Fanatic>>>> U DA MAN, well put :sport009:

I knew I had good taste in women and boats. I just never knew why. Now I know. Got them both. Glad I didn't date the pig just looked at her and picked the Pet.

Yes I know all that just tried to wrap the offtopic up in short.
Top Gun is just a 6 week course held at Miramar for the US Navy Elite 6 times a year (?).
I once tried for the FAF myself but my vision wasn´t up to par to be in a fighter.
My utmost and childish dream still is that I would´ve become a fighterpilot..at least we have some (red) targets available real close...

Handling is not = speed..not in a Fountain at least IMO. the ride could be smoother but I´m impressed by the speed they attain not how they treat you in rough water.
And nothing equals a stout bigblock in a car either myfriend.
Just recently I had a Ferrari 360spider available... what a notwithsaying sterile piece of..well nothing.
It didn´t turn on any bells and whistles and despite how sofisticated, I ´d take my 61 Corvette any day over it for it´s fun factor or my other toys that will give that italian whining crap a run for it´s money, like the 70 SS396 Elky in the 1320 ( no it´s not stock just looks like it if you look fast ..) ;-)
And lets not forget a (ragtop) BB Vette with a stick shift... only a Ferrari Daytona (Spider) will equal it but no new Ferrari IMO.


So What did Predator do 2006 ?

In fact Reggie did team up with Fabio Buzzi for a while...and that happened to happen in the early 90´s ?
So was the case for Aronow too...do you think he came up with the at the time fast hulls/bottoms ?
He had help from everyone starting from Jim Wynne etc.
But Don was the First and the loudest so he Is the one and only King of offshore powerboats and deserves his glory even this day.

Just had to tell the truth...
And don´t you start to tell me that I´m not accustomed to see beatiful women around here...

*A Playboy playmate once went unnoticed for me at a nightclub as she is just one blonde of many over here (if she´d had her violin with her then I´d recognized her better for sure).

They handle just fine, speed alone doesn't win races.


The Ferrari will suck the paint off the out dated 61 vette around a track where handling, braking and all around performace matters. It will also run away from a 61 vette in a straight line. Matter of fact a Ferrari 360 will run away from any 60's or 70's muscle car in a straight line in the 1/4 including a 396 ss. (Stock for stock, you want to modify? We can modify the Ferrari as well.


A Ferrari Enzo will kill it, not even a race, so will a 430.




Actually Reggie did come up with the fast hulls at the time. The staff he has and the R@D guys are second to none. Just because Reggie or Don decided to hook up with someone doesn't mean they didn't do the majority of the work.

But that isn't the truth you typed..it is just a fabrication, something you wished were true...
I understand though as we all can't live in the greatest, richest and most powerful country in the world so you must dream...:D

Yes I'm sure Finland : has more blondes than a country such as America with over 300 million people.

One of our states has more blondes than your entire counry. Hell I bet one of our nightclubs does! :cool-smiley-011:

Where is Playboy and the Playboy mansion anyway? Hint: It sure isn't Finland. :violent-smiley-045:

But a Ferrari can´t bury as fast in rubber smoke my Vette as I do a Ferrari with it ( and melt the paint of one)..as their traction control will kick in HAHAAAAAA.....Gotcha.
I don´t care if a Ferrari outruns my Vette which it doesn´t in a near future.
Now you know a 1970 LT-1 isn´t supposed to sit in a 61 engine bay and regarding strip times it ain´t gonna happen even with a 360 challenge and hasn´t although one has had the chance to try but denied of the chance.
Hint I has to be a low 12 second car which is more than enough for a ragtop unless U have rollbars on your ragtop which I have to have If I hit the strip and do have.

What comes to modification..which one has more aftermarket parts, A SBC/BBC Chevy or a Ferrari anything???
Fact is Ferraris are nearly impossible to modify and therefore useless in my eyes and I have a rolling road Dyno for that purpose.

