Ha, I'd shrivel up and die of embarassment.

Total knewb mistake - 0.0001% of people can effectively drive this caliber car with the safety nannies off. And he totally looks like a GM VP ;).

Cars like this are the fighter jets of the automotive world (I think?)

They are inherently unstable. Turning off the nannies is like taking a bolt or two out of the suspension linkages. Only a matter of time before the hurt comes.

Was that leaked somewhere?  I know the ZR1 unofficially lapped faster than the GT, but haven't see anything.

Nice.

So ZR1, the Huracane, Civic Type R, the Ford, new GT3 (hopefully they run both PDK and 6spd), V8 Vantage?  Not sure what else came out this year.

720S and GT2 RS as well.  Big surprise car for next year which should be interesting.

Oh, I  think there are lots of add'l good candidates - both new and significantly refreshed: Golf R, TT-RS, RS3, RS5, Mustang GT, M5, E63S, Challenger Hellcat Widebody, Civic Type R.

The widebody was there for sure

So the ZR1 loses to the GT2 RS by 1 point in the August Issue of C&D. But C&D reduced the points given for AS TESTED PRICE from 20 to 10 to give this test to the fancy Beetle. As tested the Porsche cost $204,920 MORE than the ZR1!

I have always hated the mags scoring. Is C&D the rag with the "Gotta Have It" factor? Average auto journalist takes pride in NOT owning cars and just living off the manufacturers' collective teat

I can't imagine that anyone with 599 GTB money is picking a ZR1 over one, unless they just love America that much :neverforget:

Depends if they're actually a car person or a poseur.

I would do it if I had an obnoxious friend with a 599.
Maybe we need to start off small. I mean, they don't let you fuck the glumpers at Glumpees without a level 4 FuckPass, do they?

Sure, but most Ferrari buyers are just buying the badge.

Corvettes can be run and maintained for track days without flying in factory mechanics and 4,000 dollar brake jobs.

Ferraris are 100% about the badge. Take any era Ferrari and the equivalent Corvette, and the Corvette is the vastly superior vehicle to own (i.e., repair and modify). It's not even a discussion.

And a Civic Si is a vastly superior vehicle to own than either....................................................

The vast majority of Corvette owners have about 3% of the talent to utilize its capabilities.................................

This argument's logical conclusion reduces to nonsense.
