I am 64 years old I remember working on these American shit boxes when I 

was a teenager

They were shit back then when they were new!
Poorly built
Horrendous brakes and tires
Forget about any comfort
They were then  and still are the Harley Davidson's of the 4 wheel world
Noisy and don't handle
Thank god Americans don't all think like those idiots

Or we would have never landed on the moon,came up with color tv and 

air-conditioning

These guys are the Neanderthals of the car world
And as far as old Ferrari's are concerned

They at least had a racing heritage other than going fast for 1500' in a 

straight line!

Gotta go watch the F1race

In victory you deserve Champagne
In defeat you need it!

Scars are Tattoos with better stories !

If you follow all the rules
You miss all the fun!

Stupid money

For stupid cars

I sorta agree/disagree....

Muscle cars are great, but I never could rationalize them being worth
megabucks. I guess we could dismiss them as one trick ponies, but then
maybe we could do the same for vintage 250 series Ferraris that
couldn't handle or brake much better.

So we're putting on our red colored glasses and showing a bias for
exotics over muscle -- which I fully endorse. Just look at a 250 SWB
or 275 GTB....gorgeous and much classier looking interior.

Now a Cuda, Chevelle, Pontiac GTO are nice looking too in that muscle
way but not the same.

So I'm ok with "elite" muscle going for 100-200k perhaps, but this
$500k-$1M+ is insane. IIRC there may have been a $2 or $3M Cuda
sold....an extremely rare 1 of 5, convertible with manual, etc. Silly.
Like the 250 GTO version of muscle.

The good news for muscle is that you can get more or less the same
cars for a whole lot less if you're not obsessed with #s matching
crap, original this and that. There's no real stigma to doing
modifications and what not to these cars so long as you don't take
them to the big auction houses.

I believe one could get a "normal" muscle car for $50-60k these days
(less probably) and do what they want.  A far cry for a vintage
Ferrari.

I think they are trying to keep GT3 relevant, but when Audi, Porsche, 

Bentley, and Lamborghini all answer to Wolfsburg, it turns into a branding 

exercise.  Ferrari left sports car racing because they found their niche 

(F1) where they could get the most bang for their buck.

But the world is still full of people that buy into the concept of win on 

Sunday, sell on Monday...

Le Mans is starting to get wishy washey as well

Back in day the cars were cars even during the Ferrari Ford wars of the 

60's

But now they have quick change, super charged Diesel engines and 

transaxle assemblies

That have no resemblance to anything we see on the street

If it weren't for the P cars and wanna be Ferrari drivers in the 458 and 

the plastic shit box Vettes

Anyone watching would think this was a race of alien machines on this 

planet, in France no less!

I always watched Le Mans because initially it was not about money( just 

as FORD )

But it eventually got to money with Audi and Porsche

I agree with most everything posted. And I offer a few thoughts.

1. Double points is stupid. It effectively negates the results of a 

number of earlier races, at tracks with historical significance. It 

also enters a randomizing element into the championships. AND given 

that the stewards can take points away, impose grid penalties and 

impose drive-throughs/stop-n-goes, the 'show' can be stage managed just 

the way Bernie wants it: Championships decided on the last lap of the 

last race.

2. In-season testing ban is stupid.

3. Frozen engine development is stupid.

4. Penalties for racing incidents are stupid.
5. Claims of environmentally conscious racing are just greenwashing.

6. Rev-limits are stupid.

7. Banned movable aerodynamics, except for the double standard of where 

they are not banned, is stupid.

8. Banned traction control is stupid.

9. Banned anti-lock brakes is stupid.

10. Banned anti-dive hydraulics is stupid.

11. Banned continuous ratio gearboxes is stupid.

12. Banned launch control is stupid.

13. Regulated fuel burn rates and capacity limits are especially stupid 

since this is a self regulating issue. You want to burn more fuel? You 

have to carry more fuel (weight).

14. Brake by wire is stupid. What's next? Steer by wire? Soon we won't 

even need the precious little pretty-boy drivers at all!

What they have done is remove all the driver aids that we enjoy on our 

daily drivers and religated the high-tech gadgets to controlling the 

cars to converge them toward mediocrity. That was tried in the '80s 

with other sports; Lets give every player a trophy, independent of 

performance. What we got in exchange is the plethora entitled 

millennials that we now have to endure.

Yes, I'm disillusioned with the so-called sport. Its just turned into a 

spec series. And yes, I know its an entertainment industry, like all 

professional sport. And I would be just as disillusioned if Kimi and 

Fred were dueling at the sharp end.

I still watch all qualifying and all races and sometimes FP2 (since 

that's all we get), but I now watch only on DVR so I can actively avoid 

the sponsors. DirecTV's jump-ahead-15-seconds button is genius. I just 

hit that button until I see cars going round and round again.

Finally, some argue that with all the high-technology driver aids 

allowed, the series would turn into a parade with the top performers at 

the front. That may be BUT, shouldn't the top performers be at the 

front, instead of regulated so that everyone gets a trophy?!

My rant concludes.

Hahaha, pretty funny.

Do you at least like the modern offerings? They all handle and brake
well too besides going fast.

convertible(probably

less than 500 remain in the world).  I looked for 20 years for this car

because I think it has nearly as pretty lines as my 85 308, however the

interior is more "Euro Sports Car" with levers, etc and which is why I
bought the 308 and not the 328.

According to latest muscle car auction results the Firebird is worth 

around

$65k - more than my 308.   Interestingly, I bought my 308 from a car
collector in St. Louis, who had huge garage filled with................
American classic/muscle cars......   and one Ferrari 308.  There are many

more people in the US with a taste for Bud and muscle, than there are

many

more people in the US with a taste for Bud and muscle, than there are 

craft

beer and Ferrari's, thus more demand and more $$ chasing Bud and muscle.

Stupid money

For stupid cars

I sorta agree/disagree....

Muscle cars are great, but I never could rationalize them being worth

megabucks. I guess we could dismiss them as one trick ponies, but then 

maybe

we could do the same for vintage 250 series Ferraris that couldn't 

handle or

brake much better.

So we're putting on our red colored glasses and showing a bias for 

exotics

over muscle -- which I fully endorse. Just look at a 250 SWB or 275
GTB....gorgeous and much classier looking interior.

Now a Cuda, Chevelle, Pontiac GTO are nice looking too in that muscle 

way

but not the same.

So I'm ok with "elite" muscle going for 100-200k perhaps, but this

$500k-$1M+ is insane. IIRC there may have been a $2 or $3M Cuda 

sold....an

extremely rare 1 of 5, convertible with manual, etc. Silly.
Like the 250 GTO version of muscle.

The good news for muscle is that you can get more or less the same cars 

for

a whole lot less if you're not obsessed with #s matching crap, original 

this

and that. There's no real stigma to doing modifications and what not to
these cars so long as you don't take them to the big auction houses.

I believe one could get a "normal" muscle car for $50-60k these days 

(less

probably) and do what they want.  A far cry for a vintage Ferrari.
