LOL...I bet anyone who could afford one doesn't really give a toot if people think they are poseurs.

It's a status symbol...

People that need material things to show their status are low class.

Think of it as an investment. It goes UP in value, not down people.

That's your opinion. I'm sure somebody feels the same way about us Evo owners. Doesn't make you better than them.

Status symbol, poseur car, same basic thing. It's made to be a sports car, it's bought and driven like an old man's luxury car.

Using cars as investments is about as smart as using a Nigerian bank for your savings.

why does it look ridiculously photoshopped? If the paint is going to look dull, and the lighting doesn't match the shadow it creates, I don't think I'd want this physics defying Ferrari

But when I see a real photo of it with lighting from real lights that creates real shadows, I will probably have to have sex with my computer screen.

Just like all of the Evo owners who don't modify or race their cars...or owners of Corvettes, STi, GTO, SRT-4, Viper, Porche, Jaguar, etc. etc. etc. They are all sports or sport oriented cars. In the end it really doesn't matter how people drive their cars. Luckily we don't live in a communist country that can tell use what cars we can drive and how to drive them.

I believe that is done to highlight the body lines and features of the car. A standard picture of the car wouldn't quite do that. It does look hokey but nearly every manufacture does it with artist renderings or photo-shopped pics.

If it was a regular 430 I'd agree with you completely.
