Yeah, the Maranello is one beautiful and just plain old awesoe kick ass vechile, it is the best odern Ferrari by far, too bad the build quality on it is terrible and they depreciate faster than a skydiver jumping out of a plane

Another great read from EVO. Thanks a lot for the scan TT. Love the outcome :D

BTW Tried to get an EVO two days ago and all the had is a heavily used copy of the ITALIAN version. LOL How did the Italian version get to Canada is beyond my imagenation.

TT 03-26-2004 08:55 PM

LMAO! Strange indeed! :D

You got to be kidding me. Ever seen a Maranello in person. Ever looked inside the interior?

You always seem to have some shit to say about a Ferrari or anything besides Porsche. Bad built quality???LOL

Beautiful scans and a wonderful article, thanks a bundle TT.

jpatino03 03-26-2004 09:56 PM

Uh oh...they didn't include the 355, Jabba's gonna be pissed... :D
Thanks TT!

evo comes through again with a brilliant article. They are so much more focused on driving than any of the mags in America...its great to read their articles. Little surprised about the winner, I figured either the new GT3 or the Zonda and was hoping for the NSX-R :twisted:...but the 550 is definitely a wonderful car. Thanx TT

noosee 03-27-2004 03:55 AM

I was waiting for this one.
Great article !!!
Thanks TT :D

Cornutu 03-27-2004 01:15 PM

yea this article is wack, how do you not include the F355 or the 360. How are both of those cars not better than a lotus or a clio. I don't completely understand their thinking. And the NSX-R man what are they on. On a positive note, thanks for posting, don't want to smack the hand that feeds.

sentra_dude 03-27-2004 01:56 PM

^^^Did you read the article...they don't choose their 'best' car based on usual criteria, its on which is the best driver's car...so that's why the NSX-R, Elise, and Clio are there...evo happens to think they are better driver's cars than those two Ferraris. It's not about name, which is the most expensive, or which is fastest to 60mph... a nice change from every American mag out there.

Cornutu 03-27-2004 03:30 PM

I appreciate the article and their point of view but, how you can think that a clio drives better than say an m3 or a mercedes is beyond me. To me its just a little bopper car. It's like these art critics, who tell me that The Last Samurai was a bad movie and then tell me how great this independent shitbox movie about a guy and his tractor is.

TT 03-27-2004 05:15 PM

Yes they will receive many letters about the placement of the Clio, I'm sure.

But I always like their way of thinking and for sure you can't find much better in the FF market then the Clio.. they rate the cars basing on evoness and it's something very subtle and subjective too.. so it's normal that somebody always disagree ;)

Chingachgook 03-27-2004 07:07 PM

Thanks a lot TT, as always! This is epic and the Maranello is the best car they've ever tested, and this is impressive knowing how much it weights!! But like thay said, it's a kind of magic

lakatu 03-27-2004 07:44 PM

I like the 550M but I don't agree with their choice. I think the car is too heavy for such honors. I am also suprised that EVO and Car magazines continue to rate the MK1 as a better overall handler than the MK2. St Anger who has driven both indicates the MK2 understeered less than the MK1. I think that the difference is the spring rates on the MK2 being stiffer and a difference in road conditions in the UK verses Germany. It sounds like UK roads aren't as smooth as in Germany and that this prevents the MK2's front end from bitting like the MK1.

Well that's my 2 cents worth. Thanks TT for the scan.
