Red


Yellow


Black


Blue


Green


Silver


I'm partial to the blue, I think that's why I'm getting IBM if I get a hardtop camaro.

Well I've seen plenty of Ferraris and all of them in red or yellow, I've never seen any of the other colors in person.

If you can afford the maintenance on the Ferrari, then go for it. But, imagine that loaded 2SS!

I've driven the 348ts before... if you've got $44k to spend, why not get a C6 Z06 instead?

like this one, for instance:

Aren't you wondering why they sell ferrari's for so little??

I know the cars are clones, the ones I mentioned but they are the only cars I would pay over the 100,000, ZR1's nice but I like the Zo6 better


LS7 baby

yea, at $5-$6K for an oil change every 2,000 miles and another $10-$12K for a tune-up every 10,000 or so, you can keep your Ferrari. I'd say get a slightly used Z06 or something.

Plus that Ferrari is almost 20 years old! You're gonna spend double your initial purchase price in the first year.

If you are single and still playing the field, Ferrari get's you into a whole other level of babe. Will the woman be shallow? Absolutely. Will she be a knockout? Absolutely

I didn't read through the responses, so I apologize if I'm repeating someone;

I love Ferrari's, but unless you've got $$$ for repairs/maintenance, GO WITH THE SS!

Also, the Camaro is much more practical.

Ferrari will give you that momentary WOW factor, then will be old news when you get tired of worrying about it every time you park it. You think that new SS will stick out like a sore thumb - drive one of the 800 or so Ferraris in the COUNTRY and see how much you stick out in traffic. Yeah it's cool, beautiful lines and a wonderful car...but when you stick out like that, some A$$*ole is going to screw with you.

Plus the maintenance and parts issues are going to suck...but that was said before.

Unless you live with a Millionaire named Higgins, I would not go for the Red Ferrari. You will not only save a fortune with the SS, you will have more fun driving it as it is a far superior machine..

The Cyber Grey SS with black stripes is exactly what I'll be getting. However my black stripes will be painted and they will go over the hood slit.. This will be a much better looking car than the Ferrari in my opinion and give you far more power and fun...
