Never ever respond to a traffic light challenge when in a supercAr. Ever. Nor on the motorway or anywhere else really. No point at all.

Only time I have "kept up" with other vehicles might have been on deserted mountain roads with bikers that know what they are doing and keep safe distance. Anything else is idiotic.

Looks like the yanks are having a try too at driving these great cars badly

http://www.foxnews.com/auto/2017/01/18/alleged-dru...

A witness stated that the vehicle was traveling more than 100 mph as it passed over the bridge on Red Bud Trail headed toward Westlake Drive. The vehicle failed to make the first turn (no surprise there) and continued straight into the woods. It then went airborne for 40 feet, flipped over in the air, and landed facing the way it went in, but on its side, down a 40-foot ravine.
Amazingly, the three occupants in the vehicle suffered only minor injuries; however, the driver was later arrested for driving under the influence.

checklist

100mph ... tick
airbourne 40 feet .. tick
flip ... tick
40 foot ravine ... tick
drunk .... tick

3 people .... extra tick ... must have been crowded, or do US Speciale have a bench seat in the front ? biggrin


He was only 28 also, where have I gone wrong with my life being a sad old git who fails to drive any nice car at all.....
