    @CaptainFalcon92@CaptainFalcon925 ай бұрын

    • I agree in general, you can make buttons super sleek and still have that tactile feel. I think that might be why they put almost every control on or right next to the steering wheel so after a bit, your muscle memory kicks in and you know exactly where to push.

  • Whenever Doug reviews a car, I check if I can download it for Assetto Corsa. It was a super surreal experience to sit in a Lambo SVJ in VR, while listening to Doug point out the quirks and features as I'm looking at them, like he's sitting in the car with me at a dealership. Another one is the Corvette C8. I had Doug's video on the car's infotainment display for that one. Car makers really should release official models of their cars more often like this. It's great marketing.

  • Its interesting that ferrari and porsche have such different design philosophies when it comes to steering wheel. Porsche offers a wheel completely devoid of buttons while ferrari cover theirs with essential vehicle functions.

I tend to prefer cars from the 90’s and early 2000’s but the 911’s look great to me even to this day. I know Porsche probably makes more money selling SUV’s and sedans so I’m just glad they still make enthusiasts cars.

  • This car does in fact have an (active) rear spoiler, aside from the (non-active) one at the rear window which you've pointed out. Top gear discussed this in their article about it, titled "Ferrari 296 GTB: here's how the tech works" under the heading "Aero - rear spoiler" and I've seen it deploy out of its hiding place in a few videos, too. It looks very strange but kind of cool, too. It's that black strip which runs between the two rear taillights, right below the lip of the trunk. It deploys almost straight up, vertically. It's very well-hidden and doesn't deploy often so it's not strange it is overlooked. I wouldn't know it either if I hadn't seen it deploy in a video and wanted to know what the heck that thing was that I saw sliding out of the rear. Good review Doug

But if there were more lax regulations, there could very well be a supercharged 4.5L V8 Ferrari. It will make it sound even better because superchargers make the exhaust louder instead of quieter unlike turbochargers. It will sound like an angrier F458 Italia with a whine similar to the turbocharger in a V6 turbo hybrid F1 car.

Its only downside is all of the touch buttons, but other than that? This is A MASTERPIECE. ❤️❤️ Also, ever notice how we say "The 458 level is the entry level Mid-Engine Sports Car for Ferrari" as if they released more? Like, now the have the SF90 but before it was either 458 or the ultra special edition LaFerrari if you wanted a mid engine Ferrari 🤔

I ripped the GTB tester up and down the freeway and not only is engine note not a concern, it sounds fantastic. With obstructions removed in the aftermarket, the exhaust noise is downright heavenly. It’s modern and gorgeous and faster than my beloved V12 in a straight line. Nothing will ever outdo the emotion of a 6.5L 12cyl screaming but the 296 does every single thing besides that. Instant classic.

It had shown up in some local car meets too, however I had missed all of them. about a month later, I go to my local Ferrari dealer's car meet, and after seeing one 296 for the first time ever, I recognize someone from my school. In the most unbelievable turn of events, their dad was the owner of that 296 that I saw before, and after meeting him they invited me over to their house after the car show. They were very nonchalant about it and kind, but inside I was freaking out. So I went over to their home, and in the back garage he has this ferrari batcave including a portofino M, a gorgeous Roma in a unique blue, a mini 250 TR from the little car company, his Rosso Taormina cavalcade SF90 spider which i had also gotten the chance to sit in, and the 296 GTB which I had been chasing since the start of the year. It's a very beautiful car, Verde Pino with an argento nurburgring stripe from the assetto fiorano package. Carbon wheels, aluminum brake calipers, painted shields. I have a copy of the window sticker that he kindly gave me. After pulling it out of the driveway, he offered that I get in and drive it myself. I was stunned but I kept my composure, and I learned what it was like to have my dream fulfilled. again I want to reiterate that this is a 1-in-a-million chance, and that I'm incredibly grateful. some notes about the 296 driving experience: 1. It's FAST. 830HP is no joke. 2. It's light, and fun to drive. He was coaching me to trust the car as I was turning around a bend, and the car responded beautifully. There's something to be said when a car is fun to drive at any speed. 3. The V6 is the best news. produces a ridiculously beautiful note, and the turbo whooshes are a bonus. While I had my fun I still stayed within my limits, given that this was an 800HP RWD 3,200lb supercar and I have minimal experience. After that we switched seats and he was able to show me a little bit more of what it was capable of. Unbelievable experience, amongst the top moments of my life. instagram.com/p/CrYlFv6OXuC/ Here's an image of it at a local car show
