====================

Dude, you realize that you can walk out and buy a big sedan today, off the
lot, that smokes a LOT of Ferraris, right?  And I'm not just talking about
the M-cars, or the AMGs, but everything from RS6s to XKRs to, oh, Dodge
Chargers and heck even some cheap Japanese sedans.  Watch out for that Dodge
Magnum STATION WAGON!

Heck, I bought a Nissan Armada last year to tow my sh!t around.  This is a
massive, gigantic SUV that tows 9000 lbs. and seats 8 people.

And it's FASTER than the original Ferrari 308:  

2006 Nissan Armada:     0-60 in 7.0 sec, 1/4-mile: 15.5 sec
1977 Ferrari 308 GTB:   0-60 in 8.2 sec, 1/4 mile: 17.0 sec

Now, of course, there are faster 308s out there, but if they are faster than
the Armada, it's only be a split second.  And one can claim that the Ferrari
would be faster around a track, but if you put them on equal tire compounds,
I don't know for sure.  :-)

And, of course, that's 30 years of technological advancement, but the point
here is that a FRIGGIN' GIANT SUV designed to haul 8 people and tow a large
trailer or go off roading is ABOUT AS FAST as one of the most appealing,
exotic 2-seat sports cars of all time.

That's technology for you.


Vty,

--Dennis
