You're right, it does feel good. Never had the good fortune of running up against a Ferrari but I have surprised many with DSM's I've owned as well as other cars.

Straight line acceleration is the number one performance stat everyone focuses on. That was all I cared about until about 12 years ago when I found out how much fun it was hitting the brakes and turning corners. For those that have never participated in a high speed driving event, open track day, or driving school like they have at Brainerd, I highly suggest it. You don't have to have a fast car, just a safe one cause it's not about the car. Try it sometime. Everything you learn up there can be applied to the street and WILL make you a better driver.

Not that I condone this kind of activity but if guys are looking for a serious challenge, keep an eye out for a dark blue Porsche 911 with license plate "IT RIPS", a silver Porsche GT2, and an atomic orange Z06 with license plate "ATOMICZ". These guys take on all comers.

I went to a BIR driving school day and recommend it as well. A day on the road course would beat a day at the strip anyday.
