    Wouldn't bother me at all. There are lots of vehicles than can "outperform" a F430 in a straight line for a short distance.

    A $12,000 Kawasaki ZX14 motorcycle would destroy a F430 at the dragstrip. It really doesn't matter because no serious drag racer would buy a F430 for the strip. Wrong tool for the job.

    I dislike these types of comparisons.....ha, but for some reason everybody loves to compare their stuff to a Ferrari and prove it is better in one aspect.

    To me, it looked like the Ferrari had to start on wet pavement.

    Since both raced in the wet, they should have a rematch in the dry to see how it turns out.

    I dont think the commercial is to show how slow a ferrari is, but rather just how quick their product is compared to other competitors. So for the purpose of the commercial is a good way to show how quick their watercraft is. I must say 0-50 on a seadoo is pretty quick.

    i'd feel like i had a ferrari f430 and the other guy had a seadoo. By the way, that guy got ripped if he paid 300k for a 2007 f430. thank god they didn't do 0-100. then the seadoo boy would have lost and gone home on a seadoo.

    I always like how many videos are on youtube of people proving how much better/faster/more-powerful than they are over a Ferrari.
    How many videos are out there of ppl "proving themselves" against vetts or p-cars or ??? Not nearly as many.

    To prove oneself, you always have to go up against the best. I take this more of a compliment than a slam.

    Oh no! My world has crashing down over this 90 second video. I can no longer be a Ferrari fan because another vehicle is faster. So where is seadoochat?

    Honestly who the f@ck cares?

    If anyone has ever ridden on an rxp or rxt seadoo you know how fast these are. They are the fastest thing on the water up to 70mph.
    I beat every single boat on the water down at the lake a couple years ago. 900 hp cannot compete with these on the water.
    There is no reason to compare this to a ferrari. Stupid.

    In all fairness, shouldn't the Ferrari be in the water, for a true comparison? If it was, then I would surely be even more embarassed as a Ferrari owner.

    What's next? Can a Ferrari carry more gravel than a dump truck?

    Assuming I was fortunate enough to be driving the car...

    Dry and on my way to 300 km/h ?

    I agree, it's interesting the lady is wearing a Ferrari top, assuming is an ad for the seadoo.

    Just so they can be even more embarassed?

    What is the point of comparing a pwc to a road car?

    Methinks you missed the point of my humor. That's okay. Not everyone will get it. ;)

    My shoes are lighter than your bicycle, and their manufacture consumed less energy and created fewer emissions than your bicycle's manufacture. I win. lol :p

    Lets spend our time more wisely shall we? Like arguing NSX vs. 348, or Ginger vs. Maryann?

    Iam not impressed with the Smart car cause the ferrari was stock and that was modified. Like Iv'e been saying for many years now stock vs modified is retarded like those guys on pinks who go talking trash and then ask rich for 20car lengths in the race give me a break. Id love to see that try and play with a Novtec F430 TT, now thats a race but this right here is a bullsh!t race.
