575M Maranello Track Performance Disappointing

if you wanted a track car, the 575M was probably not your best choice. it's a pure GT - designed to drive from Rome to Milan at 150 mph. i imagine you can mazke its track performance better than you experienced, but that wasn't what it was really designed for.

doody.

 

I can only hope that one day I have the luxury of being able to complain that my new 150k+ ferrari just isn't what i was expecting and that I might just have to go and trade it in for a more sportier version. Only then[I'm sure..] can I possibly know what disappointment feels like....

 

This post must surely be a wind up!! Can,t believe what I have jut read.

 

I think you are right about the windup Dave If not maybe he will bring it to Silverstone next week

Dear Comrade RAY360M M8,

Perhaps the promoter of the 'Post' concerning the 575 will oblige us with a photograph of the aforementioend Ferrari. Clearly he has been 'sold a pup' . . . . is it perhaps a Reliant Robin in disguise? I am able to confirm that I did not observe a 575 at Mallory Park - this is not to say that one wasn't there, just that if there was, I did not see it.

It will seem slow compaired with the porsche on the track as most porsches get put in the vw beetle class on trackdays as it is very easy to get them mixed up as they look the same but go a little bit faster

 

Clearly you need to trade the heavy V12 for the more agile CS, If trackdays are your thing!!!!


How can you really compare the two cares ( 575 againts GT2) Apples and Oranges ......I knew id go a long way in fruit..

That is that im the TOP BANANA

 

D11vje Needs to fill a his profile cos at the moment looks like he dont want one, aint got one ,and never had one,

Probably some Porkchatter that Stevef upset the other week before he got banned by Noony!!!

 

Its not a wind up. He is a regular poster on the Gumball section of the BMW M5 forum and took part in this years Cannonball.

Don't know if this guy is for real, but the point is that a Maranello weighs too much to be a good track car. I don't know what a GT2 weighs, but I'm guessing that it is a lot less than a Shark.

Sad that the guy has to put up with juvenile slurs just because he doesn't like his 575 on a track.

I've driven both (through P1) and I'm surprised that he thinks it's worth the observation - As somebody already said the 575 is a true cross-continent GT, the GT2 is a barely disguised track car.

I'm sure a Caterham isn't that good for transporting wardrobes, but not sure the observation is worth sharing with the world.

 

Errrr... is that a juvenile slur? or is your slur a more mature slur Welcome to Fchat!

 

Neither. I'm not saying he's a fake or a fool, as others have, just that it's not the tyres or the handling pack, it's the car.

 

Dear Comrade D11VE:J

In that case it must be a good car after all!

My sincere apologies for being a doubting Thomas D11VE:J. Enjoy your day at Silverstone.

Regards,

David.

 

You got the wrong Handling package! You need the newest and most expensive (you cheap arse! ) HGTC package!!

 

Dear Comrade Dwrights M8,

Top Man for apologising. I apologise also. Hopefully D11VE:J. will forgive us for doubting him.
