You guys are forgetting that there are other car manufacturers out there, what about a 1967 Jaguar E-type convertible, a Lambo Miura, pre WWII Maserati's, and Alfa Romeo's, even today the sexiest car without a doubt would have to be the Aston Martin DB9, too bad it doesn't drive as well as the 575M, but that is another story all together. At least tigerx can think outside of the Ferrari box.

People think that owning a Ferrari is as simple as driving one, wrong you , first of all the insurance on a newer Ferrari is at least $10,000 CDN, then you have the annual checkups which come to about $5,000 CDN, at then there are the oil changes which are around $500 CDN each, and if anything was to go wrong with a Ferrari, which something always does, then you are into major money. When I took my Porshce into have an oil change it was $200 CDN and that was for an older model, not a new one that requires synthetic oil.

I love Ferrari's and I love driving them but when you buy one be prepared for something to go wrong with it and you cannot bitch about the price because you should have known that going into the purchase, but saying that I cannot wait until the time in 2-3 years when I can buy a 288 GTO or F40, if all goes according to plan anyhow.

TVR Tuscan S. It's more a work of art than a car, really.

The For GT40, yeh maybe i am a bit sad but it was the car that dominated leMans for 4 years so the GT40 wins for me
