Awesome. People must have thought the death star landed nearby. I'm guessing the driving was pretty spirited! Any further comments on handling and ride of the car?
It was a great day, driving mostly on tertiary country roads, and it was the longest stretch of romping that I've done in the car (the driving was definitely spirited when the situation was suitable). Most of my thoughts can be covered by Dennis' comments above, specifically the "where on earth is the limit". But more specifically:
Suspension
Acceleration
Braking
Given that most of the roads that we drove hard (fast) were very much country lanes, with paving quality to be expected, the 12C suspension let you drive far faster than other cars - I've driven these same roads in my series of Ferraris (355-430), and you could never have carried the speed that we did. And the speed was easy and routine. Which leads to the comment about acceleration: the acceleration out of corners (and passing) is just intoxicating. And of course the braking, I carried more speed, later, than I ever had. At the end of the drive, Dennis made the comment that I did not brake much, and must have been in a lower gear - we were both mostly in 4th on the stretch in question, but the car just lets you carry so much more speed into and through turns, I would just drop down in to 3rd and fly out of the turns .
To summarize: AWESOME CAR.
