Definitely faster than many/most Ferrari's. Which makes it faster than 'a Ferrari'. Exactly which depends on how you define 'fast'...topout, acceleration, corner speed, lap speed on a particular track. It's going to beat them in with raw HP, my motor is good for 20k between rebuilds (at best) though. Which is OK, complete rebuild kit is much less than the price of single Ferrari washer mentioned upthread.
You realize a Pontiac GTO is faster than a Ferrari GTO? Not just down the 1/4 mile, but around Monza. It really pissed the Italians off when they ran the test. I'll grant they picked Monza for it's booming, topout straights, but still.
Hotrod magazine has been mocking Ferrari for their slow as shit, overpriced, cars for _decades_. I'll grant that Ferrari has reformed itself somewhat, lately. They no longer ship cars with 'sewing machine motors', 17 second, 1/4 mile Ferraris are still common. There is a good reason Porsche people say 'Italian trash'.
The fact is that Ferrari has long considered building street cars a necessary evil to fund its racing. They have no respect for their own customers (particularly the non-Italians), it's hard to have respect for such a bunch of pretentious, slow driving morons. It's not like they notice how slow the cars are.
'Perfect execution' of a 'shit business plan' is still shit.
Execution is everything. But you have to 'execute the planning' before you can 'execute the plan', even if that means stopping 'the plan' when you realize the problem(s).
When you're in charge of executing a broken plan and their is nothing you can do about it, it's time to move on, ASAP. Execute the job hunt.
If you're selling a pile of bullshit to a VC. The bullshit is the product and the VC is the customer. Your _exorbitant_ salary is the payout. Everybody knows the VC won't let anybody cash out stock before them, that's just how they roll.
I'm betting the only thing keeping this place's funds open is lack of liquidity.
Anybody expecting rounds to be funded there in the future is going to face disappointment. Which will suck for those female clients that did 'suck'...you know there were some.
It's now just a holding company, while the process unwinds.
Have you been asleep for the last two decades? I certainly _won't_ get reliable information from the 'newspapers' or the 'MSM'.
That's what the newspapers are really complaining about. Wah, they're fact checking us! Wah, make them stop. Wah, journalists need to be licenced. Wah, their making their stories about our open bias.
Newspapers need to 'get by' with online ad revenue. Everybody else can, they can too, the sooner they get to it, the sooner it gets done. If they can sell their own ads and come out ahead vs. just punting to Google, then that's what they will do.
They, individually, need to decide whether they are propaganda outlets or new outlets, both can be viable business models. Nobody is buying the 'both' bullshit anymore.
A system (Google) that algorithmically scans and collates all the sites offering to 'spoon feed' you information is the _opposite_ of 'spoon feeding' you.
If you get your information from an 'internet echo chamber', then it's no better than getting all your information from one media source.
You didn't go far enough. Get three rattle cans with different color primer and paint three body panels on your car. Preferably forward facing, make sure to pay attention to 'pre distressing' the front bumper cover.
People in fancy cars will _get_out_of_your_way_, the fancier the car, the faster they move to get out of your way.
If you do this, make absolutely sure you have insurance. The downside of having a car that looks uninsured: Cops are always running your plates for insurance...no problem though. I've been hooning in built beaters for decades without tickets (or accidents)...I can spot a cop at a half mile, by 3 inches of fender and bumper sticking past a wall. Plus CA, cops are way more relaxed, I adjust my driving when travelling, rental cars on suspended on mush anyhow.
Obnoxious cars are also better for getting people to pay the fuck attention to you. I'd guess that much of the 'aggressive driving' you see is just people with 'heads up asses' that noticed the bigger obstacle. They also notice the awful beater 'city car', 'cause they're afraid.
Of course none of this is 'a plan' if you're the kind of person who's gives one rip about how people you've never met before and will never meet again perceive your 'status'. Like the GP points out, apartment complex parking lots are full of brand new, high status cars. Chumps.
A Ferrari is built as if the only thing you will ever do with it is drive it to the racetrack.
So is my toy, I've got about the price of a single Ferrari headlight retainer washer in my toy car. Cite: HotRod magazine, they rebuilt the Enzo wrecked on TV by some hollywood idiot and reported the costs. $5000 for a single red anodized aluminum headlight retainer washer.
Yeah, I 'stole' the car, half built (motor was strong and new). The kid had lost his license, next pullover, the car was gone. The cops know the car, which is a little bit of a problem...but it's cooled down nicely by now.
d: Customer. It isn't sufficient by itself, but you _need_ a customer. The others you can 'find another way', but someone _has_ to pay you. With only a customer, plan on rough seas. You want a plan, but you can find that on the way.
If they're not paying, they aren't the customer...see Google.
Give the maximum to both parties presidential campaign?
Perhaps parking a little money in the candidate's son in law's money losing hedge fund, not that we've seen anything like that lately. Did you notice how fast that hedge fund dried up after the bitch lost?
Surely you don't expect this rule to not be gamed?
One family member with $250k in the USA and they bootstrap the whole family in to buy a convenience store.
Even worse. $100k in government handouts? Fuck that. No government handout, business starting grants to non-citizens. That's the kind of bullshit that got us Solyndra. Bad ideas being given piles of cash by the bribed and clueless.
LOL. Any new Mexican-American war will end just as the first.
Which would be the best thing to ever happen (being taken by the USA) to northern Mexican states. It was certainly the best thing to ever happen to Texas, Arizona, New Mexico and the Southern half of California.
I knew I guy in High School who made a few bucks 'sharing' other people's bikes/car radios. But after his 'state sponsored vacation' the hourly was terrible.

You should buy condos in China. It's a good investment!

After it has years of money losing performance and still attracts investors, you will have 'whatabout' point.

I bought an old, not crashed, mustang and built it to near racecar but streetable. Uncomfortable, like a Ferrari, but faster and much much cheaper.

Sandbag a few raises and a bonus or two into a secret account for 'hookers and blow'. She can't spend what she doesn't know you have.
Second hand cars? Too new.
Phones and computers are different. Second hand market there is a bad plan, but so is anything Apple.

It's a trick question. No single one is sufficient. But customer is the only one that's absolutely required.

They overperformed for the levels of technology they had.
But modern wars are just much more devastating. The modern religion 'Marxism' is going to have the number one spot, no doubt.
There is a coal fire in Austria that has been burning since the Romans let it catch. I assume they were mining something in proximity to the coal.
SOP. Leaving a few legislative bombs is just what lame ducks do.
