Annoying Ferrari drivers

For those ten seconds or less, he's a redneck... ;)

I think I've mentioned this about a million times but my boss has a V12 Vanquish and he had the flappy things removed. At sounds amazing at idle, real presence, proper V12 growl. The weird thing is, it's very normal sounding from the inside, even when the loud pedal is to the floor.

im not sure to be honest, just got a new hx60 turbo on it with ported ex manifold, thing is HUGE turbos like a foot wide.

waiting for injector plate from the states to up boost to 70psi and go for 700hp.

but the clutch is dieing atm, its objecting to my full power launches.
launching in 5th gear is amusing mind :P , the truck had some american conversion when i got it, its a 10 speed allison box.


**oh to add, im 'hoping' to take it to runwhatyabrung at santa pod on the 1st if the bits are here
 
**** me i surrender you won i dont understand a word of that :)

It's more than a slight growl outside, it's pretty angry sounding. But even at constant high RPM you can hardly hear the crazyness going on outside the car when inside. It's a real high quality feeling cabin sound wise and after a good hoon you don't feel like you're gonna kiss the tarmac when you get out.

You guys don't have many new Ferraris in your towns do you? Old ones sound great, new ones sound unpleasant. Wouldn't even be so bad if they sounded even remotely like Ferrari GT race cars - but they don't :(

Ha! You really should check a users location before posting the above, round our parts of Cheshire we have no Ferraris, well except for the odd Enzo, oh and 458's and 599's plus just about every other model ever built, not rare at all, during the summer months its rare to drive to work without seeing a few of the newer models.

We seem to get more Phantoms than Bentleys even the Continental GT's seem to have gone out of fashion this year and been replaced with the new generation Maseratis. I'm looking forward to the McLaren garage opening, that's going to be epic!

However real men change gear, i've just spent the afternoon messing around in MX-5's took out a few 944's again, almost ended up with an S2 as a project car but it needed too much attention on the sills.

EH? I'd rather be "gay" in my 150K plus supercar and not break it/wear it quicker, than be concerned what the guy behind/side of me classifies as "gay". Because i would be driving a ferrari and he (probably) wouldnt be, otherwise he would understand in the first place!

If I had a Ferrari I would drive it like I would drive any car(ok probably a lot faster where the law permits), the whole "king of the road" thing is stupid. I'm sure if you were in the seat of a 599, enzo, 430 etc you would feel like the king of the road!
 
I don't understand why you would buy a super fancy car and then act like a ******* in it. All it proves is that you're a *******. Everyone can already see that you own a very nice car, so they're already going to be looking for clues that you're a ballbag, because that will sate their jealousy. Revving like an idiot or doing burnouts at the lights or whatever isn't going to help matters.
