It's not just the issue of exercising the car's speed potential on our speed limited highways.  The level of distraction among drivers is astonishing. Whether it is the phone, intoxicants, lack of training/skill, or lack of socialization, our roads in the US have become chaotic adding an element of danger that congestion alone does not encompass.  Lane changing on the highway is akin to a random event comparable to Brownian movement.  It's difficult enough risking my Cab in this environment,  let alone a new Ferrari.  Still, the 458 is tugging at me to a far greater extent than any of its recent ancestors. This may be one of those things to do before dying, financial prudence be damned.
