Porsche left a speck in my rear veiw mirror! - barney100
I was driving the other day and this 300 bhp Porsche was trying to get past me....I floored the throttle and left him a speck in my mirror. Best drive of my life at a track day in Oxfordshire. I was in a 400bhp Ferrari 360 and I have to say I was thoroughly chastised by swmbo for suggesting we sell the house to buy the Ferrari.
I have never had so much power under my right foot and the feeling is tremendous as the beast just unleashes that raw energy. Also tried the Porsche-quick but civilised- a Subaru 4x4 which was amazing and best fun of all a Lotus Elise. That little car is crazy, only 120 bhp but is the weight of a matchbox and goes like stink. Now its back to the diesel.....................

A Ferrari or Porsche of whatever, if you want to experience real power, torque/thrust try flying a Eurofighter for your day job and playing cat & mouse with a couple of F-15s. Back on earth it's a joy to drive nice and easy and appreciate the beautiful countryside and warm fresh air breezing into the car.

So you're the one who disturbs my peace and quiet in my caravan in leafy North Yorkshire.

Tell you what, try flying your (our) Eurofighter over the sea.

Plus, if the F15 cat catches the Eurofighter mouse, the pair of you will only kill each other.

If you cover no more than 100 miles per day and have easy access to a charging point at home or work, then an EV is ideal for you.

Is an electric car right for me?