Besides I´d still have way more fun In a Corvette just as it sounds like a real car not like a sewingmachine while idling and running with the traffic in general and lack of GRUNT!
Believe me or not the sound of a Ferrari unless a old V12 drives you NUTS!
Lamborghini or Porsche on the other hand is a whole different ballgame.
Now what displacement does your boat posess ???

Hopefully you´ll get it someday but I doubt it if you´re as old as your fiends or those you wish are... might be your instructor but not your friend ?

Regarding track times I´ve seen more slow Ferrari drivers/owners that I can think of and the times they´ve come up with I´ve Wasted personally with a 4door sedan on the same track.
Including a Ferrari F40 with a careful owner.
Ok it was homologation version but still and yes an (Italian) 4 door not a M3.

Remember Rick and his Dad (Moroso) races/ed a 1961 Corvette since the 60´s... mighty fast one too..

What I´ve witnessed and heard a driver in an Enzo is most likely to kill oneself before threatening any old Vette or complete a lap even...and thats the SAD thruth about Ferrari owners in General and why they buy one...
I buy my toys to keep MY grin on my face.



No lets not assume they got tips from someone... by looking or getting told how it´s done and you believe Reggie did all that by himself.
No, he just TOOK the credit for it, but did he earn it is a question here to argue ;-)

Something which is true is just what I wrote.
The Playmate in question was Linda Brava.
She was also on the Centerfold of April 1998 issue.
Also might add that I´ve seen way before (1989) in the backroom of a nightclub another (brunette) in her bare lingerie another Centerfold AND Playmate of the month (1988 december) .I was coming to work and she was preparing for her show.

If that hasn´t happened ever to you you live in a too big country :sport009:


Don´t get that richest and most powerful card...as it´s total crap unless you´re a Russian.
They can at their will destroy the whole economy of the world by just letting out all their natural resources they posess.
But they happen to be too intelligent to do that.
Remember Zora Arkus Duntow was a Russian just like Don Aronow.



Not again the masses propaganda...you start to sound like a Russian.
Surely you got people but they ain´t blond ... that I´ve witnessed myself even, And I´m glad Europe ain´t the melting pot of all the races.
Oh I´ve dated US blondes too. Happened to be one of the best looking in that small high school too way back and with a german lineage.
But one of my alltime favourite women regarding Beauty is Pam Grier and Sophia Loren...just look at them in their prime.

Enough of this offtopic.
Now I understand Reggies promotion hits the nail on some people...

Wow...what the fukc are we even talking about?

Mid 12's? Bolt on Honda's run mid 12's nowdays. The F430 is an 11 second car. The Enzo is very low 11 second car that traps almost 135mph. The new 630 is also a low 11 second car...They can also handle, brake and corner. The 61 vette is archaic, it's not even in the same ballpark as a modern day Ferrari. You have got to be kidding me?

Ferrari's don't need to be modified, they are already fast enough unlike a 61 vette that wil get smoked at a light by a mini van.

Ferrari imposible to modify? They are modified all the time! Novitec makes 600 and 700 hp cars. Canepa Motorsports can do anything you want. There are tuner shops all over that modify them.

I've owned plenty of old school muscle cars. They are what they are old school and I can appreciate them for that but they aren't fast, they don't handle and they can't brake.
Ferrari's sound fantastic, nothing better including the V8's and I was just here, the number rated concourso in the world.

Hopefully I'll get what? That an old 61 vette can't compete with todays cars? Throwing an LT1 will somehow make 60's technology comprable to a new Enzo? F430? Funny stuff. Not an instructor he was a family friend. I come from a family of Naval Aviators.

Silly opinion. Tell it to Ivan Lendle who drives his 800 rwhp F40 on tracks all around the US. He is also a multi champion Lemans winner. Tell it to the guys who own Shelton Ferrari who campaign a couple cars. In this country we have a huge Ferrari following and we race our cars.

You need to come out to a real race track like Leguna Seca.


Reggie continually refines his hulls and he uses all his resources to do so. That includes engineers, R@D and lessons he learns from racing. If it's so easy why doesn't everybody do it?
