I love the gt. Dont get me wrong.................... but I just purchased a 458 and that is a serious car. Maybe the most complete car I have ever driven. Sound, speed, technology, exotic look etc...
I am on my second Ferrari and I drove my first one quite a bit. I am driving the 458 and not watching it rot away. I belong to the local Ferrari club and most of the members drive their cars. They love the Ford GT whenever it comes out as well. Good group.
In my opinion, a lof to the Ferrari sterotyping is just that, a sterotype. My personal experience with Ferrari owners has been much different.
Lastly, people buy their cars for so many different reasons. To drive, to invest, to brag, to gain status, to get women, to whatever. I think you write the check you get to do whatever with the car.
