Supercharged 2010 Camaro vs 2012 Ferrari California - Ha! - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

The only reason I even post this is the fact that the driver of what I believe was a 2012 Ferrari California felt the need to pull along side, stare me down and take off zig zagging through congested Saturday morning northern Virginia traffic. I guess I should be flattered? Isn't that like a $200,000.00 car?

I gave the guy a friendly 'nice car' nod, not convinced I got anything in return.

Thanks for the unintentional compliment ****y ferrari guy!

Or I misunderstood the entire thing and this post is useless. In that case, Happy National Barbecue Month!!

Funny you bring this car up. One of the radiologists that I work with just bought one. Yes he said something like 200,000 dollars. I think he said 480hp as well.

I told him I could take him from a roll lol. Which is probably true. I doubt we will ever run though.

The california is one of the heavier and slower Ferrari's out there...cake walk for a supercharged ss until the deep triple digits.

Ya I was surprised when I looked it up. 11.9 @ 117. Not all that bad I guess...but I expected a bit more. I am sure in great conditions it may hit mid 11's and a 120 trap.

Well, to me, that just shows that the dude bought the car only to prove something, not because he is an actual connoisseur of exotic cars

Lol. Young kid driving dad's car. I even asked him if his dad knew where he was and he said "yes, he doesn't care"
