Guess I'll post my ricer pics now. It was fun building. The interior isn't done yet, so no pics of that (nor the enginebay). :)

TeenGodFather... what is... or was that?

Waited over 2 and 1/2 years on the waiting list for this new badboy and it finally came in a couple of weeks ago...

Why does it take 2.5 years to get a silver Ferarri?
|
JeffreyG: Congratulations on the new ride. It does look very sharp. Nice pictures also. Make sure to take lots more, the more the merrier (if that is spelled that way).

i see a white 300zx in the back of your picture also Mike AI
i drive a 93 300zx :) |
Ok, you guys might laugh, but them Ford Probes go like hell. I had (have but not driving) one? a GT. Just has an aftermarket exhaust system with headers. Not sure how much HP but here are the stock specs.
2.5 l. DOHC V6- 164 hp @5600 rpm / 156 lbs.-ft lbs. tq @4000 rpm (GT) Ah well. Nothing fancy but those are nice cars. |
drunkdollars - Because there is a lot more demand than there is production, so there is a long waiting list to get most Ferraris brand new. The 360 Spider (convertible) waiting list is so long that most USA dealerships stopped taking names 1-2 years ago.
Validus - Thanks, will do. |
JeffreyG, I notice a few F50 pics in your directory... please post a few other pics you have that are cool.

Validus I almost bought a ford probe when i got out of school... a really cool black one that had special rims and extra turbo thing.. i was young so i didn't pay attention.. i ended up getting an acura integra instead... Ford Probe was the same as the older mazda 626 before they made that model a sedan... my family had a 626 turbo and it was awesome... very fast.. especially going up hill ...
I traded in that Acura Integra which by all means was a great little car that I loved.. for my new Z06... and am sooooo glad I did... :thumbsup |

Ferraris are not like typical cars when it comes to resale, nor is any other car with a long waiting list. For instance, those lucky enough to get a brand new 360 Spider right now will pay about $190k, depending on the options. Buying a used one will run you $225k - $250k, depending on the miles, year, etc... |

http://slashdot.org/interviews/99/10/15/1012230.shtml You'll have to let me know how you like your Modena. It is my new favorite car in terms of cars I may actually buy one day. I would definitely purchase one over anything else in its price range. |

I absolutely love the 360. My previous car was a 6 speed 355 Spider. The 360 blows it away. Although it only has 25 more horses, it feels much faster & more powerful. Plus it sounds better too because I had a TUBI exhaust put on it before I took delivery. If you get a 360, I strongly recommend a TUBI. It makes it sound like an F-16. |

I found this videos today. It will be interesting to you to see how M3 beats the 360 Modena on highway:) BMW M3 vs. Ferrari 360 Modena. http://66.230.150.52/modena.mpeg And another one BMW M3 vs. Porsche 996 Turbo http://66.230.150.52/turbo.mpeg The Ferrari is awesome car in any aspect. It's typical exotic car. For example the SL 55 is more powerful than the Ferrari, it's convertable, it's very nice looking car but it is still Mercedes like the S class, E class and C class. When it comes to exotic cars there are only 4 brands for me: Ferrari, Lambo, Porsche and Aston Martin. |
no pics yet, but i have a 2003 jeep wrangler "rubicon". its almost all sotck still, havent had the cash to dump into it like i had hoped. maybe here in a couple months. :)

I also own a 2002 M3 convertible. Here are some pics - http://www.eentinc.com/m3/ Trust me, my 360 will smoke my M3. The M3 is a very fast car and fun to drive, no doubt about it, but it doesn't compare to the 360 as an overall driving experience. My previous Ferrari (the yellow 355 in the pics) was comparable in speed to the M3, only being a little faster, but the 360 is faster than both. In March of 2002 I put a deposit on an SL55 AMG. They called me about 2 months ago and said "your car is here if you want it". I told them I changed my mind and asked that they refund my deposit. It would have cost $130-140k, which to me isn't worth it. It looks way too much like the SL500, with the only exterior differences being very minor, such as 4 exhaust pipes instead of 2, etc... If I'm gonna spend that kind of money on a car, I want exclusivity, which you get in any Ferrari. Nothing against the SL55, it's a great car, but just not for me and what I like. I'm gonna get to test drive a 575 Maranello on Thursday. I've been wanting to drive that for a long time, so I can't wait. |

I had 996 C4 Convertable which I sold few months ago and bought the new SL 500. The SL is an awesome car. Althoght the SL 55 is a great car and it beats the new Lambo on the 0-300km/h test I compleatly understand you that It's not worth it. It's not only the engine that makes the car. I'm sure you will have fun driving the 575. It's much better than the 360 and more powerful. |

25K on a McLaren F1... sweet. There was one in the Gumball 3000, so that's 3k right there! Re: 360 vs. 355... I think it's funny that some guys still like the 355 better than the 360, even in looks. The Modena blows me away. I know it's one of the lower end Ferraris, but it looks so much better than any of the 500s, IMO. |

Now that i've looked at both, I truly love the 360, its so.. I don't like the plastic in the 360.. But still.. It takes all. BTW.. Carmack = IDKFA For Life:) |

A lot of people like the 355 better than the 360. To me it's no comparison, but then again, I've been staring at a 355 everyday for 2+ years, so when the 360 finally came in, it blew me away. If it were the other way around, I'm sure it would have been the same for the 355. Are you considering getting a Ferrari or Lambo anytime this year? If so, which are you most likely to get? I saw a Diablo 6.0 pull up to a bar I was at recently. That thing was awesome. Prices on them are falling fast these days because of the Murcielago coming out, as well as the Gallardo coming out later this year. Prices on the 355s are also falling very fast these days, so you can get one at a very good price. |

Here's my Mexican built American ricer. Before you bash my little car just think what could potentially be under that hood :evil-laug |

I know that Steve Goldman from Goldman & Sachs got the first Enzo in LA As far as I'm concern, I'm looking at a 2001 Diablo with a sweet lease deal. |

actually i think he installed the optional "dual hamster wheel" instead of the stock single. actually, it probably has the "ztek" 2.0, like the ZX2. ahahaha, zx3. glad they redesigned those dumb cars this year. heh, you can get a zx2 with leather, but NOT a focus... fucking wierd. |

it appears 6-cylinder-ish. i'd post current pics of my camaro, but it's a very sad car right now :( maybe i should post some happy early pictures :) |
Quote:
If you don't mind me asking, what are the specs on the Diablo you're looking at? Year, miles, etc...? I'm very familiar with prices of other cars for sale and can let you know if I've seen better. IMO, it's not a good idea to lease cars like this. They hold their value well enough to buy it, take care of it, then resell it for a small loss. If you get a good enough deal, you can get away with owning a Ferrari for about $1k - $1200 per month, which is cheaper than some Benzs. What really screws you is sales tax, but there's obviously just no way around that. |
