The Top 5 Differences Between German and Italian Cars
Cars, like women (minus the whole crazy aspect), vary when they are from different parts of the world. For example, the general perception with American cars is that, like the nation's populace, grow exponentially every year in terms of gas guzzling and power. Thinking along these lines, The Autoblog presents the Differences Between German and Italian Cars.
1. Italian Cars cannot be pushed to their limit.
Apparently, you can beat a German car like a red-headed stepchild and the sicko will beg for more.They are masochists, just begging for more pain. On the other hand, Italian cars are like Paris Hilton on The Simple Life- You put it to work, it bitches and moans, breaks a nail (or a clutch) and calls it a day. Winner- German
These two pictures are one in the same
2. Italian Cars are Sexier
Well, there is a reason that these Ferraris cannot be pushed- they are too friggin' beautiful to drive. You wouldn't put a supermodel (that you owned and paid 100,000k for nonetheless) to run laps for 24 hours in a row would you? Fuck no! German cars, while a favorite of the Autoblog staff, are like Female Softball players- some are hot, others are just burley, strong women with big shoulders that have something to prove. Case in point- the Audi R8 and the VW Bug. Can't have that big ball of ugly on the roster, sorry fellas. Consistency gives this battle over to the Italians.
Winner- Italian Cars
3. German Cars Are The New York Yankees of Racing
Italy won 13 Le Mans victories, winning 5 in a row, with their last one being in 1964. Germany took home 26 victories, with a streak of 7, (they also had a streak of five in the 1980s with driver Jacky Ickx at the helm) with their last victory being 2007. Uhh that kind of speaks for itself, I don't even have a witty remark.
Winner- German Cars
4. Mugello Vs. The Nurburgring
Thunder and the forgeries of Birmingham, England birthed heavy
metal. The Ghettos of NYC, L.A. and St. Louis fueled Rap. Mugello and the Nordschielfe are the testing grounds for Italian and German cars respectfully. Mugello is a decent track too, with its smooth curves, long straights. You can tell it was designed by Italians, the people of art, culture and fine food. The 'Ring on the other hand screams German- Cold, precise and narrow. Its been dubbed the Green Hell by drivers- driving on that thing at above 65mph is basically suicide. Its 12 miles long. Nazi's designed this thing- its torture, and the tracks incredibly badass nature gives this one to the Germans
Winner- German Cars
5. Ferrari and Masarati will Get you Laid More Than A Porsche or BMW
Watch any 80's movie. What is the douchebag badguy in the multicolored tie with the oily ponytail driving? Yup- a Porsche 911. Or is that a Mercedes. What did the Detectives in Miami Vice drive? A Ferrari Testarossa. What about Magnum P.I.- Yup- a Ferrari Daytona. Italian cars are an instant lay with the female species because any douche can drive a bimmer, while someone kickass owns a Ferrari, because they are dick enough to build one less than is in demand. Besides- its a friggin' Ferrari!
Winner - Italian Cars
So... The winner is the Aryans of the auto world. Germany can outrun, outdrive and basically have its way with any manufacturer it wants, without even having to take it out to dinner (except France as of late.... damn Peugot).
Ironic fact of the day- Enzo Ferrari wanted to build the Ferrari F40 as a return to Ferrari dominanated racing. Turns out that the factory didn't back it up...so much for a dying mans dream eh?
