Default Ferrari

why do they never put there foot down, just stuck behind what i think was an f430 might have been a 360 as well not sure.

Any way nice big strech of dual carriage way would have loved to have had a little play the guy just pulls out in to the right hand lane and tootles along for a good mile. prob me being far to immature.lol

I always used to find the same when i had my motorbike, the ferrari owners never wanted to play ball, but i used to find porsche drivers used to like to play a bit more.

Came to a roundabout on the way to the pod last year and a 599 came round and drove steady off it. Once we were doing about 40-50 he planted it and left me a bit. Bit of late braking into the next roundabout to catch him a bit then the same again.......up to about 100 he was pulling slowly away but once past that no chance! Being four up didn't help mind! Some do play just not many.

It seems fezza owners generally don't as already said. Whilst quite a few porka owners do..

The best one for me was a new GT3 (stunning)..

Lets just say I was mildly pleased..

If I had spunked £100K+ on a car, I would drive it at 5mph everywhere so everyone could see me in it !

But seriously, Porsches do seem to be more of a 'driving enthusiasts' car, whereas most Ferrari owners are probably scared to do more than 3000 rpm in case something breaks and it has to spend another 2 months in the garage being fixed.

I would say the majority of prancing horse owners are 50+ years of age.
Far to mature for racing on public roads

i agree,my dad has driven a 360 on a track as well as mine and although mine is only around the 310 bhp,he said mine felt much faster!
the F430 however could be a different story

This thread certainly makes a change from the usual ones from Subaru owners moaning about people in inferior cars trying to race them!

That may have something to do with the 'torque rush' that a turbo'd motor gives. A high revving NA engine will not feel as torquey and will deliver its power in a more linear fashion, giving the impression that the car is slower, when in fact it is not.

Wanna bet sunshine?

Seriously, just wind your window down when a Ferrari goes past, listen, then say you don't want one.

I guess he could be running it in, just enjoying it, or wishing people in ordinary cars would stop trying to goad him into racing - they stand out so much they must feel like police magnets!
