Ferrari Mailing List: Re: GT-R vs. F355

[Dennis Liu (bigheaddennis]

Nope, deadly serious.

FWIW, the dash was designed by the folks who develop the Gran Turismo games,
and I'm sure that shows.

Don't really care, though.

Faster than a 911 Turbo around the 'Ring, for $68k?  Wow.

Sure, the Z06 is a great car.  But I will never, ever, own a Corvette, and
I'd argue that the GT-R is as good a bang-for-the-buck as the Z06, and
better than the Viper, and way better than the 911tt, and way way way better
than the 430 or Gallardo (again, on a bang-for-the-buck basis).  And it
should cream the new M3, the RS4, the IS-F, the AMG C, and pretty much
anything else.

Yeah, I'm hating the extra weight, but AWD is tough to beat at the track.
And I bet that $10k will get 650-700hp easily, which is NOT possible with
the Z06 (think $120k for the Blue Devil/Z07).

The 355s are still more beautiful, evocative, and perhaps more fun to drive,
but I can commute to work in the GT-R in January in New England....

vty,

I'm sure Liu was joking about having a GT-R on order. 

The preview articles in the recent magazines were like a mix of the owner's
manual of my plasma TV and the radar system on the Battlestar Gallactica.

490bhp out of a externally large and heavy V6 with two turbos is sad in
2007...real sad. Real use of technology would've produced a lightweight
500bhp normally aspirated motor that gets at least 25 mpg. 

Liu, your 355s will lose no respect to 4 wheeled cellphones such as these.
