Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Pontiac GTO Vs Ferrari GTO

[Britt2Asa (Britt2Asa]

Anybody who saw the 15 minute clip (race) on Top Gear last year with Clarkson 
racing a Veyron across Europe vs two guys in a small plane will understand 
the fun of this car or indeed any good GT car. Clarkson BTW was making fun of 
the Veyron for the past 3 years and basically hated it until he got to drive it 
for 2 days from Italy to London. THAT changed his mind! As to being 
overpriced? Well its basically unique so I guess if you want it you are going 
to have to 
pay...

...also, I hate to say this but I think that Ferrari P4/5 looks pretty 
crappy. Its like a kid drew a car with a crayon and then somebody decided to 
build 
it. Then again maybe it looks better in person....(the Enzo definitely 
does)....Still I don't really care for it, especially the front/front spoiler.
