2004 ferrari VS 1994 SL500

i was cruzin in newport when a bright yellow ferrari (marinello or barschetta (cant spell)or somthing, the long shark coupe looking one not modena) pulls up and my top was down and his window was down. i complemented him on his nice car and he asked if i wanted to race. i was like..... uh ok. he was like 100bucks to the next light. im thinking he has a 225 hp gain on me not to menton its a fricken ferrari! i was like no. when the light turned green we both punched it and he burned out in five gears and won by a good amount. it was fun, he was an *** thought. i dont like old men in ferraris picking on 17 year olds.

If the 575 In question truely did go through 5 gears, you wouldnt be able to see it. Also its called a maranello.

It was the Maranello Barchetta (removable hardtop). There were only a few hundred of them made. Very sweet car. Unfortunately, they run $250k even used!

Sounds somewhat fishy, but it's believable.

1994 SL500, 2002 911cab.,1994E500,2003X5,1994 E420, 1992 300TE

you own all those cars or what?

it is true, what is the point about lying about a loss? here in newport beach it is not rare to race very nice cars here, we have 4-5 Enzos and 7 Carra GT and 3 SLRs. it is fun to see what the must expensive car you see. the other day a 04' Viper and an 03-04 Porsche Turbo go at it. i went at it to but that was not even fun becasue those guys are SO0o fast. those cars are the familys cars but the SL is mine, durring the weekend i usualy drive the E500 or the Porsche.

that would be a 550 Barchetta, the 575 Convertible is called the 575M Superamerica.

I believe you too. You remind me of my friend. He's rich as heck. Here are the cars him and his family owns.

G500, SL500, S500, CLK55 AMG, SLK32 AMG, 300SE, Range Rover, GT3, Carrera, Boxster, Hummer H1, Toyota Tacoma

He has a 2005 Porsche Cayenne Turbo coming next week in Titanium Metallic
with Full Carbon Fiber interior.

B@stard also has a G55 coming soon when it arrives and maybe the new SLK55.

I envy him, but he's a cool guy.

About the last thing that I would do after someone compliments me on my car is ask them to race.......that was a crappy move on his part. It's guys like that that gives us Fcar guys a bad name.

i agree, it showded that he did not have any class. and also he wanted to take my $$$!! I mean obvoulsy he would win because he does have about 200 hp on me. he was a dik. but it was neat to see that car do what it was made to do. (Take money from 16 yearolds lol!!) ha
