    Enthusiast must mean martyr?

    Nobody “needs” these cars we are discussing.

    Ha!

    I am definitely not an enthusiast either. I am enthusiastic, however! :)

    I probably had my first sports car before you were born. Who appointed you the judge in defining an enthusiast? Can you even drive a manual transmission?

    All because he said it doesn’t make it so. He also said it a long time ago- much has changed. He also hated the F12- which watching his video was very odd. Regardless, I owned and loved my 458 for 7 years. I sold it because the brakes sucked and occasionally failed. The steering besides being hyper active was somewhat numb. It was and still is a great (and imperfect) car. The engine was peak 8 cylinder N/A.

    Semantics, nobody "needs" more money past the point of basic survival. The moral of the story is, it is idiotic to say you don't need any more power when you could simply have it without having the need or want of deploying it, therefore I never get the argument but hey, it is what it is.
