Ok, I know most will probably disagree with me here but I spent a little time at a track close to a friends house on the weekend and to my initial excitement it seemed the ferrari/maser club were on the track for the day. So I stood next to the side barrier at the end of the straight waiting for that 'magical' sound of a ferrari engine on song that everyone raves about.

Well, imagine my disappointment when they all zipped past & sounded all zing and no nuts. I know it's not a great technical description but think more superbike & less car. The best sounding car was a tricked up M3.

I'd previously worked at a mortorshow opposite the ferrari stand and one of the salespeople started one up and gave it a bit - which was very impressive in that atmosphere. But out on a track, compared to other cars they just seemed a little lacking.

I left the track thinking I'd never again lust after a ferrari - much prefer the more guttural sound of a flat or inline six. Am I nuts or do others else feel the same way.
