When I got my current car a year ago it was making about 600 whp and felt fast AF. Got used to that, added some boost, now it's making 750 whp and I'm already at the point where even that just doesn't feel that fast anymore.
Yes. Power becomes 'normal'. But then you dont drive it for a few days and come back to it and you are like... 'wow this thing is fukin fast!'. My Huracan was fast. Faster than a Hyabusa. This thing will make my Huracan feel like a HondaI am a little afraid of it. That kind of power needs to be respected. My huracan was AWD, so it was much more predictable. Even driving a stock 720 can be a handful. It is the first car that scared the sh!t out of me in a long time. I made the mistake of getting on it too much pulling onto the highway at 50mph and the a$$ end started to totally walk on me. It was not my car so I breathed a sigh of relief that I did not go off the road. They can be pretty NASTY! Which is why I am excited to have one. Certainly wont be a car that is 'boring'. The Mac has a 'drift' mode where you can set the computers to allow a certain amount of drift while sill keeping stability control intact.

Only place I might be tempted to shut off SAS is on the track and that would be to play a little where if I go off, I am not hitting a curb. Not sure if I will take this to the track or not. If it was stock, I might, but this is really too much power for a track car. And we have 2 other cars for the track that we are building for that purpose. But it would be fun to do it just one time

Of course my friend. One of the best things about having things is sharing them with your kids. Nothing better in life and fuk those parents who make their kids feel like material things are more important than they are. A quick snap of my kids following me to a car event a while back.

I told the dealer that I did not want to drive it. I did not want to be influenced and I wanted the PPI and negations done before we talked money. I also 100% trust my mechanic who is also a good friend of mine and worked for McLaren for 6 years. If he says it is good...I know I wont be disappointed.

This will be fun at night watching the light from the flames bounce off the rear wing. One of the most fun parts of driving this car is the GIANT wing and active aero. When you hit the brakes hard, it goes almost vertical and completely blocks out your rear view. Something you never get tired to seeing. Just a cool and very fun car.

Happy B-day to you ID. I too turned the big 5-0 this year (early Jan).

Beautiful car.

Business partner has had 3 Ferrari's. 458, 488, and now his wife is driving a Lusso (I think). He made the trip to Italy with his sone to do the whole factory tour. Not sure what was all involved before getting the first 458.
You don't have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great.

Sounds like he is truly a "ferrari guy"! That is awesome. The 458's have gone nuts in value. Last of the N/A. The 488 is turbo'd. Sure the 458 is slower but it represents the last of it's kind. Crazy that the 458 values are now in line with 488. The F8 is just INSANE performance and and unreal car. Ferrari has a ton of heritage and you can see it flow through their cars.

My buddy has a GTC4Lusso. Hands down, the nicest interior of any car I have ever seen. Looks like you are sitting inside a custom hand bag. Just a beautiful car and a lot of people dont 'get it'. But stuff in a n/a v-12 and a few car seats and you are good to go!

SRS? Dude, I am not a 'big' guy. 5'9 and my summer sub 10% weight is 203, and my winter 'bulk' weight is 210-212. If I were 'normal' bf, I would probably be 230-235 and people would think I was 'big' but it would just be fat. I dont feel good carrying weight. It is not healthy. I think I am about 210 right now. Shot this last week. I have narrow shoulders and a wide waist so I dont look all that 'big'. But I was blessed with being strong and have good leverages on all lifts. Only thing that is hard to fit in are race bucket seats because my upper back and shoulders are xxl and my waist is 'med' so things are hard to fit. Have to have dress clothes custom made since I have a 16" drop. Good thing I dont need to get dressed up often

I only drive my camaro 1-2× a week but that is still enough to get used to it I guess. It's not Hayabusa fast, more like r6 with a GREAT rider or r1 with a crap rider, lol, but it gets out of it's own way. When I first bought it the car had the original 7 year old hard compound tires on it (low mile car so they never replaced them) and it would kick the arse end out at 60-70 in 3rd gear if i didn't roll into the throttle, so I get what you mean about the McLaren scaring you a bit.

That was gonna be my next question if you had any plans to track this one.

Truth is, any 'fast' car feels fast. It is really hard to tell the difference between a car that does 0-60 in 2.8 sec vs one that does it in 3.1 or 3.6. When you get into really fast cars, the difference is the PULL. Anyone who has ever rode a sport bike, knows the feeling. That feeling of your organs getting moved to the rear of your body. Kind of like a time warp tractor beam. It is a fun experience. BUT, not the only thing to appreciate about a car. I enjoy manual transmission cars. Just by their nature, they will always be 'slower' than a DCT because no human can shift as fast, but the enjoyment of driving comes from so many different areas.

I would like to take it out to the track at least once. But at current power levels it is really too much and I would never push it because at this power. The risk of tracking cars is your insurance does not cover you. So you bend it, and it is your loss. But I am not as worried about that as I am breaking something. I tracked the Huracan once, just to say I did. I guess we will have to find a time to get this out. I would really enjoy the experience of riding with my son in this car around a track and seeing what he could do. He did the Huracan at 14 and he has a lot more track experience now. I am pretty sure it would be a blast!

