Ask Massa or Barrichello what they think... *sneeer*

 

Ferrari, like Ducati is a marketing MACHINE! They build great things but market them EVEN BETTER! FORZA ITALIA! haha

 

Will this story convert people to Lamborghini?

 

Doubt it. Sadly the majority of F-car owners are too pompous to care. I'm in disbelief everytime I drive by a Ferrari in the Gallardo. I've never seen a ferrari driver smile, always nose-high. It gets to the extreme that you'll be in traffic downtown, stationary literally right next to a 360 or 430 spyder telling them "nice car" and they won't even answer you or even turn their head to acknoledge you. Seriously?

Always thrilled to meet Fcar owners that appear human and like cars, because they're an exception. Fortunately the online community seems a lot more lively. Guess the snobby ones don't go online.

 

Ludas, you're really comparing two different times from two different days from two different drivers? Yes, Horst Von Saurma is an awesome driver, but there are so many varying factors that the times could never be consistent. Plus, Walter more than likely aided in the development of the GT2 RS, so he knows exactly what he's doing. I bet the GT2 RS is even capable of 7:16 if the conditions were absolutely ideal.

 

What a thread revival!

Long story short, Ferrari tunes up their press cars a bit and gives them off to journalists to yield better results.

Some don't care, and think its a great car, some think Ferrari is juvenile for doing this, and would rather buy other cars.
