Oh well. No hard feelings all around. Go on with the chlorophyl!

You're kidding, right? At high speed the M5 can't even hang with the F430, let alone from a dig. Please think about what you're trying to say and you'll realize that it's ridiculous.

Thats interesting since an ungoverned M5 will do 205mph

It doesn't really matter too much who the buyer market is comprised of.
The bulk of BMW owners aren't the greatest people in the world, but that doesn't make the car any less than what it is. So why would it matter for other brands?

The F430 and Ferrari in general are both spectacular. It's just that for most people who like this sort of thing, the M5 is a smarter buy.

But for those certain about wanting a Ferrari, it would make sense to have something more practical as a daily driver, then the F car for leisurely driving.

What do you suppose the result would be if BMW built a direct competitor to the F430? What about if they made a supercar - how do think would it compare to the Enzo?

I would bet on the BMW (surprise!)
The F1 had a BMW engine

I honestly dont like the Enzo. Im not a Ferrari fan-boy either. Secondly, I was never comparing the cars themselves. I wasnt saying BMW was inferior. Try making sure youre quoting me correctly. I dont want a supercar anyway, they are pointless. THOSE owners are the ones who just buy it to have it. Hardly any of those cars make it to the street or the track.

I would give both my nuts for an F1. However, Id still feel more passion if I was driving the f430 and saw that prancing horse in front of me.

Ferrari is just.. well.. a Ferrari. I would take it over the M5 just based on the fact it has only 2 doors.

So does the Toyota Solara. Would you take that too over the M5?
