Went on a very spirited drive from PHX to Bagdad AZ ( you familiar with the MOA above it?) bunch of Ferraris, C-8's and P cars and me in my little i8 (didn't take a Lambo) They could not pull away from me because the road was nice and twisty and the low center of gravity in the i8 and torque from the electrics. At breakfast everyone said they were amazed at the little hybrid. Like I said a very misunderstood vehicle. The i8 is my daily driver, in fact was my \"airport car\" for 6 months before I was fired for getting old. Just sayin', I hate seeing what I'm driving come at me down the road or sitting at a stop light. Hence the Diablo's and i8.
