I am not sure about this ...
"slow car fast" syndrome. To me it felt more like fast cars feel slow.
Maybe I need one for the incoming mid-life crisis ... who knows 
Maybe I have to try one of your super fast cars, one day
Maybe there are already enough addictions in my own small luxury world
...
Cheers,
Oliver

A Super Car versus a Driver's Car - one of the most succinct descriptions I've ever read
With the inexorable intrusion and "progress" of digital technology into the world of automotive (and powersports in general) engineering ( automotive.watchprosite.com ) as well as the inescapable kowtowing to the government and mandated safety and...
(the fastest are still fastest, but the unskilled and untrained are closing the gap
This is my big big issue, we see it in the world of motorbikes too... as a rider, I like the fact I can go faster, safer, but part of me feels as though I am cheating.... I should be riding a bike without any electronic aids.... I remember once at my loca...
It's that trend that scares me...
Hi, ik2000, I don't care when an individual makes a personal choice to drive the GT-R or 458 at what used to be professional speeds and then get out and think, "hey, I can be competitive in F1!" but the trend you imply in the last part of your sentence is...
The best time I spent in a car ...
was when driving a Porsche 356 Super 90 in the alps. Tried several modern (basic, nothing fancy) Porsche´s and was not impressed, to make it short. Even high speed feels somehow boring. Some years ago I drove to a Porsche dealer with my MX 5 from 1999 and...
It's not just you.
Hi, Oliver, No, it's not just you... :-) What you described is the "slow car fast" syndrome - "I'd rather drive a slow car fast than a fast car slow" Not everyone agrees, and those that tend to like the later tend to be focused on either the quantitative ...

Slow car fast
The most pleasure I have ever had behind a wheel was in a 1969 Mini Cooper S. It always felt faster than it was, but it handled well, even if the brakes were a little dodgy. After that a first generation MX-5 still brings a smile. These cars felt like I w...
the "slow car fast" syndrome
"What you described is the "slow car fast" syndrome - "I'd rather drive a slow car fast than a fast car slow"" I am already seeing that. Yes the Evora is a great car, but to let her roar I'd need to be on a track. I could push Elise to her limit on certai...
All i can say is ...
.. that my most epic drive for 2013 was a one mile trip in a late 90ies Suzuki Swift with a 75 hp 1300 cc engine ... :-). This could lead to several conclusions ..... 1. There isn't much to happen on Belgian roads ... 2. I'm a poor bugger that can't affor...
A true purist perspective...
I'm not a purist in this regard. And if there was a car company that made a car to reflect the skill level of the pilot, boy would I only be driving it in a straight line. I want my (electronic) nannies! Except for when I'm in a go-kart on a track that's ...
