Looking COOL.

 

Very subtle Chin, well done! I declare you ‘stylist to Aussie Fchat’!

 

Nice day, the Pies won, might take the Porker for a run down the beach to Mt Martha .

Finished the run in-period of the Emira a few days ago.
Had the oil and filter changed (even thought it’s not required), and yesterday took it for a first proper run.

Fair dinkum, I didn’t even even run it to red line or give it full beans, but it astounds me that anyone could think they need more speed in a road car.
It is bloody quick, and way quicker than the 355 (which I already I thought was well and truly fast enough for the road).

I think the numbers are very deceiving and probably due to the manual gear-change more than anything else.
This would definitely be a sub 4 second car with a proper flappy-paddle gearbox.

On a track, sure, you may want more. But beyond willy-waving I can’t see why anything faster is required in a road car.

Or am I getting old?

 

I agree 400hp is just right for a road car that weighs under 1500kg.

And yes, you're getting old

 

I like 600, and 1750.[emoji3][emoji3][emoji3]

Oh, and AWD.

I acknowledge the waving of your willy.

But I am curious as to how and when on a public road you can really use that amount of speed without being a total dickhead.

I’ve driven several modern Ferraris and had an awesome ride in a 458SP, all of which are obviously faster than the Emira, but after today I find myself wondering when or why you would really need that extra speed?

Don’t want to sound like a soft-cock and I’d buy a 296GTS in a heartbeat if I could afford one, but I just found myself wondering if there’s a point at which extra speed capability is utterly pointless on a public road.

The other thing that frightened the Hell out of me as I was driving sedately home and thinking about the performance on offer is that I realised that clueless virtue signalling morons can buy a glorified washing machine that makes the Emira look like a tortoise in terms of straight line speed.

How is that a good thing for safety on our roads? Scary, scary stuff.

 

I have never met a horsepower I didn’t like.
