What?  They are still the fastest cars to lap a track in the world.  Nothing you can buy can touch one except another F1 car.
 

I was actually linking the word slow with the image, seeing how far back Ferrari is in terms of pace this season. Even if Alonso managed to win a race.

Ah, I figured there was a hidden context, lol.  They need rain to win.  Can never count Alonso out no matter what he drives, he's just that good.  He's probably the best overall driver there is atm.
 
It's okay, the rule is that the slower the Ferrari F1 team the faster the Ferrari production cars.

ayrton senna drove an NSX? lol
 
that guys more like it!

Man look at how primitive the Aero package was on that.  Talk about progress.

Yup.  Who do think tuned the chassis?
 
Gordon Murray and Montoya drive Mini Coopers, old and new respectively.  Schumacher likes Harleys and Raikonnen has a thing for V8 pick-ups.

i like raikonnen a lot. but i also like barichello and hamilton, i think button's got a lot of potential. but none of them beat the STIG!

Which one? 

 

 

[flight567]

good question.i definitely don't like black stig. i could outrace him! sacked stig is... a traitor so i guess i like the new one lol.
 
but you've gotta admit that when tiff was doing the teaching vs sacked stig, the times improved lol
 
oh to add a question, i'm looking at a retuned fiero, what do you think?

 

[OmarCCX]

I'd have to say my favorite driver right now is Button. I've also been a fan of Segio Perez ever since he managed to finish in 8th place in his first race ever (Australia 2011), in a relatively slow car, on a 1-stop strategy.

MR2.  Lighter, better chassis dynamics, aftermarket support.  Toyota versus Pontiac....

 
"In the August 1985 issue of Road & Track, the Fiero was tested against six other sports cars. The slalom results (MPH): Honda Civic CRX Si: 62.5 Toyota MR2: 61.6 Pontiac Fiero: 61.5 Alfa Romeo Graduate: 58.4 Bertone X1/9: 58.3 Mazda RX-7 GSL: 57.2"
 
If you prefer the looks of the Fiero, a V6 stock in some models and don't worry about reliability/troubleshooting, why not I guess.

onestop is very risky though...  8th in his first race?? wow!!l lol.
i don't hear a lot about kobayashi (i've probably butchered his name too.)
 
i ask because the guy's thrown in a 480 BHP v8, rebalanced it on some variety of racing suspension stuck performance axels on it and a racing 5 speed manual.

also, what do you think about a retuned fiero?

I started watching F1 last year, but I heard Kobayashi was an overtaking monster in 2010. I think he changed his driving style because of the new Pirellis.
 
I like MR2s, but for a Toyota I've heard it's a bit unreliable. Particularily the gearbox.

Kobayashi is the best Japanese driver F1 has ever had.  I was pissed Toyota quit F1 when they debuted Kobayashi in the last few races.  Toyota would have won waaay more w/ Kobayashi and a blue chip like Kubica or better.  All that money they wasted on developing cars for Jarno Trulli and Olivier Panis.  I'll never understand why they didn't spend their massive budget on drivers.
