I probly wouldn't only because if I have high anxiety parking my camaro anywhere, parking one of these would for sure put me in an early grave!

Euro super cars are badass but if I had the cash to burn I really think I'd just stick with the Camaro but it would be modded to no end. Just love the American muscle.

How about one like this ?

CamaroJoe96 04-07-2013 08:03 PM

Haha im sure any camaro owner would! I only posted this with this 95 Ferarri because it's so old! Still a tough choice!

FL1CK 04-07-2013 08:04 PM

Nope to any of them, I can barely get out of the Camaro... let alone be sitting on the asphalt in that car!

Frid 04-07-2013 08:29 PM

Only car I would trade mine in for would be a Corvette :thumb:

Sure if the girl came with it.

Cam2011 04-07-2013 09:06 PM

In a heartbeat, then I'd sell it and buy a ZL1.

Denis 04-07-2013 09:08 PM

for a 355 spyder? yes...yellow please

OHIOSS 04-07-2013 09:11 PM

I wouldn't because I don't have a baby, it's a car, and it also doesn't have a name.

Yes, I would trade any Camaro for any Ferrari. Whether you are willing to admit it or not, they are simply better built vehicles, works of art! And don't bash the older models, anyone who does has no class. Even the sound of a low compression V8 from the 308 sounds better than all V6 Camaros and many V8s! They are amazing, and the 355 you have in the picture is one of Jeremy Clarckson's favorite cars of all time for a reason! Pick any Ferrari and any Camaro, and I'll prove to you it's better (if I'm not too lazy) with a few exceptions! Oh and, :needpics:

So...

Are you sure about her , looks like a heigh mantinance specimen
Besides , her choice of shoes, is way in the rear view mirror , insurance for her ankles alone would cost a fortune .

Uhhh yes please. I like the older Ferrari models. The Testarossa is a dream car of mine. Id own one now if I could drive it reliably on a daily basis. But with those cars, they practically need a re-build every 10,000 miles. And its not cheap! An old Ferrari costs $3.00 a mile (maintenance). The newer ones are cheaper to maintain. Im a member on the Ferrari forums lol.

This factory Testarossa is pure art.

This Koenig Testarossa is pure sex.

You are completely wrong! I know of a 82 308 GTSi with 82000 miles on it that has yet to have a clutch replaced (Yes Original Clutch!) nor major service done to it by a dealer. CV joints still in tact and the 3 liter V8 still pulls hard. These cars can be just as reliable as a Camry, but you hear so many stories because people don't know how to care for a car. Re-builds aren't the case for ever F over 2 decades old. That being said, glad to meet another Ferrari connoisseur :thumbup:

That 2nd pic looks like a Nissan ZX thing! Who would commit such a crime with that body kit?

2010 SSRS 04-07-2013 09:28 PM

only trade I would make would be for a ZL1 or a New Z/28

Aubrey64 04-07-2013 09:46 PM

Probably not, I love ferraris no matter what year they are and I think they are works of art and I hope to own one one day, but I am too attached to my Camaro. And you can buy a 90's ferrari for semi-reasnable prices nowadays.

Neither not a big ferrari dude to begin with, and I'm married !!:nod: So I'll stick with my camaro:cool::sm0:

Hellfighter 04-07-2013 09:59 PM

camaro all day, if i had more money ill take both.

Obzen 04-07-2013 09:59 PM

I wouldn't want to do maintenance on an 18 year old Ferrari. If it was a fantasy world where i'd never have to maintain either car......yeah would take the Ferrari.

Scooter11 04-07-2013 10:00 PM

Out of curiosity, has everyone who is saying Camaro over Ferrari driven or been driven in one?

Not really, its a grey area honestly, too broad a statement. That does hold some truth though...

Sebastian 04-08-2013 03:06 AM

if it would be an Enzo i would take it, sell it buy 3 camaros ( convertible, ZL1 and SS)...
