Even if he did leave it for dead the owner of the f430 was probbly on his way back to his nice big house where his nice slim blonde wife with nice big fake tits was waiting for him, unlike the sierra owner who was probably heading back to nelson mandela house

[quote="Alps Pacino"]Even if he did leave it for dead the owner of the f430 was probbly on his way back to his nice big house where his nice slim blonde wife with nice big fake tits was waiting for him, thats a good description of the cosworth owner.

I have done a F355 on outright acceleration, off a roundabout not a standing start.

Ferrari performance figures are complete bullshit anyway.
That's why a certain famous german prosecuted them for falsely claiming ex amount of mph for the car he bought and it would do nothing like it.
I can't see what people see in them myself, give ame a decent bit of engineering like a porker anyday.
