If you could race any track, with any car...

Is that where Top Gear's James May tested the Veyron's top speed?

No, that was Volkswagen's Ehra-Lessien Test Track IIRC.

3 is the one i have seen the most of, but they all rely on the same principles... giant engine, not a whole lot else.

My father doesn't have an account, but here is his response:

1) Bridgehampton in 1962 in Ferrari 250 California Spyder SWB (s/n 2561GT).

2) LeMans in 1960 in Ferrari 250 California Spyder LWB (s/n 1525GT).

3) The Streets of Paris in 1976 at 5:30AM in Ferrari 330GTC (s/n 10455GT) YouTube - Rendez Vous

I never thought of him as a street racer. But is it a very nice sequence, no longer possible I think not even at 5.30 in the morning.

Alas, that wasn't really a Ferrari being driven. It was a rather more mundane Mercedes 450SEL with a Ferrari engine note dubbed over the top. Still a nice video though...

Yeah, I heard about the car swap. I'd rather wreck a Mercedes 450 SEL than a Ferrari. Slightly easier on the wallet.

Oh he knows. However, I believe the car was a 450SE 6.3

You know those guys who buy a Ferrari just to park it outside of fancy restaurants and nightclubs and show off? That's what the A8 is for, to him the Ferraris are for driving and driving FAST.

But he never drove the Ferrari in the film...?

I think there is a subtle difference between driving fast and being a streetracer
