Too bad the guy wouldnt race. On a side note though 2 weekends ago i saw a 575 maranello on the highway go ripping past me at like 100 mph so I followed him for a bit (camaro sold so I was driving my g35x). Car looked and sounded sweet and was a metallic silver color, however as we are crusing along all of a sudden I see a pair of strange tail lights in the right hand lane about to get off at an exit and wouldnt you know it, a black lambo murcielago! I couldnt believe it, and it was too bad he was taking an exit as I would have loved to see the two of them go at it.

Always remember you can't force someone to race you. There may have been a good reason on his behalf. Ligten up and better luck next time.

You guys gotta understand, that these Ferrari's..lambo's...whatever, are pretty much, built to the hilt, save for forced induction...etc etc. hence, the numerous visit's to the delaership,....the lack of "daily driver" capability, although SOME owners do drive there cars every day.
That said, there isn't MUCH room for improvement,...unless you go with some sort of a power adder, and , in this case, nitrous or a turbo setup would be the only route.
It's not like you can call FERRACCI'S SPEED SHOP...and order a stroker kit or something. Or camshafts for that matter. Ya know?... Anways....these cars and ones alike are the only reason I have my car. Not too many feelings like robbing some chump in a 200+ thousand dollar car, of his pride. Nope, not much like it.

Lol, do you honestly think they care if your $30000 F-body is faster? Will it handle? Is every stitch in the seat hand-woven? Does it get you into any social you choose to go to? Speed is the last thing a lot of these guys consider. If all they wanted was factory performance, they would buy a C6Z. They are after refinement and exclusivity. They could care less if you pull them on the freeway or from a stoplight. jmho

There is room for improvement on them too. I know one guy (not personally) that has gained roughly 40 whp on a Gallardo from only exhaust and a tune.
If I ever have the money for an exotic I will definatly have one. There definatly awesoem machines. Everytime I see one or ride in one I get that drive to work harder so that I can.

I strongly dissagree with you.
Yes, they buy it for the reasons you mentioned but, in the end, they are still human, and where once, all kids. They know how it is to play sports, they know how it is to be in fights,...and they know well enough, or have ENOUGH MOTZZI (*****) in the to know they they didn't go out and buy they're "200 mph" car, to get beat by a car that is rated at, lets say 180mph.
You can't tell me they don't get pissed. Your generalizing. Yes, one or two, that are over 60, won't give a ****. The rest of the young bucks....trust me, they care. I've experienced it firsthand. on numerous occasions.

I have riden in a Murcie and Gallardo and the only thing that would keep me from driving it daily would be the visibility out of the Murcie, the Gallardo I would.

They do break,...do some research and you will see. Even motor trend, or car and driver broke the lambo on numerous occasions. All cars break, ...one way or the other. But, if it gets driven like a BITCH it's whole life, the only problem your gonna need to worry about is which air freshener to use.
I have nothng against exotic's....they just happen to be my target.

I love how ferrari literally puts there Formula 1 technology into there production cars........brakes,paddle shift, chasis, etc.
id like to seem then use those titanium gear boxes and anti-stalling devices, as well as the self extinguisher in one of there concepts.
