  1. Thanks John great cars, so sorry for your loss.
  2. OMG wasn't the original P4/5 a Ferrari. LOL
  3. Awful, this just ruined my morning.
  4. They Dyno tested all the cars so it's not like Ferrari could cheat. The Dyno shows it's making the power they claim so the numbers are what they are

  7. Never had a problem with my 430, had it 2 years.
  8. A used X5M would be my vote as well, I love mine.
  9. IMO too heavy, too expensive and not fast enough. I would never buy one with the Enzo and Mclaren F1 successors bringing far more fire power and less weight at about the same money.
  10. Actual selling price right around MSRP for low mileage 2010's and slightly over MSRP for low mileage 2011's.
  11. I still think they're ugly, I saw one in MOntreal and just can't get past its looks. They have a kit car look to them.
  12. I think Roy uses Pirelli Sotto Zeros
  13. Allan that car looks great best of luck with it. I wouldn't change a thing.
  14. I use an X5M as my daily driver, and I absolutely love it. I've had 2 Cayenne Turbos and I like the X5M much better. Here's mine
  15. I used them on my 997 Turbo and they are great in snow and ice. I live in Pennsylvania and your car will only be limited by ground clearance not traction from the tires.

  18. #1 Today, 09:35 AM 458 Italia vs McLaren MP4 Blighty - The UK press decides -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Today I found 3 new editions of car magazines here in Jersey (Channel Islands) with the long-awaited head-to-head tests of the McLaren and 458. I was utterly astonished to see the result: 458 - McLaren 3 - 0 In the UK press! We can be safe to say that the UK is (rightly) proud of McLaren's achievement and I, for one, am convinced that there has been a bias in the UK reviews like you would expect an Italian magazine to have for the Ferrari. Nonetheless, the 3 magazines (AutoExpress, AutoCar and TopGear) each came to the same conclusion: The McLaren is the technically superior, and slightly faster car. But it lacks soul. The Ferrari is fun below 60mph, the McLaren needs very high speeds to feel really special. Now I could have told them that before the test, but it is very cool to see 3 reviews come to that same conclusion. All three said the cars were very close in all respects. The TopGear review was fun - they tested on the Isle of Man with the 2011 TT bike race winner, and since there are no speed limits on Isle of Man.... Conclusion for all three: given the choice, the 458 please! Hats off to Ron for his achievement, but it's not so easy to engineer passion into a car, is it?
  19. As of now, the 458 is better looking in my opinion, but the Mclaren will undoubtedly be better from a speed and mod standpoint +1
  20. Slowpoke you don't like my posts don't read them
