A friend of mine is a Maserati and Ferrari mechanic and he informed me many of these high-end sports cars can be quite a handful as far as driving under everyday street conditions. The power to weight ratio is high and many non-professionals cannot handle the power in conjunction with the clutch and shifting at the same time (too many were raised on automatics or econoboxes).
You don’t have to be that dimwit comedian Eddie whathisname to run a Ferrari into a Jersey block.
My friend said there are driving schools for Ferrari and Ford GT owners and too few take advantage of them. I found the same to be true of Land Rover (Range Rover, Discovery, LR3, etc.) owners. Too many think they’re invincible in their SUV and then drive themselves into conditions they cannot handle.
I’ve been to many a Porsche driving school. Driving on the edge is the point.

If you punch it you can lost control of it quick even on dry pavement...especially without traction control on.
There was a black celebrity recently who drove a Ferrari into the wall just putting around at a video shoot......at around 250K in damages...
