I'm gonna buy my first 20Mil Car...
Don't wanna waste it though...

Actually I am torn between P4 and the 20Mil Ford...
BUT I think I'm gonna give my "First" 20Mil on P4...
... Because it's a "Ferrari"...

I hope P4 Owners would give me insights regarding:

1. Handling
2. PP after FULL tuning
3. Can we change its color?.. wheels colorable? and are they Changable?
4. What's the HP aftr full tuning...

In your honest Opinions, How is it compared to the 20Mil Ford?

Thank you in Advance!
 
I must tell you first and foremost, the car is from 1967. That means limited downforce, and grip. Its a smashing car but it kinda slides everywhere. Its excellant but like I said it slides everywhere. You need to react fast to control it. You can't change the colour of body or wheels
 
The ferrari way better, the ford is much more angry , slides every where , plus , the ferrari is much faster. but i suggest you get it as a trade...
 
I can't appreciate the true value of the 330 P4 as i woke up one day and said "Today I will win the Indy 500 twice and a load of other races so I reach level 30. Then tomorrow I will bronze the X Vettel Challenge." I did all of these things and then the day after was my birthday. But back to the original point. I turned on GT5 that day and got a message saying that my m8 had sent me a 330 P4 without me saying anything at all. I didnt now he had one. Then he put in the message that he "Had one spare and sent it to me"

That's a beautiful (if slightly odd) story. Thank you for sharing.

I'm still struggling to see where your answer is though...

@OP: If you're hoping for a max-performance car I think it will disappoint you. You'd be better off buying the GT40 MkIV and getting the P330 later on. It is what it is - and that's what you should love it for.

If you have a USB memory stick then my advice would be to copy your GT5 save to it (which you should be doing anyway to protect from game save corruption) so you can buy one of the cars to try out before copying the save back from the USB stick to the PS3 and buying the other car so you can make your mind up for yourself. These 2 cars and the Jag XJ13 are all stunning but it is personal preference which is best.
 
If you have to compare between the 2 classic cars:
Get the Ford GT40 Race car '69 then the Ferrari 330 P4.
Going back in time it's history is a rare achievement - It won the Le Mans in 1968 and 1969 which Ferrari long dominated and of course the 330 P4 was defeated on those years. Ford wanted to buy Ferrari in 1963 but the latter did not want to sell its prestigious name so Ford build the GT40 (as it measured 40inches from ground to roof)
But that was then and today it's a different story. I would choose any modern Ferrari than a Ford (US). The 1960's are probably the "best looking" cars. Great designers back then.

ps. hey, you can still have both cars in your garage and still have your hard earned 20 mill.
just pm.
 
Thank you each and everyone who cared to stopped, took the time to read and cared to left a feedback!!!

I am happy to say that I spent my first 20,000,000 on the 330 P4... Wheeee!!!

I'm "Totally Broke"... but I'm Happy with the Ferrari.

At the meantime, I test ran it on "Arcade Mode".
Without any tune to start with meaning it all "Stock".
in Racing Hard tyres...
No tweaks on the Suspension.

Comment:

I like it as it is...
Handling for me is good.. I mean "Great!"
I drift on hard corners in Trial Mountain... and it's fine.
Haven't tried it on Sarthe (My Favorite Track.)

For me.. it's not all over the place as some mentioned and as I've read on other reviews.

Actually the real reason why I did not go ford the Ford Mark IV is because of its color.. the redness of the Ford is too "Pale" for my taste.. on the other hand.. I chose the P4 because RED is my favorite color... aside from that... Too bad you can't paint the car.. because I would have painted it like the 458's Color.. ha..ha..ha... BTW, I ONLY gotr a trophy "Penniless"...

Again thank you for your shared thoughts!!!
Chaeers !!!

Now.. I'm gonna take a picture of it for my Wallpaper !

I have to say I was quite disappointed. For racing purposes there is no reason the P4 330 should cost 20 million and a 458 Italia about 350,000.

The reason it costs so much is that it is a historic racing car and in the real world I doubt that you could even buy it.

So PD just tried (and failed because of duping expoits) to stop anyone from ever driving it. And when they do, most probably go back to better cars and curse themselves for wasting the 20 mil. Unless they've gotten it through some short cut.

historic cars are special because they are not as sorted as modern racing car. sometime a worse car is actually more fun, I really dig cars that are hard to drive. The cobra is another one.
