Everyone (outside XF owners) goes on about how powerful the 350Z is, how fast the TT is, how the s2000 handles better...
The XF is the complete package... handles great, is fast enough for road driving, looks fantastic and is individual.
I am always reminded of my Ferrari racing days - I was under track tuition for my race license and was told that my instructor could whip me round the track in his old ford mondeo...
So I challenged him, thinking I would whoop his A$$!!!
Sure enough, I never saw him in my mirror ! because he was in front... ALL the time...
Speed is nothing without ability and he proved that a smooth, fast line with talent can whip any supercar.
Exactly, isn't it strange when people see a supposedly slower car out performing more exotic machinery, the questions that get asked are along the lines of 'is it chipped?', 'what engine is he running?' etc. The assumption never seems to be that the guy just knows how to drive the thing better than the guy with the 'faster' car.
