I've noticed several people comparing Corvettes and GT-R's to this in terms of numbers only, such as performance per price, hp, torque, and 0-60 mph times.  Stop it.  You can't even compare these cars, they're not even in the same league.  Sure, you get equivalent performance, and maybe slightly better figures in some cases/situations for less cost, but that's the ONLY thing you can compare. There is more to the entire package than just numbers. You get what you pay for applies here.  With cars like Ferraris, you're essentially paying for the pedigree so to speak.  Cars at this level are built with the best of the best in terms of materials quality, fit and finish, attention to detail, and overall engineering.  This is not cheap.

CorvetteKing,

"Corvette ZR1 has it beat!! For a much lower cost "

Are you sure about that?  Given what has been released so far, it looks like the new Ferrari is posting better figures.  However, that is ALL that is known about this car at this time.  We have yet to see how it performs overall, which will most likely be better, because automotive engineering always continues to advance.

Clearly, you're very biased towards Corvettes.  Sorry, but Corvettes are not the best thing since sliced bread.  They're overhyped crap.  Those pushing the ZR-1, including yourself, either don't know or choose to ignore the fact that GM has had trouble selling the ZR-1's.  When was the last time you have seen exotic car manufacturers, such as Ferrari, having to offer sales incentives to get their products to move?  The ZR-1 does not and has not sold well. GM had to put sales incentives on them.  What you have with the ZR-1 is essentially a $40,000 car with a huge engine crammed in it, and some chassis upgrades.  Great performance the price?  Sure, but the ZR-1 isn't that great apparently, or at least not six figures great.  Corvettes, yawn.  Everyone and their brother has one.

Titantim, first of all the GT-R is so computerized that it practically drives itself.  The reason why the GT-R posts slightly quicker times is because of the AWD system.  Most likely the 0-60 time of 3.1 seconds is an average time, not necessarily the best time.  Have you heard a GT-R in person?  Do you know what they sound like?  They sound like giant vacuum cleaners! That is not exactly a soul stirring sound.  In addition, it's not hp that accelerates a car, it's torque. You have used the same argument as the Corvette people do in regards to price.  The GT-R is far from perfect, they've had numerous problems with them, and they're one of the cars with the lowest driver involvement. The GT-R is not a real driver's car as far as I'm concerned.  The Corvettes, though I don't like them, are more of a driver's car compared to the GT-R.  The GT-R is ugly as hell, it looks like a giant catfish. 

The GT-R fanboys are just as annyoing as the Corvette fanboys.  No one can accuse me of being a Ferrari fanboy, I don't care for Ferraris, and I was more or less speaking on the general level of exotic car manufacturers, I just heard so much hyping of this car in the last week, and I was just curious to see it.  I don't like it to be honest.   For those of you who like Corvettes and GT-Rs, that's fine, but there is a difference between liking them and being so biased towards them.
