My obsession? You're the one quoting him as a valid source of opinion..

He's all your's - I won't try come between you 2.. if that's what you are worried about.

Isn't good for the car? How the hell else are you going to extract the performance that was engineered into it, if you don't use it the way the engineers intended it to be used? Have you ever seen the videos of Valentino Balboni?
You don't get a car tp deliver on it's potential by lumbering around in 3rd.. you stomp on it and make it go fast.
If you are a half decent driver, you know what rpm/gear/speed you would need to be in, and at the correct moment, down shift and go.
Period.
Anything else is being a pussy-arsed wet noodle

You can go ahead and say most - because it is most.

But wait a minute - that would seem to be the motivation of Allan Lambo and his buddies --- right?

In other words, just because you flaunt your wealth with $300,000 cars and $100,000 wrist watches when you need neither - you are really just being a snob and flaunting your wealth - aka penis extension..

No Einstein - because these modded cars can cost upwards of $150,000 after all the materials and labour are accounte for - in other words - these owners CAN afford some exotica, but prefer to flaunt their wealth by buying/building super expensive money pits that will return nothing - expect fun and speed.
In otherword, like Jay leno - (doesn't he think Ferraris are over rated), they are TRUE auto enthusiasts - not snobs..

Why not? Because they all back down, or are rolling from 3rd gear so I know the jackass behind the wheel can't drive worth a shit, and probably only has 100 miles behind the wheel of the car, all from driving down to the Louis Vuitton boutique..
The day a well driven Lambo shows up - that's the day we go - head to head camera's rolling..
