Let's see, a clueless person in a Kirkham vs the most highly automated automotive missile ever....

The Kirkham driver as everyone knows will have his hands full every foot of the way. The Ferrari driver has to remember to wait for the light to change, push the correct pedal, and squeeze the right paddle twice at the rev limit. It is obvious which car will win.

btw, I heard some automotive bigotry in the commentary. I love my Kirkham, have never driven an Italia, but the F430 is every bit as engrossing and charismatic a car as a well done "Cobra", particularly in spider form. You all should try one.
