I think RC is right at one point of view. Ferrari is so expensive and it is not going as fast as it's price tag. I don't know z06 in USa but if it would be sold in Turkey it had a 90-100k € tag (because of high taxes) and f430 is 230k€(again high taxes) in Turkey. If I want a super fast car I would buy a z06 and put 50k€ parts to it and I will have a enzo killer but honestly I don't want to do that. I like Ferrari's and always dreamed for a have one and really don't care wich model it would be. I want to have a Ferrari because Ferrari is special company and all of it's cars are special. All Ferrari owners buy it because it is fast , it has wondefull sound , and it is so special. I'm sure that in every country if you say I have ferrari you will be jealesed by everyone. I can't say for 'vette users. When I saw a C5 I say he has a sprts car wich has a good american v8 sound but I don't think he is a special man. When I see porsche boxster and his owner I think he is not a special but more jealesd than a 600hp 'vette.May be I am saying this words because of I am aeuropean not american. May be by another reason I can't realize now. Sorry about my poor english but I think you guys understand me.

Meaning that most ferrari buyers buy the car because they feel the car makes them a better person?

If more super car owners were like Jabba and actually took their cars to track and had fun with them (as much as their schedule allows them to) you wouldn't even be having this discussion.

The fact is most of them are like Paris Hilton and Steffan "the crook"... they measure their self-value and self-image by their material possesions... and all the groupies aspire to "be like their hero's"..

i.e. fanboys

Although I must point out, while in Philly, we had Starbucks prepared by one a few Coffee Masters.. and I could taste no difference between what he brewed and the shit coming out of the vending machine down the hall...
That's because you're not schooled in the art of good coffee!!

If you forgot about coffee and other crap you would have noticed I answered that on the first page.

An ambient temp sensor exposed the air flow like that?

Won't that give a wind-chilled temp readout?

When crusing by Starbucks at 50km/h the wind-chill factor will be pretty low
