    All good...

    But if you're going to knock someone's skills then I simply think you should be able to back it up. Anyone can play armchair quarterback....

    It's nothing to worry about, just his gear box self destructing. Does the 'shop' do pick-ups?

    No Camaro or Mustang handy?


    1) He's a professional F1 driver.
    2) Notice all those strange orange/white stripped barricades separating him from everything else? Those are also what separates the OP's actions from Button's.

    So why should mustangs and Camaros only do donuts and not Ferraris?

    Sensible question or not?

    If sensible it's because a Mustang of Camaro will donut on the spot at a slower rate as they're a lot more nose heavy - the tail breaks free much more easily yet they have buckets of power. A mid engined car like a 348 has more weight over the rear wheels so you need more rotation to keep the back end going round and keep the front on one spot. If not you'll end up doing what the OP did ie more of a pretzel than a donut with the front end going round a circle rather than staying on one spot. Basically you want lots of power with the weight as far forward as pos which a v8 block provides.

    Read the thread. Referring to poster who appeared to be knocking camaro and mustang owners.

    I own neither but was wanting to know his reasons why Ferrari's seemed to be above doing donuts

    Which is a Mustang or Camaro because, due to the weight distribution, the rotation will be ....... hang on, we've been here before :)

    Guys is it fair to say some of us think it's a daft stunt given the location, others are impressed. I don't think anyone's saying you shouldn't donut a Ferrari because it's a Ferrari - I think that was just a misunderstanding.

    I think it just shows the vast difference in folks that a Ferrari appeals to in so many different ways.

    Some people like big butts some like boney ass, short tall etc. As long as you enjoy yourself is ALL THAT MATTERS .

    Damn these cars are fun :)

    Why is every person involved with every Teckademics/Mischief.tv video ever created not in jail right now? How about the countless street racing videos on youtube?

    Yeah, you're quite the law genius I see.
