A Ferrari like the one in the picture costs $250,000. a Mustang GT is around $25,000.
You can buy 10 Mustangs for the price of one Ferrari.
Ah, see I'm in marketing, not good at math ;o)
And yes, I'll have 1 Ferrari over 10 Fords, since I can only drive one car at a time.

Quite frankly, i would not. Ferrari's spend a lot of time in the shop, I would be petrified to leave it anywhere. The cost of repair or replacement is through the roof, I like to buy American, where are you going to drive 175 miles per hour?, does not have a trunk, does not have a back seat, does not have a radio, huge sales tax, luxury tax, huge insurance.
10 Ford Mustang GT's? Keep 2, get rid of 8. Buy a Hummer SUT, Harley Davidson, a nice used boat, and still have about 60k left over!
Well, a Ferrari is a car I wouldn't park, I'd drive it. And if I could afford a car like that, I could afford the mechanic to go with it as well. Ever since I got the chance to take a Testarossa around a race track, I've wanted one for myself. I've driven muscle cars, but nothing compares, in my mind.
The new 430 which comes out next year would do nicely :o)
The Testarossa Convt. is still to me one of the coolest cars ever designed. Those side flares just are incredible!
It's a small world. I'll give ya a friendly "W" sign next time I see your vehicle.
Oh, and before I forget, for the record, a Corvette is still only a Chevy!! ;o)

I'll stick with my '65 red GT convertible. I'd post a picture but I'm not at my home computer. The 65 & 66's were the best looking 'stangs to me at least. Mine is the only Ford I'd drive. I'm more of a Chevy person, but i've always like the '65 'stang and mine was good enough to knock me off my feet & that's saying a lot.
The new 2007 Mustang Cobra will have a supercharged 5.4L 500hp engine. Enthusiasts like myself will have it modded up to 600-800hp for a streetable car and 900+ for the drag strip. The modular engine still has plenty of life in it yet.
