Difference between a modern Ferrari and a normal car?

[piyush1]

I am doing a persuasive speech on why you should buy a Ferrari.

I need to know what are the major things that differentiate normal cars (civics, camrys) from Ferraris. What are things that make a Ferrari special?

Also, may someone also tell me the difference between Ferrari and Lamborghini?

buying a Ferrari shows you may have a lot of money. If you dont have a lot of money, you wont have Ferrari very long.
from a practical standpoint...there is no reason to own one. lousy mileage, many sit very low and just going through a drive-thru with one can damage suspension and/or body components. they are loud, although the exhaust note is particularly pleasant. The streets in Colorado are pretty rough, I couldnt imagine driving one too far in one and being very comfortable here.
I have only driven a couple and both were fairly stiff and jerky.
If you buy one, you better get caught up on all of your ferrari heritage, history and particulars of your car. exotic car owners can be really weird about this. It isnt my cup of tea, but there are a lot of people who really eat that stuff up and shun you if you dont care.
they can be tricky to shift as some gates are not really made for shifting quickly like on your toyota celica you drive now.
If garaged and relegated to driving on the best-of-weather days, it can make a great conversation starter for you and your neighbors.
Possibly a decent investment, if not really driven, but maintained in immaculate condition. which, to me kind of is a good argument for not owning one if money is an issue.
They are wickedly beautiful and great to gaze at while day dreaming that you are cruising around steep, narrow, twisty european roads.
from what i have noticed in my years in the automotive world, the more, expensive, exotic cars one owns, the more irrational and crazy one becomes.
As for why they are different than "normal" cars, that is easy. You will drive over a curb in your volvo at 30 mph to snag that $5 bill that flew out of your window. Normal cars are practical. Cheap(er) and usually no big deal when the day is over. Most people brag about how many miles are on their camrys, while lack of mileage is usually the plus to an exotic. pretty moronic isnt it. you spend $300000 on a car that you want to drive like crazy, but cant/shouldnt to protect the investment, but you try to put as few miles on your passat because you're afraid of paying those nasty surcharges for over-mileage on the lease. And in the back of your head you know that every mile that ticks off, means more money you are going to have to put into fixing that piece of cr%p.
you are going to have to talk to the owners of lambo's and ferrari's to get your last answer. I can give you the particulars about who own who and what not, but in the end, they still just look drop dead gorgeous in magazines.
