Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Miura vs. 250 GTO

Hilarious story Rick!!

My biggest beef with the Lambo homer is this lifelong insecurity with everything Ferrari. It's almost as if the company would close down if Ferrari went out of business. 

The reverse bias is more of an elitist aloof air of disregard "oh cute little lambo try hard". Which I think is unfair in many cases but less obnoxious than the brash frat boy approach.

Balboni is probably less of a homer behind the scenes than most Lambo guys. Lol

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
