Says: Oh thats easy, If you want something that's good in a streight line? yes, however if you want something that can take a bend in the road & doesn't have Battleship style levels of fuel consumption? then go Ferrari.Although a Jaguar or Aston Martin (classic or present) has more Road Presence / are far more respected by other motorists & are also much less Bank Breaking than either of the other two ; )3. Says: Super cars like the Lamborghini's and Ferrari's are not cheap to own, repair or insure.
For the price of one of those cars you can have a whole fleet of muscle cars. If something goes wrong and need fixed you can find the parts today.
Just try to find a replacement alternator for an exotic, by the time you locate one for the Lambo, the American made muscle car will be back on the road.
Now if you just have a minor fender bender in a Ferrari, where do you get the new parts and how long do you have to wait to get that part. More then likely a long time.
But total an American made muscle car, and you can replace it before the sun rises the next day.
So while the exotics are nice, they are easier to take care of and replace.4. Says: Most of the General Motors cars were very reliable, and easy and cheap on repairs. I don't much care for the Fords they had a lot of transmission issues, Dodge were ok but had electrical problems, good thing about all of these is the cost to repair is cheap and most work can be done without bringing it to the shop.5. Says: Old American Muscle Cares were good but sadly new American Muscle Cares are garbage. Buy a B.M.W. Z8 or a B.M.W. M5.6. Says: you r sooo confused...a honda is reliable,,a toyota is reliable,,,,a 40 yr old muscle car,,NO...Buy your Ferrari..perfect for you.7.

Stick to your mom's minivan.8. Says: If you can afford a Ferrari or equivalent, you'd be an idiot to buy a piece of crap American muscle car.9. Says: They're like anything else it all depends on how the previous owner took care of it. Pretty much any car has it's quirks. Tag: Are American Muscle Cars Reliable?
