This is going to be rough but this car is not fast enough.

Anything but the engine in a Ferrari has serious build quality issues lol. The interior quirks and problems are pretty well known in the collecting community.

Also, being a millionaire in today's day and time isn't the big deal it used to be especially considering housing costs. The fastest way to become a millionaire, IMO, is to stay out of debt and let assets appreciate while not living above one's means. Just my opinion.

Down here you just have to own an average house to be a millionaire

You could always learn to ride on 2 wheels and get a forced induction hayabusa. You'll run 6s and steal a plaids lunch money.

Amen. Even a stock hyperbike will scare a fast car driver s**tless.
Lean angles rule.

Probably not the only thing in your life that's heavy and cheap ...

Slower than a GTD at the 'Ring. It must have 3000 shetland ponies, with slippery shoes.

It is cheap. Great to have so much fun for so little dosh.

That's like saying an one girl is hotter than another because her knickers are made in Milan.

Prices falling finally, but even so, a 900,000 New Zealand house is only $571k US dollars, so not far off from most US metro markets.

Dark Horse with a Whipple. Each to his own. I'd rather have the snake if I wanted a 7th gen track race car. Only manual trans for me. Won't do paddles i.e. GT 500 which is probably what Ford will do for 26 (hope not).

Cobra puddle lamps?
Plaques?
Sill plates?

Obviously with options like this it’s a purpose built race ca!!

But how many Shelby emblems does it have on it??? At least 30 I’m hoping for maximum lap times

Don’t forget stickers make it quicker but emblems make it faster.

Yeah, but our average wage is $NZ60K, a bit less than US I think. And our cost of living would make you weep.

You've obviously never piloted a tuned super bike. All the major liter bikes are capable of 9 second quarter miles with a rider of moderate skill. You don't even need a new one, 10-15 year old liter bikes are 9 second capable and can be had for $10k-ish.

I agree the plaid is crazy fast and comparatively easy, and frankly, less scary. Launching a 1kcc+ bike with 180+ rwhp is violent, fun and a bit frustrating until you get it right.

but bang for the acceleration buck, they're tough to beat.

Not to mention there's S650's in the 10's, 9's, and eeking into the 8's and you can still drive them to the track.

Yes. All American cars feel cheap. Because Made in Merica

The factory Cobra will have all the same stuff but I see the Super Snake has decal stripes as opposed to painted on stripes that Ford will probably do that will be good for at least 5 more horse power!

The majority of you guys have been welcoming and pleasant. I won’t let the couple of idiots on this thread define the group.

Glad to be here and learn from you guys about

Thanks brother I am pretty disappointed with the animosity and ignorance of some of the people on this forum.

I love all cars and love to see what people own, have owned or will be owning. Plenty of cars I can never afford (Bugatti Chiron) but I applaud those who can.

Forums have changed over the years - there seems to be less traffic here than I've seen on Mazdaspeed, VW Golf, and Camaro forums that I've seen in the past. TikTok, however, is exploding with people in the car scene, but it's not as effective as having trouble-shooting conversations on the forum.

Trolls, however, remain the enduring constant... Don't feed them.
