Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Corvettes Are...? (NFC)

[Rick Moseley (ramosel]

Don't fall for that bit of marketing hype.  The car P&M field for LeMans is a far cry from the car you buy at the Chevy dealer....    Oh sure, it looks like a vette, but no...  This is silhouette racing. 

Rick

Instead, you can't shift gears yourself in a Ferrari, Porsche has 3 cars that look like minivans,  the Vette allows the driver to actually control the car and keeps winning Le Mans?

Well, that's from 2010, so it's already a five year old platform he's selling.

I have to agree with your other points.  Once you have a road car that has won Le Mans in its homologated format and sports the technology without the "nannies" -- I think all the "driver's" marques should have the necessary "defeat" switches to turn off all the electronics (even ABS, if I really want the fun of flat-spotting tires on the track ...)

I wish Porsche and Ferrari would offer an option to go to the factory and participate hands on in building the engine going into the car I order!

Le Mans wins? Worthless
Validation by F1 and Indy drivers? Who cares?
Carbon brakes and electronic suspension? Old technology

Adherence to pure driving feel without excessive electronic intervention? Stupid

I dont really care for Vettes but driving them sure is fun...apparently some professionals share the same opinion?
