All in a Day's Work: Racing a Ferrari .....

PancakeWafflez · 10-19-2007, 11:18 PM

I never made this thread with the intention of meaning that I drive a high and mighty car. I would take an AMG benz over my car any day of the week.

I see ferrari's and lambo's etc every day here in FL and its not something that excites me as much as it did when I used to live in the city.

What I did say is that he was 'toying' with me. I didnt say that I would beat him or that I have the fastest car out there.

I was pointing out the mere fact that a sub $40k car was left by only 1-2 car lengths at most by a sub $200k car. I would not pay $160k more for a ferrari when a highly modded 3 can keep up with one.

That's the simplicity of what I was trying to get across.

Having a ferrari doesn't equate to shit. If you own your house and have enough equity in it, you can borrow that and buy a ferrari cash and pay for a ferrari like you're paying for a house mortgage. It's that simple. So before you guys go pointing fingers to me, understand what I'm trying to get across first.

Fucking douchebags...no wonder people really do hate bmw drivers...

ib4 they hate you /e90post

I'm guessing you would call smokey nagata and his $200k+ supra a ricer because he's got a bov?

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.

Nahh, really built cars have a reason for the BOV. Your reason is to be a ricer. You want it for the sound. You have a sedan, white, no less, and then want the noise to draw attention to you? Wouldn't your Daddy buy you a flaming read coupe? Maybe with a big wing on back?

And you wonder why the Ferrari was embarrassing you? I'll give you a clue - He was showing you that even with your obnoxious BOV, you were no match, and he only did that because of your BOV. Clueless - From a dig you will do pretty well against him. From a roll, where he is in the right gear, turning 6,000 RPM - ain't gonna happen!! He was trying to educate you. Apparently you are a slow learner.

I couldn't agree more, no offense to the 335 owners I mean theres some great guys here with 335 that actually have something interesting to say, and are really down to earth, but then theres people on here like the op who just keep going on and on about "Oh shit my 335 just beat a F599" WE GET IT THE 335 IS FAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Makes the whole lot of us 335 drivers look like dip-shit, elitist tool-bags.

I think that is the general difference between older drivers of 335 and the younger; the older ones have learned there will always be something faster and it is not something worth pursuing. Just enjoy the ride you have. The younger still have something to prove, and maybe learn. General observation, not directed at individuals.

I agree more so on this forum. Although there a many guys who have been tools and we dont know their age.

Outside of the forums, whenever I see a 335i owner its usually an older male. which I would assume is a majority of the owners so that would mean most of the elitist are the older individuals.

Seriously. I swear, people will compare the 335 to every fucking car out there. Jesus, the 335i doesn't beat everything!!

I can't wait till someone compares their PROcede 335i to the Enzo and Veyron. I could hear it now.
"I was this close to pulling on the Enzo"

My 335 is faster than this thread. I cannot beat a ferrari. I can eat M's. Porsche turbos are a no go, the caymann s and such get owned.

I would.

To be fair though, you paid 50k for a 3 that is slower than a tuner costing far less.

When you say M's you refer to stock e46's I assume? I can't see your 335 beating your M6 and I assume you would agree.
