Which is your favourite Ferrari? By looks it would be the 355 or 360 for me but I love the 430 performance :dunce:

Also does anyone know how frequently a 360 and a 430 should be serviced and what are the servicing costs (I live in London). Also how reliabile are they? Any problems?

Feedback appreciated 👍
 
Talk to iceburns288 on GTP. His dad owns 2 Ferraris, he probably knows how much servicing they need.

Really? Then stop calling me the rich b*stard. :p

His Dad owns them... and you own(owned) your NSX... and live in Moncao. :p
 
Lets just put it this way; you don't want to use a Ferrari as a daily driver. Depending on the model, Ferraris can be reliable vehicles, but they require lots of servicing. Very, very expensive to maintain.

And my favourite Ferraris are the F430, the 355, the Testarossa, and the F40.
 
i see a ferrari as a pointless waste of money. to all the owners of ferraris.
wanna race? all i have a 300ZX i'm sure your *cough* Ferrari could *cough* beat me *cough* wanna race? or are you scared that you'll lose to a 18 year old with no brain? :dopey:

If you don't want to answer then don't - I didn't force you. So simple. Afterall this is an automotive forum - my question is automotive related.

P.S. I hate people with jealousy.

Jealousy? Um, no it was a challenge and opinion.

Also this is a gaming site more than a automotive site however all areas are really covered.

But I think it would be better to just find a good Ferrari owners site and see what they have to say.

You give the rest of 18 year olds a bad name.


As a driver of a Ferrari (not owner), I like to say their very nice cars. However, depending on your location, they are really not for everyday driving.
If you want a Ferrari, cool. But keep your Porsche or your Mercedes for daily driving.

BTW, Ferrari upkeeps are incredibly expensive. Depending on your model, many things may have to be taken out to fix one problem.
Refering to this here, Ferrari F50 with a broken clutch.
 
The BEST looking Ferrari ever is the Testarossa and then the 355.
 
Ewww, the F40 was nice in an ugly but agreesive kind of way, the F50 was just ugly.

I'll try and dig up the video of it, sounds incredible.
 
And you can't forget the specs ...

750 HP at 10,500 RPMs

Sequential gear box

Carbon Fiber chassis

1800 lbs (without water and oil, 2000 lbs with)

Carbon rotors

0-60 mph in 2.9 seconds

235 MPH top speed
 
Favorite Ferrais. Probably the 275 GTB/4 and F40. I'm not very fond of the new Ferraris, but love the classic ones, even though the new ones are much faster.
 
F50 GT1 is faster then the F40 LM. It was supposed to replace the F40 LM but Ferrari pulled out of Le Mans after making 3 F50 GT1's.
 
The F50 is a nice car. I'm starting to like the F430 now. :)

Err, the Ferrari dealer isn't exactly going to say "yes, they're unreliable" is he? I don't think they are anyway.

Plus, Ferraris are great cars. One of the reasons people hate them so much is because Michael Schumacher drives them in F1. A bit of a lame reason really.

How's this: I paid $70,000 for my 2004 Mercedes CLK55 and recently bought a $12,000 Kleemann supercharger for it. With that $82,000 I can outrun - by no small margin - the vast majority of Ferraris, 360 included. I have a longer warranty, I get better fuel economy, I have more standard stuff (including a navigation system and a sunroof, which isn't even available on the 360) and optional stuff was cheaper. My car will depreciate less, and I have a larger dealer network which means that when stuff breaks, I can get it fixed at more places. Speaking of stuff breaking, I've owned the car for 19 months and nothing's broken yet - I've had not one unscheduled trip to a dealer. Find me a 360 owner who can say that after 30,000 miles.

I have no idea why anyone would waste their money spending more than double what I paid when you have so many good choices for less. Think about it.

Yep, I've known about that car since it was first concieved. It sounds great like all Ferrari's but I don't think it looks great, I think the F50 is ugly and the F50 GT-1 looks like an F50 with a big wing, so no, I don't like the looks of the F50 GT-1 or the F40 LM I like the road version of the F40 but it's still not pretty, the race versions look crude I don't like the huge wings and stuff I know you need it on a race car but that doesn't stop it from uglyfying the car. Performance doesn't come into what I said, but the F40 LM didn't do so well and saying the F50 GT-1 was faster is stating the obviouse, it's a lot newer and the F40 LM didn't fare too well.
 
The road version of the F50 has already got a big wing, I must admit when in rear view of forza its wing looks like a big rear.
