By hisham50 [Affiliate User] 1192354617 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveWhen the Enzo came out it was only $600k, not 1 million. They cost that much now cuz they only made 400, and only 399 were ever sold.
By bigpyoopypants [Affiliate User] 1192316835 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveWho? The guy on the show hates the gallardo. My guess is that he's driveing a 355 or a 430 as we speak.
By bigpyoopypants [Affiliate User] 1192316693 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removeyou are in lala land if you beleve that Ferrari spent less money to build each enzo than ford spent to build each gt.
The GT has an MSRP of $125-150k, while the enzo is in the range of $600-700k. where do you think all that money went? the Ferrari is hand crafted to higher tolerances than the ford, and has more engine and suspension technology. All of that costs money, which is why the enzo is four times more expensive than the gt.
and so that extra money is buying the hand craftsmanship, which leads to a better car- which means that more money buys a better car- what a shock!!!
By TempestV [Affiliate User] 1192128261 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveFord in total probably spent more money making the GT than Ferrari did with the Enzo (not that I'm saying that the Enzo was made cheap) and if they didn't then thats sad.
By hisham50 [Affiliate User] 1192106398 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveYou obviously don't get what I mean when I say Ferrari is a small company. Ferrari, being a small company, has to spend more money to build something than Ford, which being a big company does. Thats the reason Ferrari and other exotics are so expensive. The upside is that every Ferrari is tended to individually rather than a machine building it.
By hisham50 [Affiliate User] 1192106390 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removelets see- R&T came up with a draw- the American cars winning some and the European cars winning some. Then they also note that the European cars cost more. They state that the F430 was the clear winner of the European cars, not the overall best- as they put it, "There's no clear winner." When you consider the price difference, and the fact that the American cars are cheaper, that's kind of sad.
By TempestV [Affiliate User] 1192071023 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removemaybe you can explain how the gt's msrp of $125-150K are equal to the F430's at $175-200k?
the F430 is a considerably more expensive vehicle.
The Enzo had an asking price upwards to a million dollars, so Ferrari had more to invest in building it.
And if you read R&T's article with the F430, 911, Gallardo, Z06, Viper and the GT, you will see that the GT was man-handled by the Euro cars and was even beaten by the Corvette and the Viper. The F430 outclassed the whole field. All this info comes from your source BTW.
By hisham50 [Affiliate User] 1192069572 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveHe bought it, it broke down a million times and guess what he drives now? Oh, a Gallardo spyder.
By hisham50 [Affiliate User] 1192069415 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveActually the GT is pretty much on par with the F430 in price. I'm not talking about the Enzo, because the Ford just doesn't compare to it. And chances are that more money was spent of the GT than the Enzo. Ferrari is a small company while Ford is one of the biggest in the world. Even if Ford was tight with its money, hundreds of millions probably went into the GT project. And the results are good, because I like the car.
By hisham50 [Affiliate User] 1192069383 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveMy source supposably came from road and track, but even by your source it still kills the Gallardo.
Also, keep in mind that the F430 is $25-50k more than the GT.
and here we have a perfect example of a stuck up asshole- whether you like the looks of a car or not is your opinion, so it's kind of stupid to call someone an Idiot over their opinion of what looks better. Personally, I like both of them, they are both top tier cars in the looks department.
as for performance, if the F60 was slower, the designers should be shot, considering how much more money they had to play with.
Ok, Apples to apples, the Ford kills the Ferrari. And I beleve Prophet was talking about the F60, which, yes it is a million dollar car.
By TempestV [Affiliate User] 1192044764 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveThen he bought a new one. Goes to show that it might not be as bad as you would make it out to be.
as for the long wait and price changes, that happens all the time on limited production super cars.
The Ford GT does 205, the Gallardo does 195...how is that a 30 mph difference. The Gallardo's 0-60 is 4.0 secs while the GT does it in 3.5-3.6. Thats not a full second. Get your figures straight.
The Ford GT competitor is the F430 and the F430 is a much better car to drive. It revs higher, is way more exciting and much more engaging than the GT. Speedwise, they can both be argued to be faster as I have seen mags which did faster times with one over the other.
Yep, it's more than just a car, it's a badge. This car can handle with the best of them.
By TempestV [Affiliate User] 1192043910 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removeyou do realize that the Gallardo is 30mph slower top speed and a full second slower 0-60?
By TempestV [Affiliate User] 1192043701 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveUh you do realize that you are talking about the original GT-40, not the modern GT which was mostly designed in America, and carries a lightning engine?
By TempestV [Affiliate User] 1192043489 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removethe front suspension was done by lotus, the rear was done by Ford.
By TempestV [Affiliate User] 1192042939 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removethe enzo looks better than the GT? please c'mon you're fuckin' retarded to say that...the enzo is ugly as hell...
By popoyeli [Affiliate User] 1191964513 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveYou're quite the idiot (and blind too) and you're saying that a Ford GT looks better than an Enzo...ladies and gentleman we have ourselves a typical Yank.
