see......they brought theirs
(i know, you need a trunk on this trip)
The whole drive up here I told the wife how good this would have been in the Ferrari.
On the road!

That is the model that replaced the one I have. They went back to steel construction and upped the power a bunch. They also added AWD (the first ever for Ferrari), and refined pretty much everything in accordance with Ferrari's move to improve. They made it into a hatchback looking thing, which I dislike compared to the 612 trunk back. I looked at a couple of FFs, but I couldn't deal with the hatch. Anyway, I think everyone but me prefers the FF, and even I can't deny it is a better car. They are not uncommon here and are pretty affordable if you don't mind one with some miles.
Top is FF, bottom is 612.

that FF is Fuggin Fugly!!
and sometimes "improvements" are not.
(i believe i would take a 1969 365 GTS over any other Ferrari ever made)

This one belongs to my dentist, apparently. I like Tiltsta’s better.

Duller than cardboard
Mid-80s "Pinin" concept car notwithstanding, Ferrari hasn't made a four-door...yet.

I'm not sure what you might be seeing. Aston Martin Rapide, maybe? Those are kinda striking.

maybe it was the one T.R. posted, but it definitely had a hatch back and the prancing horse on the front fender. and, imo, ugly as hell.

I didn't get a pic of it, but last night I was driving past the casino near Battle Creek, and a Chevy Camaro ZL1 1LE was pulling into the parking lot. The Camaro with the ridiculous wing on the back, but can do 200mph.
Basically looked like this, red:
that's nice and all....but where ya gonna do 200 mph, besides a race track?
(i'm over the whole "who's got the most H.P." wars)

The Autobahn? Montana?

not anymore on the autobahn. and i don't think there's a 200 mph speed limit in montana.
bonneville salt flats would be the only place to legally do that, but 99.99999% of those who would try would kill themselves.
but the point is, more and more and more horsepower doesn't mean anything if you can't actually use it.

It means you can merge onto the freeway at speed, though.
Unless a soccer mom is in front of you in her SUV, merging into 70mph traffic at 40mph

this is true, but you don't need to spend $75,000 and have 700 HP to merge at 70 mph.It means you can merge onto the freeway at speed, though.

my Jeep Compass will do that just fine.
i'm just sayin'

My 138hp 1.4 turbo Cruze has trouble sometimes. If the on-ramp is going uphill, for example. So if I had a 700hp Chevy Cruze...
