Wow expensive car to thrash like that.
Perhaps a jap car would be better.

Drive them to the limits. What's the point in owning something and not using it to its full potential? Especially when the full potential of the higher performance models costs a lot more. I'd hardly call driving a car within the limits of its capability "thrashing". I had mine at a track day for its run-in, two days after I bought it!

Lets get a survey going. Not everyone who buys a "sportscar" is a boyracer!
I am sure if diehards like yourself were the only purchasers the GTI wouldn't exist ie limited market.

I'm sorry. Where did I claim to be a "boyracer"? I don't even know what one is. I enjoy the full potential of my car in safe, controlled environments such as closed tracks at driver training facilities. Just as I do on my B-King. I only race in race cars.

All I said is what's the point of spending such a large amount of money on something and then not fully utilising it? It'd be like buying a brand new high spec computer to play minesweeper... Let's get a survey going and see how many people think that'd be a good idea. I apologise if you mis-understood the point I was trying to make. I should have been clearer to start with.
