Rob, ok!
I am with you on the manual trans vintage cars.
Sometimes you need to go really fast with a stopwatch nearby… On Nov 9, 2021, at 23:17, Robert W. Garven Jr. <rgarven [at] gmail.com> wrote:
Lash I realize all that. I’m gonna go out on a limb here and piss everyone off. I still think any car without a gear lever is for pussies! Ha
If I had unlimited funds I would probably spend the majority of it on older cars Daytonas, boxers, Lusso‘s, muiras, etc.

Rob, they went REAR mid engine and flat plane for sales numbers only.
Their FRONT mid engine car with pushrods had been out performing its rivals since the 80s.
A downgrade technically but they will gain a larger market share now.
A shame…

I think it’s nice to but you also have to recognize it basically it took them 40 years to copy a Ferrari design mid engine flat crank etc. Sent from my iPhone On Nov 9, 2021, at 10:17 AM, Lashdeep Singh via Ferrari <ferrari [at] ferrarilist.com> wrote:
Yes indeed.
Truly impressive…
I really like the Z06 body enhancements too. It all works well. On Nov 9, 2021, at 08:39, Anthony Bauco <tbauco [at] gmail.com> wrote:
It really is. A somewhat close comparison is the F430. This car has 39% more HP even though it only has 28% more displacement. It revs at 8600 RPM versus 8500 RPM. It has a 7 speed dual clutch tranny versus 6 speed. It has a 0-60 of 2.6s versus 3.6s and an identical top speed. But the F430 was nearly $190k in 2005 and this will only be around $90k. In 2021 money, the F430 was over $260k, nearly 3X more. Even a low mileage used F430 today will cost $130k.
To get a car that you can argue is better performing you have to go up to at least the 458. But that was $225k in 2010 or $280k in today's money.
