Hi friends, I have a question for you out there. What is it like to drive an awesomely fast sports car. Like a Porsche or Ferrari or Lamborghini? My question is more about the accelerator pedal. Is it more sensitive? Or does it depress a further distance than your typical Ford or Buick would? How do you control the speed around town if the machine is built to go so much faster so much more quickly than your average daily driver?

Thanks for indulging me.

    I drove a sports car, it was super easy to speed in that car cause you had no real sign you were going too fast. The standard cars you feel they’re working a bit harder, there’s a bit of noise, a little rumble, you feel like the car is working. But this one I accidentally went 100mph cause the road was clear and I genuinely just thought I was doing 70.

    As far as driving, I think to get those 0-60 in 0.2 seconds speeds you’d need to really slam the accelerator, driving normally it’s very smooth but controllable. I don’t know if that’s different in an automatic, I was in a manual. I never felt it was getting away from me or whatever, but when I wanted to overtake it was super easy, you can do overtakes that you wouldn’t normally attempt cause you could just pop in front very quickly.
