Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Miura vs. 250 GTO

[Rick Moseley (ramosel]

In today's world, it may be a waste of time to explain anything to a millennial...   There are a few exceptions out there but most have had their minds rotted by those in the ivory tower.

But....

When I have these conversations I go to racing.  Point out how many Ferraris have won how many races and that the only way Lambos win any race is when they have their own series.

side note:  Many years ago at Concorso Italiano (when it was still at Quail) Lambo had a huge presence as they were unveiling a new cabriolet something.   I walked over and watched as they pulled the cover off and "Meh".   The rather obnoxious Lambo guy spent 10 minutes extolling the virtues of this car then looked off to the sea of Ferraris and asked.  Does anyone know what Ferrari means in Italian?  ...silence.   Then in a rather whiny voice he said "Oh, I wish I had bought a Lamborghini!".   Then he asked in a very manly voice "Does anyone know what Lamborghini means in Italian" and before he could utter a word an older Gent standing next to Mario (who was raffling his Lambo that weekend) said very loudly and imitating the same whiny voice "Oh, I wish I could win a race!"   The crowd erupted in laughter and the pitch guy turned red as the Ferraris he was trying to put down.

Subject: [Ferrari] Miura vs. 250 GTO

Is it a waste of time trying to explain to a 25 year old enthusiast why a 250 GTO is better than a Miura if he is inclined to think the opposite?

FWIW I'm not sure a Miura is better than a Daytona even if it looks nicer.

Discuss. :D
