    The points regarding vintage of a car, driving quickly, danger, and how much performance is actually usable are relative and not absolute per person.

    I doubt many will get to the speed for F80’s maximum downforce, but they will be able to take corners up in the hills much more safely at exciting speeds and engine response with the anti-slip and active balanced corners of the F80. More of the “race driver” feeling and less danger at the same time. Just like how F1 has progressed since the ‘60s.

    I have taken all of the Ferraris I have ever owned through the same windy hills with its alternating damp and dry patches, sometimes occluded sun, and random large birds. For sure, I have loved the excitement and confidence coming from increased performance while also being safer and easier to control.

    Zero to 60 and 1/4 mile times are just alienated data of the whole driving experience. What’s also simultaneously happened is continuously better engine response, braking, and handling. And aero. I don’t want the nose of the car lifting off like a short nosed 275. I don’t want the crashing experience. Lol.

    Along with the higher performance came better braking and engine response. That allowed me to maintain the excitement of the driving experience without the fear of the car losing it due to an unseen wet asphalt patch.

    Putting more horsepower in the car without increasing the other parts of the car would be an unsafe waste. I think you may be indirectly pointing this out. However, Ferrari is increasing the capabilities of the entire vehicle to be a cohesive whole. Not just pure power. I think that’s what’s getting lost.
