That's it. That's the word I was looking for. Top Gear. Yes.

Just 10 years ago, Ferrari's flagship was had similar power to weight ratio. It's not that bad. You're just nitpicking it because it didn't do a good time on the Top Gear track when it was soaking wet.

If it was $70,000 it would be a world beater. It would be like the GT-R only Italian. But is it what $280,000, and I heard its all sold out anyway. I'll only see them at shows.
