Default Re: V8 Turbo Diary

well, said and some of it true...but since my "03, I don't think they have made that great of improvement to justify $100K car...and you can't enjoy it, unless you the $$$$$$$. I enjoy the XF and I can tell you first hand, you had better be a very good driver, because the guy who owns mine now, can't keep up the XF I have...and he does pretty well...don't slam something people can enjoy I have $40K in 2 cars I can enjoy and keep up with most of the exotics our here...and we have a host of them...$$$ can buy you the toys, but can you drive them????? The vette owners I ran with, babied theirs, and would never think of running them hard...too much invested in them to tear them up was always their response. I buy them to drive and enjoy...and like I said, I miss it from time to time...but I love the little cars I have, and they do just fine on the track, both round and straight....and it takes a lot more HP to out run the vert...so really, who has the better car....and I feel, from 1st hand experience, the snob appeal was with the vette crowd...
