But if I have the free cash to spend $200k on a Lamborghini or Ferrari, or $100k on a Chevy, I’m going to buy the former every time, performance be damned. And a Toyota for when the Lambo breaks. ---

i had 250 in my head for 430, but IDK what that was based on. Regardless, 2 ZR1s or 1 430, hands down. I’d even take a smaller displacement model for more money if it was called the F420 WASSAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA ---

I am looking for a Ferrari site that actually lists new car prices. I’ve found a F430 F1 with 178 miles for $179k in Chicago, but that’s as close as I’ve been able to get so far. Nobody lists them. Lamborghini though? Yeah, Gallardos are under $200k, and the LP560-4 is under $250k. Or did you miss the one that I linked in that very post? EDIT: LA Auto Gallery starts their brand new 2008 F430s at $186k, 2009s for about $1k more.

this is kinda like the average “richish” persons supercar… or the daily driver beater for the really rich people. I doubt maintenance on this will be any more costly than that of a regular vette, just have to check super charger oil now and replace tires more frequently. ---

> [@Nikuk](#): > > IIRC he backed out of his order…? IDK. and… people forget that there is ALOT of money in WNY. GM employee money too boot. lol yup but find me 1 for $100k and I’ll let ya drive it.The SM I am friends with got let go and advised me that the word around the dealership that they weren’t going to get one even though they promised me until they were blue in the face that it was 110% locked up. To be honest if they do make the Z-28 I’m pretty sure that I would buy one over the Zr1.Both are going to have the zr1 engine but the Camaro will be $50K cheaper and be numbered and alot rarer if they do what they are saying. And yes there are alot of PPL in WNY that have some nice coin that you would never think.I would say the average GM,ford,union worker,policeman,fireman,etc over 50 that didn’t blow their money has over $200K stashed away and will never admit it. ---
