So I had a major blast at the Cresson tx track. It was a complex track with 2 steep hills. One down the other up. I got 7 laps in the Ferrari 458. I gotta say i didnt get s great track time at all. A few factors mostly excitement and distractions of paying attention to all the kool lightz gauges and really feeling the car for what it was rather than destroying it for my max potential track time. They said intermediate track drivers who come to that track for the first time get about 1.35 to 1.40 ... I did 1.38.
Though my track time was not great as we watched the video they were impressed with how smooth my transitions were in the hairpins. They said I made difficult turns look easy by comparison of other drivers. So I'm definitely going back and doing a multi car package. They just bought an MB AMG GTR I want to drive. Plus a GT3 and I wanna do the Ferrari again. I just gotta say. The dual clutch in a ferrari is phenomenal. I just cant get over the level of responsiveness out the DCT. And the sounds in a Ferrari are just insane. Steering is sublime with loads of feedback. The outward view is Camaro bad yet I've never heard one rich person complain. Go figure... lol. Maybe this is why they dont make sports cars for broke azz poor people? All the whining!! So visibility for me wasn't really an issue. The italia was everything I dreamed it to be. All my expectations of a modern ferrari were exceeded. The only thing I can compare it to is another Ferrari though. They do have lambos but they said. The lambo ferrari and AMG GTR are all track comparable. The porsche gt3 was recommended if I was to feel a true contrast to the ferrari. Having already driven a 911 and Cayman he sparked my interest. He said the GT3 is very different. He said it's a true track car. May I mention the car they have is the RS. So for christmas I think I'll do multiple cars. Going to a track when the index was 110 wasn't the ffunnest lol. But if you live in north texas and haven't tried the Cresson track. It's pretty awesome. It's not the greatest for high speeds like some of the other tracks out here. But if you wanna get your cornering game up? This is it. I think I'm gonna propose to my GF... She is just effin amazing!!

Lol...
Nah my lady... lol. That GT3 Look soooo good. Porsche has too many useless models and trim levels. Then charge too much for the true car. I dont know if a GT3 RS looks worth the price when sitting in a stable of comparable cars. But if Porsche sold these closer to $140 to 160k. I can see shelling out the money. Quote:

No worries man. I took it wrong. It happens.Just been getting a lil hostility from one or two members as of late n thought you were joining the bandwagon. My bad... ![]() Quote:
The 458 was so next level handling. I think reviewers spend to little time reviewing the function of the car and spend too much time talking about the speed and prestige of these cars. If th ed corvette truly benchmarks this car? I'll have no choice but to buy one... but theres no way a pushrod is going to redline at 9,000rpm. That was the best part. 125mph felt like 50mph. Body roll was non-existent. Forget the supercar looks. Truly a beautiful car in the experience of the drive.

![]() I had the chance to drive a track prepped Viper ACR with a sequential transmission for a whole session. Talk about a car that will either reward you with great lap times, or that will try to kill you at the first chance. I would love to try the 458. I just couldn't do just 7 laps or so.
