Ferrari Mailing List: Re: New FList Poll- "What New Cars Have Balls?" was Re: Ken'sResponse to New Ferrari Classic Car Division

[LS (lashdeep]

The GT3RS does sound delicious...and the Ford GT is one car that I've
heard about time and time again as being visceral.

A funny comment overheard after one of those "Drive an exotic for 30 miles
and $2200" type events. "I love the features of the XXX, it felt so stable
with the stability control and traction control. The Z06 is junk, it felt
twitchy on the gas around the corners." 

Imagine that, needing to put some thought into flooring a 500bhp car
around a corner!
