So sick of Ferrari as a company

Recent news of Deadmau5 being threatened by Ferrari involving a de-felinization of his Purrari is just the latest in a long stream of douchebaggery by Ferrari Corporate to administer cease and desist / lawsuits to people who have modified Ferrari's in a manner not pleasing to Father Enzo
A list of stories I can think of just off the top of my head:
-Corporate demanding that a Ferrari 430 built to be a Nurburgring track car have its Ferrari emblems removed.
-Lawsuit against a man who made a stretch limo based on a damaged Ferrari
-Lawsuit against a man who went to Pinnifarina for some custom bodywork on his Ferrari
Ferrari Corporate withholding the sale of certain models to the general public and only allowing a select few hand picked customers to be eligible based on their Ferrari ownership history.
-Ferrari only allowing owners to lease certain competition package cars that you dont get to take home, Ferrari holds possession of the car and delivers it to different tracks only for track driving.
I like some of their cars, but the elitist nature of their dealings with paying customers deters me from ever purchasing a Ferrari product.
.... oh and theres that money thing too.

Things like this is what drives people to buy a Lamborghini... They'll let you do ANYTHING!
Side note: Deadmau5 put the Ferrari up for sale after removing the wrap and now he has a Mclaren 650s spyder.

I agree. Ferrari's politics are annoying but if given the opportunity... I'd still buy one.

This is funny. Ramplesaucerburg and I were having a very similar convo the other day. I'm a Lambo guy. Nothing against Ferrari (although the items above are disturbing). I think the L cars have more raw styling than the Ferraris.....which are more easily described as 'Beautiful'.
Best comparison, is a Ferrari is the nice girl you take home to mom, the Lambo is the hot mess you keep on the side.

I am pretty sure the Countach would have been direct competition to the F40 to be period correct with the Porsche 959 in the mix as well.

F50

It makes sense if you look at their time lines. They ended the F50 in 1997 then the Enzo 2002-2004 and now the La Ferrari 2013 - prestent

By makes sense I mean there are large gaps between their halo cars.

All of those Ferrari's you guys just listed were 3x the price of Lambos of the same era. Apples to oranges in my opinion.
I agree. When you talk about the "competition" between the cars I don't even think it is fair. Lamborghini was still a novelty that tried to kill you at every blink while the Ferrari's were mostly track focused true super cars made in limited volume. The f355 would be closer in price to the Diablo but on paper the Diablo still competed with the F50.

I'd take a Lambo over a Ferrari any day.
However, the '14 458 Italia is an amazing car.
