But Ferrari took it to baby level by refusing to let all three cars McClaren, P1, and LaFerrari from being fairly tested. The show asked people who already owned the cars to hand them over for testing, But when Ferrari found out they said no way. The reasons for it on investigation was Porshe set the record at Nuremberg already they won because they focused on a car that was more than just fast it could handle turns and has the most torque out of the three. McClaren is the most aggressive of the three with a rear wheel only drive that makes controlling the car more difficult. LaFerrari has the most Bhp at 1250 and was trumpeting the handling and aerodynamic downforce; until it became clear that was between the Porshe 918 and McClaren P1.

Sensing possible defeat and Head 2 Head saying or implying LaFerrari wasn't the best, they told the owner you are not allowed to give your car to Head 2 Head for Lap data testing under penalty of law. Head 2 Head mentioned this on the show which was going to be the first time all three supercars went head to head. So people made fun of Ferrari (and still do) over this issue. It was just seeing what the three cars could actually do. But Ferrari nth level elitism means they dont care image over the truth if another car is better lie about it or don't allow your car to compete so people can't see it lose. Porshe was the most ADULT about the testing they don't care about image in the way Ferrari and Bugatti do which led to Bugatti own well deserved humiliation. Porshe gave Head 2 Head everything they asked for and didn't try to get cheap by heat sourcing their tires which makes the car act differently on race tracks.

I am so done Ferrari makes nice cars but I wouldn't buy one because of the Car politics they use.

I know it is BuzzFeed and therefore not a source that necessitates any claim of reputational regard, but I still could not help clicking it and thinking of @Chase as I did so. Rate These Foods And We'll Tell You What German Wine To Try
