    So one second faster on a 1 minute track is not fast enough for you and even though that proof is grounded in reality you have somehow managed to find a away to counter argue and speculate that the F296 is faster, brakes and turns better LOL I tracked and extensively drove both cars, if you came to that conclusion yourself after doing the same we must’ve had different experiences or possibly different driving styles or abilities.

    My friend, drive what you like I honestly don’t care, all I was doing, for the benefit of the OP, was provide information based on my own hands on experience which hopefully they might find helpful because the internet is full of misinformation.

    You provided your opinions and feelings, which is valuable, but apparently you have difficulties to cope with different views... LOL as you said.
    I did drive both cars on track, that's a Ferrari instructor who advised me to "LICO" with the SF90 - which was certainly not the case with the 296 (with which I could typically apply the brakes later than what was initially advised, switching directly from full throttle to braking).
    0.8s on a 1'10 lap is something, but put in the perspective of 280 hp more and better tires, I maintain it's not that impressive, and is most probably achieved mainly by better acceleration on turns exits (thanks to the higher power and 4 WD) - rather than in braking or cornering speeds (that's very logical given the respective characteristics of the cars, and does not contradict my feelings - which are what they are).

    I don’t have anything to add for OP, but wanted to say thanks to @Fortis for providing his input as an owner of both cars. Not often do you get someone who owns both cars that has so many miles with both road and track use. I’m excited to see how the Temerario ends up comparing to these cars. I have extremely high expectations for that car

    Also, @sm1810 beautiful collection as well.

    Good thread, I love seeing these cars and reading about them.

    Waiting for @Jo Sta7 to put the Contis on one of these days and compare the dragy times :D
