ORIGINAL: SilverSeven

99% of all Ferraris, Lambos, Porsches, Mercedes, and so on are purchased to be seen in,
That's probably a little high. Some people, like me, have wanted a certain car since before they could ride a bike and don't care if anyone ever sees them in it. So the car is very personal, not to mention a blast to drive.

You didn't buy your M5 to be seen. You bought it because it is a fast sedan.

Sure, I know people with more money than sense that buy things because it makes them feel better temporarily - and you see them 4mo later and they have traded their supercar in because they aren't car fanatics, they are just rich and bored.

Ok, that 99% is accurate in Vegas.

And keep in mind, I also drove the hell out of my M5. I put most of my miles on her in the dead of night, less traffic out then.

The truth is the Bentleys got a faster 1/4 time then the Ferrari by .2 tenths. Bentley 12.7 Ferrari 12.9. I just posted to share how I was impressed with the car and he bought one because he likes the car and yes he does have a need for speed 5% of the time. But the Bentley you can cruise in peacefully while the Ferrari is so loud at idle you might as well drive like an *******. My girls dad said he had the 360 up to 180mph and the Bentley up to 145 so far.

Any car that goes 0-60 in less than 5secs is pretty damn quick. But a 5000LB+ monster like the GT??? That's pretty much amazing and deserves huge props.

The problem with the GT (and any other B I assume - I don't know for sure because the GT is the only B I have been in) is that it is SO damn big, heavy, solid, and smooootttthhhhhhhhh, that the sense of speed is totally lost in it. Before you even think to look at the speedo you are doing 120mph and at 150mph it feels like you are cruising around town at 40mph. Impressive engineering for sure.
