 WTH: Turbo diesel gets thumbs up from Ferrari!!!

Coming home this arvo from Kirrawee north up the Pacific Hwy.
Coming up the tight left hander after Port Hacking Rd & decide to see what she'll do as just had a wheel alignment & the rear swaybar adjusted stiffer again.
Coming round in the middle lane (at about 90 I think) when I have to jam on the brakes to stop slamming into the back of a black Ferrari convertable who I didn't see was there cause of the truck in the left lane.
His eyes were like dinner plates when he saw me.
Then coming up to the left right onto Tom Uglys bridge again try to see what it'll do.
This time in the right lane & the Ferrari's behind me.
He keeps up through the left hander, but then freaks out on the right hander and I could see him see sawing the steering wheel trying to keep control while trying to brake without changing lanes cause there was other traffic.
Meanwhile I've disappeared into the distance.
He caught up to me bout 2k's later & wanted to know what the hell I'd done to it & what was under the bonnet.
He got a shock when told it was a diesel.
I gave him a thumbs back for having the balls to try to drive a $200k Ferrari the way it was supposed to be.

If you go around that right hander onto the bridge in the right hand lane you can put you drivers wheels right in the gutter and use the camber from the roll off. if you pop out of it mid corner esp in the wet your inside wheels rise about 3 inches. commonly resulting in the "facing wrong way" syndrome 
Fun section of road that

I was driving in the adelaide hills behind a Ferrari (I think it was a mondena 360 very nice anyway), I have never seen such a timid driver. Why would you bother with a ferrari if you dont mean to drive it?