Time will tell. Headed to pick it up in a few hours! Just had to clear room out in the garage.

No. Dont forget we all have different goals. Flex would probably dwarf me if he decided to quit. But we all live our lives the way we want. I used to carry a lot of bulk and it has taken me 7-9 years and a total lifestyle change to look like I do. I pretty much drink zero alcohol. I spent about 4-5 years weighing everything I ate. I am looser now, but it took a ton of work and complete alteration of my life to learn to keep my composition where I have it now. I say it is 'easy' for me now, but it is only because so many patterns in my life have been changed which were required.

I can totally understand why someone would not be willing to do that. It took changing pretty much everything in my life and for many years I was a slave to it. Flex has and still does way more than many his age or younger. He is happy and that is all that matters. Nothing but respect for him.


On the car side, she is back home. This thing is loud as FUK! Holy sh!t with the down pipes and tune and Ryft exhaust it is like a gun battle with flames every time you lift anything above 4k rpm. It is almost insane. My son and I laughed the whole way home!

Small little bump. I have not driven this car in a few weeks. Just been sitting on trickle. Weather has been not all that great and been busy. We met up with friends for a little meet up this AM.

I have never seen the car under full sun and I am totally blown away by the paint. The color is called Volcano Yellow, and now I see why. I thought the car looked good on a show room, but this color looks amazing in full sun and might be one of the most dynamic paints I have ever seen.

The last pic is someone at the meet who tagged me to comment on the paint also.

Had a great morning....now need to get back to work putting up the white car from our track day on Wed and start working on the dry sump for the other!

Oh yea...have to watch the race tomorrow as wellQualifying was so great to watch. Alonzo in P5 makes me think this season is going to be great to watch! The entire field separated by only a little over a second.

Hey man....let me guess. You dont like cars....blah blah blah... Why bother continually following me around to say the same stuff. I am cool with the fact you dont like sports cars. I love them. Point made, so you can get on with your life of making sure that I know you dont like them.




The tune on this thing is so nasty..... Any throttle lift above 4k RPM starts shooting flames out the rear of the car. My son drove us home and he takes advantage of the bridges

I like Flex a lot. "Known" him over the interwebz for many years. I think he and I are a lot more alike than we are different. Good dude and nothing but respect. Love to catch up with him someday for a beer or two!

I realized that 'stuff' is not really an important component of that happiness. Some of the happiest times of my life came when I had the least. So it taught me that chasing MOAR will leave you empty in the end. Achievement and growth are one thing and to be celebrated. But the pursuit of stuff is empty. Enjoying things if OK, but it should always remain in the proper perspective.

No one is self made. I say all the time how thankful I am to all the people who at least gave me the shot when I said I could do it. There are many things that happen on the way to success. No one walked the path for me, but plenty of people gave me the chance to take a ball and run with it. I could have fallen on my face, but I didnt. So in one way I did it on my own, but I realize that I would have never gotten the chance to prove myself without others.

To this day I never look past a person. Life is totally unpredictable. I always try to help others even if I get nothing in return. I dont know that I believe in some cosmic balance, but I have seen that the energy with which you greet the world gets reflected back at you.

It is nothing sexy. But I will say that the past 10 years I have become more focused on real estate. That especially is not sexy but I see it as what I will focus on the next 10 years. It is not the amazing gains you see in a bull market, but you give it time and it will build true wealth. I am going to try to get my kids started young. We started building my daughters credit at 16. At 16 you can add your kids to your credit cards and it will be reported to their credit reports as their credit. Building and having good credit is very important. I try to not use credit, but it is a tool that when done properly can be very beneficial. I have some friends who make me look like I make minimum wage. One guy owns 350 mil in real estate. He is coaching me on taking my current holdings and how to grow them. No one taught me anything. I just operated how I thought would work well, but I am always eager to learn. So I am 50 and still seeking out advice of others. Again, no one is self made.

Completely agree, real-estate is where it is at. I've acquired much of my wealth the same way...but I am no where near your level. Have bought and sold houses since I was in my 20's. Fixed em up, then sold. Wife became a real-estate agent a few years ago and sold 10 homes her first year out (CA).
Congrats on your success bro, and thank you for sharring.

I am not into watches. Not to sound too judgy, but they seem a little too material to me. I have friends that are into them, some owning ones that cost more than most exotic cars. I just dont see them as something I would like. I have never been into labels. I dont buy clothes with any external branding. Never liked that stuff even when I was a kid. I refused to wear anything with a label on it...even when I was growing up. I did not want to be like the kids who wanted the certain sneakers or latest 'in' clothing.

Guess I dont like to be defined by anything external. I laugh kinda at the guys who buy a lambo and then all of a sudden they are wearing lambo hats, lambo shirts...and probably underwear. Actually it is usually the Porsche guys that are doing that!

I have owned a handful of exotic cars and I dont have a single t-shirt or hat with a car brand on it. Just not the way I define myself. But to each their own.
