I've heard people say before how it's pretty sad that a 10K car will smoke a 200K car, and that they are a waste of money etc.

I don't agree with that.

I would take a new f430 over any 9, 10 second, stang, camaro, vette, supra, whatever.

Even people comparing new z06s to say a f430. The z06 is a great car, maybe the best american sports car ever, and it is a little faster than an f430. But there is a reason where in ever single comparison (motor trend etc) they pick the f430.

Why? Because it's more than numbers. It the entire driving experience. The steering, the sound, the fit and finish. That's what you're paying for in addition to the fact that you'll own a car that you don't see everyday.

If I was filthy rich, instead of dumping a bunch of money into a "regular" car just for 9 sec timeslips or whatever...I'd get a f430 or something, add a tubi exhaust and some wheels and call it a day.

Thoughts?
