Re: Look what I ended up with.....
The Ferrari and the Spyker are two completely different cars.

The Ferrari is highly refined and you cat attain incredible speeds easily. Everything is honed and fine-tuned, airodynamically and electronically enhanced.

The Spyker is exactly the opposite. Everything that can be mechanically solved is kept simple. You work that car and that makes it a completely different experience. The Spyker is closer to a vintage Ferrari, but then with modern components.

Dependent on where you want to go, you can pick your weapen.

I was going to say "you lucky guy" but I guess you 've worked hard for it, so "well done" and enjoy it. A lovely piece.

Interesting - with what they cost I was expecting the Spyker to be loaded with electrical drivers aids and therefore be a more 'remote' driving experience - goes to show you learn something new everyday

Nice sound track; but what was it trying to show. Begins by it zooming off - but then gets stuck in a traffic jam

Kevin,

The weight difference makes a huge difference. The Spyker is a whopping 550LB (250kg) lighter. That makes it feel more like a go cart. Closer to a Noble than to a Ferrari

Are you sure it wasn't Toto?
