The comfort award?

Marauder, hands down. ;)

I wonder how much luggage you can fit in that Ferrari's trunk? Oh wait, it doesn't HAVE a trunk, does it?

Cars like that are cool, I guess, but they really don't do much for me. I'd be terrified to drive it for fear of being carjacked, wrecked, or damaged.

I went to a dealer in Montreal Quebec, I was in downtown it was horrible traffic and many hobos :argue:

Never again, although the ferrari was pretty good but way over priced.

Horrible comparison...Since the Marauder is a far superior automobile :D (enthusiasts will kill me for saying that). You have to understand though, this opinion is coming from someone who got stuck trying to get out of one. Theyre hands down one of the most UNCOMFORTABLE cars i have ever had the pleasure of sitting in (next to the CLS 500 Mercedes).

Plus, i mean you also have to understand one is a "super" car and the other is a "Joe Schmoe-mobile" :coolman:

shouldn't worry too much about that unless you decide to drive down D.C. streets at night like camron did in his lambo. A car that does 0-200 in .005 seconds couldn't even help you if you hit DC traffic.

The dealer who sold the Ferrari, the tow truck guy who will be carrying it to the dealer for repairs on a regular basis and the dealer service department who gets $499 for an oil change. Just my opinion but the Marauder owner wins everytime. Of course the quarter is not the forte of the Ferrari and neither is daily driving. My buddy Dick called it the big dick syndrome???Dennis:dunno:

Wasn't there a member who took his MM to a Ferrari meet at a track...and handed all of thier asses to them??

I remember a post sometime back, If I remember correctly he was S/C

IMHO a Ferrari is what I like to call unusable HP...yeah you can go 200mph but when will you ever get the chance to... and for the price?

I stick with the big bad Merc thanks

While I was in college I spent a semester in D.C. as a congressional intern. Let's just say that I've traveled throughout the entire United States and D.C. is probably the worst place to negotiate in an automobile.

But I did it...and I survived!

This was my ride in Maui a few years back. (I'm the guy on the left, by the way. The guy on the right was the fella who delivered the car to me at my hotel.)

I gotta admit, it was a blast! Still, the Ferrari didn't blow me away. It was a very nice car, but I could never shell out that kind of cash for one - even if I had it to burn.

You gotta admit though, the Ferrair Power to Weight ratio is great. I mean, those things aren't even that heavy and they strap in all that HP. Although, the GT would own it ;)

Theres a handfull of ferrari's in my neighborhood in Vegas. I always rev it when one goes by, the kooks exhaust is just as loud as theirs and gets attention. I also have followed a guy in a F355 doing powerslides/ burnouts around our roundabout and stayed right on his ass for two circles. I think upper and lower CA's are my next mod for more traction in the corners and all around.

A modern Ferarri (like the 360 pictured) would hand ANY Marauder its a$$ on a real race track. And of course, for anything other than a highly modified MM, it would not be close in a straight line either.

Apples and oranges. Perhaps for the next round we should compare the MM to an Airbus A380.

Actually it was a 308 GTS that 'ol Thomas drove. That was a great show, and I've still got the hots for one of those cars. BTW, he always wore a Detroit Tigers ball cap. Here's a link. http://www.classiccarclub.co.uk/carpages/fer_308gts.asp
