I think it usually comes down to who's willing to break the speed limit more than actually which car's "quicker".
Feeling a little ashamed now

Sorry, I speak from personal experience being the one without the bottle. You probably made their day. It's amazing how many windows you spot winding down as you overtake on motorways, I always assume so they can hear you rather than spit at you.Feeling a little ashamed now
Agree re the MPH... I tend just to sprint to 60/70 then ease off... most of the time you have come to a new set of lights or roundabout by then.
Saw a M3/4s and Golf R racing on the M4 yesterday... how they avoided a smash I will never know.
Not tempted. Nothing to prove.
Mine's a Maserati

I think a whole massive industry & people that live & die on that little 1/4 mile strip might disagree
This.
Reminds me of the New Yorker cartoon. "What do I do? I drive a Maserati" https://condenaststore.com/featured/what-do-i-do-i-drive-a-maserati-mischa-richter.html

Don't be; what's the point of having a super grunty performance car and not having the b4lls to drive It? It's a bit like having a cluncking great Rolex and not being able to tell the time. Such people are pr!cks.
At the more enthusiastic end of the speed limit, yes. But not on the way there. I'm pleased to see the Strad hung on all the way (and then some). It reminds me of Azapa's comments regarding his Strad and some version of a fire-breathing Porsche on a track day.
These cars hide their true capabilities just below the radar of Ferrari's ego, I think.
Rumour has it that the GTS has a bit more than 440bhp and the Strad has quite a bit more than 460bhp.
There's a group of yoofs near me who are setting up a cheap rolling road day for their souped up motors in a month or so, I might take the GT down there just to see what it actual produces.
Although if it falls way short of 440 I'll be a little embarrassed.
Is she saying that on the road or the bedroom?! Or both?
