Default Re: $25K(ZR-1) Vs $250K (F430) Experience?

Most of my Ferrari experience was "limited" to an entire day of fun in a 308GTS in Germany both around town and on the Autobahn. It was great fun. I was afraid of going above 165. (It had more left). It sounded great. I enjoyed the attention it brought. But it was a fun "experience." Not a car I could live with. It was a bit of a disaster to drive around town. I was also driving a friend's 911 at the time and it was a much more enjoyable car. Still plenty fast, good style and a breeze in every day driving. So for our ZR-1s...I flat out love the engine, I find it very comfortable, a fine road GT and I love looking at those fat-*** tires out back. Most fun for the buck ever.

On the most important comparison point - not having my wife go off the deep end when I bring home a third car.... there is no comparison!

Ya know...I JUST had mine out for a short blast at lunchtime...it'sw lightly modded with ~400RWHP...and it is still a rush...esp with the loud aZZ exhaust and the on ramps are so much fun. I ALMOST made it to work this morning not driving over 80...I got within a 1/2 mile of my off ramp and I couldn't stand it any longer....I dropped her to 3rd and hit the friggin hammer...the exit came up pretty quickly! Good thing one of my mods was the C5 brakes! I think you will find a nicely modded ZR-1 is a helluva lot of fun and hard to live without once you get one! Good luck in your search for your BEAST!
