Well see, that's exactly why I think the early version of the F40 is the high water mark of the era; you learned how to deal with that explosive performance on its terms- or it would blow up in your face.

Driven well, nothing could catch it. Driven poorly, it would kill you. Bad drivers should stick to Corvettes.

A new era is dawning even now; the Tesla Model S in top 'ludicrous' trim can already suck the doors off just about anything with an internal combustion engine in the 1/8. Finishing the job in the quarter is all but an afterthought in terms of design; Basically, better cooling for the power controller and a software update.

And to think I used to want a Buick Regal GNX. Remember those pigs? LOL

And that Fiorano looks like a Corvette.

I'll take the GNX. Refined power is nice but I don't get that visceral, adrenaline pumping reaction from it. Nothing like an unruly big block to stand the hairs up on my neck. Like this. .LOLOLOLO!

The early F40 was not 'refined' in its power delivery, unless you call being rear ended by a freight train subtle!

I can imagine that in the hands of someone with actual skill, the F40 would be like nothing else.
But that isn't me. I'm a below-average driver.

That is why I chose the Corvette clone. I can probably keep it looking "not crashed" much longer.

Ohhh, and il cansone di dodici! Enzo was a big fan of the Song of the Dozen.

:dunce: I was thinking of a GSX, not the GNX. I'd take the F40 over the GNX, sell it and buy the GSX..LOL. Different cars evoke different emotions in people. I've always been impressed by the higher end sports cars, but they're not for me. If the flat earth is surrounded by an ice wall, can we race on it?

it's just gotta be a joke.
Everything in physics is predicated on spheres... Hell everything in LIFE is predicated on spheres, from cells, to embryos, elctrons, neutron, nucleas... it's all spheres or circular motion...
The earth wouldn't have life without the moon. and the moon rotates around the earth...
I'm resisting the urge to post my zoolander quote...
Ok... can't resist

you need to look at molecules my friend.
They aren't flat. just like the earth isn't.
But you aren't fooling anybody... No way you actually think the earth is flat..
that's just asinine and obtuse.
you don't NEED to look at the molecular structure of things to know this...
Look at your shadow...
look at the moon and it's stages.. the tides....
I'm only patronizing this argument out of boredom...
I refuse to believe a person can ACTUALLY believe this..

just is easier to repeat that same shit, when this thread keeeeeeps going..

I'm convinced he's just a brilliant troll. No one like the person he portrays could even dress themselves. I'm also convinced that he does not have the ability to garner positive attention, so as to not be forgotten nor ignored, he comes up with the most ludicrous ways to get negative reactions. SO much better than no social interaction. Here's a paragraph from an article @tangerinegreen555 posted yesterday...


"When children consistently can’t get a response, they get desperate. Abandonment threatens a child’s emotional and physical survival. Lacking enough positive interaction, a child will develop negative tactics to re-engage the adults. Being scolded, nagged, reminded, and punished is far better than being ignored. By finding ways to be personally addressed by an exasperated or angry adult, the child makes sure that at least he isn’t forgotten."

I don't mean this in a really bad way, but this type of thing crossed my mind a few times in ss/p. Maybe one thing that gets overlooked here is that we can't really see the age gaps. Just think about what the over 50 crowd thinks of whippersnappers like me and etc. :oops: :)
