If you can't afford the maintenance/fuel/insurance than you truly can't afford the car. For the same reason many people here go for the V6 Camaro or no Camaro at all, in the same respect a well-to-do person should not stretch themself to buy this car. A rule of thumb is you shouldn't be buying a car thats more than 1 year of salary for you, so for a $200k+ car you have to be rolling in some serious cash to buy it.

I have driven half of those and the Ferrari's are AMAZING.
The F430 is a sweet ride and you can get them for less money. Try one and see if you agree - They are worth it! The Audi R8 is BOORING - It feels like a rent-a-car unless you have your foot in it. Too small, too civilized. Lambo Gallardo - Sweet sounds - sweet ride. Get one if you can't get the F430. Avoid the carbon brakes unless you autocross a lot. They are like anchors once they warm up. They go from normal brakes to very agressive when warm and nothing in between. Not a fun street setup in my opinion. The Maserati GT is a DOG to try to drive hard. Not much under the hood. You do get some excusivity and style but not much else. Too much "touring" in the grand touring if you get my drift. The Ford GT is an uncomfotable car to get in and out of. It feels great at speed but it lives like a thinly disguised race car. Like a track only car with lights and turn signals. Shifter sucks big time but it is otherwise very driveable. So much torque you almost don't need to shift. For my money - get the older Ferrari and pay $$$ for the maintenence. If you save driving it for just the special sunny days, it should not be too bad. It makes you think you are a better driver than you actually are. Google "Wold Class Driving" and start saving your pennies. -Mark. |

You mean the better, less over-styled one?

If you want a low-maintenance super car get yourself a 997 Turbo.
With just a tune and clutch change my dads 997 is running 11.0 @ 124mph and handles the road course like a CHAMP! Love that car, lol. |

I agree, out of those cars those would be the top two for me. In general, I hate mercedies but that reminds me of the old Gull wings and those are kinda cool. I'd take the 5.2 R8 any day of the week though. Some day I'm gonna have me one of them... |

Ferrari is king. Whoever said something about world class driving, I agree wholeheartedly. That is an awesome experience and the whole rule about not getting on it or messing around in the cars is completely gone when you actually start driving them. At one point we had all 6 cars (gallardo, f430, Maserati GS, aston vantage, bentley, Ford GT) going at least 130 on the highway. It looked like gumball 3000 or something out of a movie. Fantastic day. I actually have videos somewhere if anyone wants to see them.
