Ferrari Mailing List: Cheap HP

[LtWacko (LtWacko]

It's pretty common here in the windy city to see 900+ HP Supra's.   Cost?  
$1500 plus car.  Yes, they are street driven in traffic with  no issues.  Yes, 
I 
have driven them.  Some have approached $20k  plus car.  Owner's personal 
touches.  There are also a few blown E36  M3's around:  400-700 HP.  Those cost 
upward of $15k plus car.   Plethora of V8's.  400-1500 HP.  Even more STi's and 
Evo's.   Price is all over the place.  Strangely, reliability seems to do 
less  with money - more like luck!  
 
Technology in the new supercars make them fantastic performers.  Yes,  the 
new GT-R was purpose built.  Beat the Porsche.  Give the GT-R it's  props.  
It's 
done it time and time again.  (anyone know of the vette's  best times around 
the 'ring?) Sometimes numbers are not the whole story.  A  Ferrari is still a 
Ferrari.  A Vette's a Vette.  A few of the exotic  car owners in the area also 
own Vettes for the track.  Why?  Cheap to  fix and replace and still have 
that rush of HP!
 
Would I love to track a Ferrari?  You bet!  I just can't afford  it and be 
competitive.  My past choices?  BMW, Chevy, Ford,  Honda and Mazda power.  Oh 
well.
