the engine. I looked over, smiled, and before I could downshift to give it a go, he was a block in front of me.
I was so flustered that a car wanted to race, I couldn't down shift fast enough. He probably would have beaten me anyway. No wait, he definately would have beaten me. The tires rolled over on him for about 50 feet after he punched it and we were already going 45-50 when he hit it. That car was super fast...:D

The closes I've been to one was in a Auto show. But they didn't let us get close to them. :(

That's why I don't like the Toronto Autoshow. You can't get close to the exotics and you can't sit inside the upscale-luxury cars (like the Benz, BMW, Jag, etc..)!

They didn't even allow us to touch the Ferarris and Lamborghinis! Bastards!

Sucks:
1. Owning a Ferrari where you can not really drive it;
2. Being in traffic in one.

i see some nice cars all the time at my school. there are several people who own some really nice jaguars, beamers, and mercedes. There are at least a couple of people who own porches, and there is even someone who has a hummer. (these are all parents, not the kids....) I don't think anyone has a ferari, though. But it would not suprise me to see one.
