Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Road tested '98 328iS 5 speed today

You miss understood me Tom (and probably everyone else)!  I meant  that all 
the cars that I mentioned are very, VERY capable and that everyone  on this 
list should know that already!  I just hate it when someone quotes  performance 
numbers only and have never driven the car they put down or praise  one that 
really isn't that great of a "driver"!  Those that own or at least  driven a 
Ferrari already know that performance is more than about measured  numbers.  
One 
of my favorite rides was in an MG (or maybe it was the crazy  owner behind the 
wheel?!?)  Anyway, that has to be one of the slowest  "numbers" performing 
car that I have ever been in BUT it was a hell of a lot of  FUN!!!!

Rodney,
You are wacko. I used to own a  '78 308gt4 and have been on this list
(the old one and now the "new" one)  since around '96 or so.  Forgive me, but
since when is it a crime to  discuss other cars of a performance nature?
I've had a Miata R, have driven  the Z roadster and didn't like it, (at least
not as much as the Boxster I  drove the same day) but I don't want to be
saddled with a possible  recurring RMS problem on it.  (rear main seal on
Boxster, also on  other water cooled Porsche cars).  The S2000 is on the
short list,  however.
Thanks for your feedback,
