Better in some ways? Certainly. Better in "every single way"? Absolutely not. More civilized and disengaging from the driver does not equal "better" AT ALL.

Ya, most people never believe me when I tell them the Gallardo I drove on the track was not very impressive. It had ok acceleration, the transmission was a POS, and it was just not a thrilling drive.

I don't know why that guy immediately assumed you never drove a Lambo, guess he's new here.

Haha yes this x1000. All of this Audi AWD nonsense needs to stop. Plus if the car has an electronically controlled AWD system why can't they program it without the understeer?

Bisimoto is pretty reliable with their info. I'm unsure as to what to think. It doesn't sound like it has 1029. But they barely got into it which is a good thing. Because I feel 1029 to the front wheels of that wouldn't end well.

And the crazy part is that it is actually smaller than the Enzo. How bad (or blind) of a designer/engineer do you have to be to make this car look this bad. I never really thought the Enzo was a looker, but goodness, they managed to make the LaFerrari much uglier.

I've been in some brutal road/race cars and it was an incredible/horrifyingly experience. On the flip side, I've been in full on race prepped cars (as a passenger) on a track and it was a thing of beauty. The shear speed of a race prepped 991 going into corner 2 at Mosport is something words cannot discribe.

That drive sure didn't look like much fun - starting with the two-ended grind coming out of the parking lot!

Based off the MC12 I've been in and the FXX, yea. Lethargic. The cars want to be at speed, anything that isn't track level flogging and the cars just seem...out of place?

They really, really want to be abused and they become so alive when you do.

In truth, Maserati made 12 examples of the MC12 Corsa, itself a racing version of the impossible MC12. And the MC12 was an even rarer Maserati-fied version of the Ferrari Enzo, itself a Hope Diamond of a car.

God Bless them. And I thank them for pushing and sometimes finding the limits of the envelope. Don't die on the couch.

Oh. Well then, I have no clue. Down here, there's a mint-condition, stock black Supra with a clutch pedal that's driven by a 65-year old lady. I know because I talked to her one time when she was filling up her tank beside me at a gas station and I just couldn't get over the awesome dichotomy of it.

416 Represent!

I'm far beyond crazy.

You're kidding, right? Please tell me you're joking.
