Which do you think is more fun to drive? The Ferrari is an experience -- a sublime driving experience every time you drive that begins when you look at it. The sound that envelops you, the throttle response, the way the car feels and the immediacy of the entire sensation. Just driving to the end of your street puts you in a good mood. A 360/430 at around town speeds is as visceral and exciting an experience as the M3 in the last 500rpm to redline, and you can do it all the time.
There are plenty of good, modern cars with incredible performance figures. GT-R, 911 Turbo, R8 V10, M3.. None of these come close to the experience of driving a Ferrari, no matter how much faster they are in the quarter mile.
