Would anyone confuse this with the Z?
 
I just saw one of these, just like this one, parked one block away:

Ferrari 458 Italia. Around $230,000.

So if I black out my headlights, do some fancy painting of the grille, and lower my Pearl White Z, can I tell people it's an Italia?:ugh2:

Beautiful car.

LuckyJinx 12-18-2010 02:22 PM

I can't see the picture, but I had people say my car looked like a ferrari.

Yeah, just wishful thinking!

Here's another picture of the Italia in case there is a problem with how I posted the first:

At one of my two jobs I work at a tow yard and we recently had a black one impounded for 9 days due to excessive speeding. HAWT!

Junior370z 12-18-2010 03:29 PM

Nice Z! Oh wait. What?

tonybui 12-18-2010 03:39 PM

You are crazy hahaha

Mr. Magoo might be fooled.

Add a hammer to your formula so you can hit the person in the head before they look. A good swing should have them thinking your car is whatever you tell them it is.

:bowrofl: Great idea! And if I hit them with a big rock, I can convince them my Mazda is an LFA!

Are you kidding me?

optiontrader 12-18-2010 08:55 PM

LOL. Not a stone's chance in hell... :bowrofl:

I remember when the first few pics of the Italia came out and after being accustomed to the look of the 430 (which I liked less than the 360), I said: "meh".

The more and more I see pictures, the more I like. I have NOT yet seen one around here in SD. I should do a jaunt up the coast...

Sex on wheels for cars!

PapoZalsa 12-18-2010 09:02 PM

Professordave. You have the same white car and saved 200K. You are a smart shopper. :D

Footloose301 12-19-2010 07:32 AM

Haha you must be delusional! Nice car:tup:

I'm sure some around here might think they could make their Z look like an Italia.

If you do that, I will put a Z-badge on my G20 and see how it goes. :tiphat:

If you can get your Z to burst into flames like the many Italias that have, then yea maybe people can mistake it.

radek7633 12-19-2010 10:33 AM

Porsche... maybe (if it didnt have a big Nissan logo on the front n back) Ferrari... not enough paint in the world to make it look like a 230,000$ car

IMO

I'll take it if they want to give it to me.

Lemers 12-19-2010 11:27 AM

The front of the seats still look usable.

mick 12-19-2010 11:35 AM

it would be terrible for the owner of the ferrari if some people would confuse his car with the z because i believe the service expenses and insurance premiums of his car over 5 years could cost more than the z :)

The adhesive in the rear wheel wells of the Italia have been known to catch fire and have been recalled.

Speaking of recalls, I'm fairly certain most of the haircuts and poser facial expressions in that motivational poster have also been recalled.

New Jersey declined to honor the recall.;)
