@dogisbadob pretty much, although it's lighter and has a shorter wheelbase so it is a more sporting car than the later versions.

@WasGTIthenGTOthenNOVAthenGTInowA4 The Daytona has stayed in the family through both of the big boom periods in classic cars (inflation adjusted the insurance value in 1987 was higher than it is now). It's not going anywhere 🙂

I would say the ones on BaT tend to be at the lower end of the market though. Really good ones will sell privately (and off market) for more.

@Just-Jeepin McLaren, BMW, Mazda and Ferrari 308 plz

@pip-bip

That's my kind of picture!

@pip-bip

Gib green pls. Thx.

@chan I did find a custom floor mat website that supports your size/style if you wanted to get replacements! I agree it's a bit uhh big, but I don't really hate it. Should a Ferrari be understated?

@Hamster-V10 if i'm not mistaken that's technically the wrong model. lowrey had a 550, this is a 575.

edit: we're both right. they used both cars in the movie for some reason.

@drVanTraveler interesting in the U.K. the XE seemed to come with a quite a confusing choice of specs with either a standard or R dynamic body style and either body style had S, SE or HSE trim packages. All of that with a choice of three engines a diesel four plus a petrol four in two horsepower tunes. However when you dug into it the base S package came with everything you might need so the SE and HSE were not really worth the upgrade. I ended up buying an S R Dynamic with the Diesel engine. I wanted a petrol but the dealer couldn’t get me a petrol when I wanted it.

@Nauraushaun enjoy.

@Hamster-V10 isn't that something like "venti, grande, chunki"? I dunno I went to Starbucks once and was confused and got a $8.00 burnt coffee. haven't been back since...

@ibRAD it’s louder but I’ll need to drive it more to fully grasp the difference.

Part of the problem is there’s so much power that I’m scared to floor it.

Wife leaves the top down pretty much all the time, but she does park the car in the garage (there's lot of nights we forget to close the garage door, and also the front door). My truck and car are parked in the shop or outside, both unlocked. Rural living has it's advantages.

@ttyymmnn

Yep. It helps, and yet I still miss stuff when I am rushing through these smaller builds. I am very careful on the big builds because many times it is very difficult to go back and add or correct a piece after you are 150 steps past it.

@SilentbutnotreallyDeadly Considering the financial state of most people these days with rampant inflation and rising prices, It's the far more sensible choice 😞

@Plymouth-Superbird-2nd The Lambo looks a little overdone, a Fiero with a bad body kit, the earlier ones were nicer. The Ferrari, once again, would prefer an earlier 512 TR.

Plymouth Superbird an option?

Still tied, I'm not going to be the one to disturb the split decision.

@chan it is wild. I always thought it was regulation to blame, but the fire-spitting sounds of new performance cars proves that isn’t the case.

@pip-bip maybe the bit painted orange in the rear if I'm being particularly picky

@pip-bip It's surprising that I haven't. I like fire.

@pip-bip This picture makes me feel funny in my pants... damn. alt text

@Trekkster__T

Your photos are fantastic.

@pip-bip
Funny way to go camping...

@pip-bip Night

@ClassicDatsunDebate Yeah I didn't realise that Graziano built the F1 system but yes, that's what my car has.

@Hamster-V10 Are we gonna ignore the fact that Ferrari has more models then Skoda does.

@Hamster-V10 great photos as always!

@Nick-Hynds meh

@pip-bip Gorgeous. One of my dream cars.

@Genesis_Haysenhox Yes. I can't remember if it was here or in the old site, but I posted a yellow one I spotted around town a while back.

@Hamster-V10
That reminds of the ridiculous Cobalt vs. Corvette sibling rivalry commercial that Chevy did years back to advertise the Cobalt.

@Armith-Vala who cares if people hate you for it, that's on them

@pip-bip Night

Ferrari sells too much swag for me to like their swag, but I would prefer the ones without the obnoxiously yellow logos.

@Longtime-Lurker that’s awesome! I do this for all my cars

@davesaddiction yes, GIB!

@StreetsofPerth
The driving roads of the Adelaide Hills and My Lofty Ranges and (by extension) the Fleurieu Peninsula, Barossa Valley and Lower Flinders Ranges are just minutes from the CBD.

@chan 456

@pip-bip This is infinitely more appealing in a color other then red

@ttyymmnn to go with the big egos of italians 😛

@FractalFootwork its like a sportier alfa 4c.

@Nick-Hynds Haha, the inbetweener looks happy and sad at the same time

@chan
Resistors usually increase in resistance as they start to fail. It's most common for them to fail open. These look like metal film resistors. There is a spiral of metal film around a ceramic core. The windings on that spiral can thin out over time, increasing the resistance. The thin area will then heat up more, eventually opening completely.

@Future-Next-Gen-S2000-Owner The F355 is the sort of car that if it wasn't in your childhood dreams, don't bother. To some extent, it's also true of Ferraris and Italian cars in general.

If you want a sports car that is objectively "good" and feels well-designed and well-built by any standard, there is No Substitute (Porsche--have owned a 987).

The Italians go heavy on certain things, at the cost of everything else. But where they go heavy, they do it so right.

@jminer You’ve just given me a good idea…I should revive some old F355 stories. This would be a picnic in comparison!

@Nick-Hynds this is more interesting than polls.

man, zonda on ice is something else. shame it may as well be getting towed for all the power it's not using.
link to zonda barchetta:

do you know where in the vid the Zonda C12 is? would like to see that, couldn't find it with a scroll though

@pip-bip That's amazing.

@mercedes_500e_w124 I wish I could buy one now, because you know they'll only go up in value. I know 5 years ago you could get one for 30k grand, Which is impressive because they were like 40k new, a car only loosing 25% of its value over 10 years is pretty good, but now 45k is "cheap".
It is funny that by the nature of the car, 40-50,0000 miles is a "high mileage" example

@chan said in Early Driving Impressions - V12 Edition:

At least this one is so low-key that my in-laws walked right by without noticing.

That's pretty funny...

Hope titling/registering goes OK!

@relic That's quite the sacrifice, I'm not sure it was worth it considering how few were built

@cash-rewards Santander is back as title sponsor so no more weird Phillip Morris workaround ads

@phenotyp exactly
