the GT doesn't have all that stuff...
Actually - as far as I know, the CGT has ABS and Traction Control.

You are right!

Of course, this car was missing the key safety ingredient - dumbass ejector seat - once the car detects a driver with hamfisted moves the car quickly comes to a halt and deploys the ejector seat to remove the offending element. As an optional extra you get the talkative passenger ejector seat.

Thats just pure lack of respect for the machine.... supercars are getting easier and easier to drive but 600+ hp is 600+hp no matter which way you look at it and it needs to be respected!

They infact dont use a cheap weave - the front and rear bumper are made from polyurethane so at slow speeds if it deforms it can bounce back without need for repair.

Haha. . .

But seriously, DAMN! That is some shit. I would be hella piss, I don't care how hot she is.

But I hope she recovers. That's kind of said. At the same time 1km, that is .6 miles. Come how now, you gotta take it easy.

That's precisely the problem. Supercars getting easier to drive and people don't give them the respect they deserve.

Like Jeremy once compared driving a supercar to having a drink with a serial killer. With all the makeup and costume, the serial killer no longer looks dangerous but is still deadly.

Actually - mad props to the chick for getting on it as soon as she pulled out the parking lot.

Going slow is for pussies..

She had more balls than all of you guys put together.
