Re: Ferrari has been cheating on every automotive test for the past decade.

Owned. Well according to him they did have videos pictures and stats. Thats ridiculous. . .They should put up a modified Evo still street able and destroy a Ferrari, in a straight line battle how it was mentioned in the article. Top gear already did one versus the lambo. . the part two was rather not so encouraging to the Mitsu community.

Re: Ferrari has been cheating on every automotive test for the past decade.

This sounds more like a rant article then anything.

"Internent doesn't keep secrets" but it really can't tell the truth without facts either.

If he really wanted to blow this cap, name tests , names, instances, letters, quotes and not just some rants...

Sounds like someone had some bad relations with Ferrari and now is mad at them

Re: Ferrari has been cheating on every automotive test for the past decade.

I wouldn't be surprised. People way over hype how fast these ferrari's are. I'm sure they are fast but I'd love to get into a conversation how one can make a Ferrari (MODEL) hit that 1/4 time because those are just numbers but when YOU drive it, I'm almost positive it will take you a good day to launch one of these things. I also like it how people really think these have that amount of HP at the wheels, wherein the real world, we know that those HP numbers are definitely not at the wheels.

This test won't stop Ferrari's from making panties drop. I'd still rock one.

Re: Ferrari has been cheating on every automotive test for the past decade.

In the big scheme of things I doubt that many people beat on their Ferraris. There probably aren't a lot of owners that'd notice the difference.

Re: Ferrari has been cheating on every automotive test for the past decade.

Big deal, that's a 470awhp 1G DSM time there. Yep, I am a Ferrari hater. Overhyped crap, I have always been a Lamborghini fan for the straight up ridiculousness and Porsche fan for the actual real work performance.
