Default Yellow Ferrari... kill?

So yesterday I was comming home from work and I see this yellow Ferrari (A spider I think), so I follow him up the entrance ramp and onto 59. I speed up and get by his side to see if he wants to play, but he ****** out and slows down and gets into the right lane. So he stays behind me for a while and I eventually pull into the right lane too (in front of him) and slow down to see if I could manage to get him to run. Then he tries to pass and the fun starts. I see him in my rearview hit it. I am in second going like 35 and I hit it too. He pulls on me and gets a little in front of me and then, once I got into my rmp range, I start to pull on him. I shift a little early and go into third by then I am a little bit in front of him and pulling slow. I see a car up ahead in my lane so I slow down and the Ferrari drives off and exits, and I went home happy.

A little jealous are we? Not everyone cares about speed. A Ferrari is much more than a straight line performance vehicle. I find it amusing how you look down on a car that's much more expensive than yours. Shouldn't it be the other way around?

BTW, that is a very nice kill. It's always fun messing around with the exotics.

Could have been a 355 spider also, you have to appriciate a ferrari especially at the first corner, that long straight, and when it comes time to stop. Talked to a guy just the other day who tried to follow a porsche into a corner in his C5, lets just say the porsche was gone before he even got around the corner. Its always nice to know that you can take some of them to about 120-140.

Overpriced? Try challenging any Ferrari from a 120 roll.

Ferraris are topend track cars, not drag racers or corner carvers (but they're pretty damn good in every aspect, if you ask me...)

Ferraris don't bother me at all. A 422 with a Grand Am Cup cam makes me feel good when I roll past them.

I'm not jealous at all. Granted, some of those Spyder drivers care about the luxury and prestige that comes with owning the original Stallion. However, they shouldn't try to roll on us without knowing what we pack. I live near enough to DC that I see these idiots all the time. What would you rather risk? Would you rather try some unsafe high speed maneuvering in a car with a base price of $30,000 or $360,000?

I can't wait until I come across my first Enzo.

Yeah, that sounds about right, but thats only grip... Thats not taking into consideration how soft/stiff the suspension is, and the body roll, and things like that, that are also determinants of overall handling.

Nah what pisses me off is people that buy one of these cars, act like dicks, then get beat by a car that cost maybe 1/5 of thiers and still act like dicks. Just because you have money doesnt mean you have to be stuck up about it...I plan to be rich, and when I am I'll probably buy something of the sort however you still have to be grounded
