    I linked your thread so NOTHING is out of context. If you can't stop, you are going to fast, PERIOD. Curbs make lousy e-brakes. Just sayin'.

    The problem is the drivers, not the cars. Your statement that it could have happened in a Fiat 500e supports that.

    Horsepower is irrelevant when the drivers shouldn't be on the road in the first place.

    Unbelievable—— I guess u have a serious problem with me, since that testarossa thread, I asked the mods to ask u to stop and ignore me but u still do...
    Pretty sad it’s all u have to do...and no when a deer jumped infront of a car u can’t stop: period!
    I will put u back on ignore bc I have better things to do than answer ur personal attacks on this forum...

    Cars are bad. There is no point to be made here. It is a troll thread.

    Cars don’t kill people, people being stupid kill themselves or others. Same argument for guns, guns don’t kill people, people kill people.

    Your post is dead on. This is a subject for P&R. The OP needs to shell out a whopping $15 to continue this discussion if there even is one.

    You make a good point. Even my daily Saab is too fast, as it can easily do 150 mph...


    Even though you are absolutely right, and I say this as an ex Army Officer who owns several firearms, both guns and fast cars should be handled only by trained personnel. ;) BTW, guns unlike cars, were designed to kill, so this is not a perfect analogy.

    Being trained and being responsible are two different things. Actions have consequences. A highly trained driver can act irresponsibly just as easily as an untrained person.

    Firearms are usually designed not to harm or kill the operator if used responsibly. If firearms are used improperly or irresponsibly, that no longer holds true.

    This discussion really doesn't belong in this forum.

    It's not about the operator though, but about the whole purpose of a firearm, which is to inflict harm. Anyway, this discussion is indeed off topic.

    This indeed is a highly sophisticated troll thread. This belongs to P&R section. Please refrain from posting in this thread anymore in the 458/488/F8 forum where we are discussing Ferrari V8.

    Hell, now I miss the pista vs 720s discussion.

    My daily driver Demon has twice that hp and I use it all the time. Perfect for blowing by left lane losers on the highway!

    It is kinda about the operator. The automobile cracks the top 10 reasons for cause of death world wide and the gun does not. Perhaps we could argue "peace through strength" as the purpose for, and creation of the firearm. That or is really not used much for it's intended purpose (that being to kill people). Troll threads are grand.

    In a straight line for sure but honestly I’m the twisties it’s pointless. I had way more fun with my testarossa with 390 than the FF, Revs too fast, too quick. I think the perfect bhp is whatever the lotus and 4c have. To me power to weight ratio and size of the vehicle matter and with a smaller lighter car 400bhp is enough. At least imo.

    IMHO its not the bow, its the Indian. Responsibility should come with ownership.
