Dads were boys once and they understand how boys think. Dads want people to think well of their daughters to not think they are trash or ******. Dads tend to be conservative and want their daughters to have the best chance in the world so they have preferences in how they dress, act and speak.
He wants you to look better, or possibly less "slaggy." In reality it's probably best to leave you to it. Over-critical and confrontational fathers are the main cause of low confidence in kids, especially girls. Mothers can be a pain in the *** too though.
How do your sisters dress differently than you do? Perhaps your dad needs to understand why you make the choices you do. As long as you're not dressing in a way that he feels is inappropriate (goth or too tight/too short), maybe he just needs to hear from you why it's important to express your individuality. Just a guess. I have a daughter who sometimes makes what I feel are "odd" choices but we talk about it. Sometimes she wins, sometimes not, but it's always worth the conversation. I hope you're able to talk it out.
There's a high probability that you WILL be influenced by your sister's, love. Especially at a young impressionable age. He wants you to make better choices than them, obviously.
Because he cares about you and what happens to you.

Today is the day that Jason Aldean fans have been waiting for! If you've worn out your copy of My Kinda Party like we have, there's no doubt you've been itching for new music from Jason. On the heels of five consecutive lead singles, Jason's new track "Take A Little Ride" hits iTunes today and will be available in Walmart stores on August 7.
The track was written by Dylan Altman, Rodney Clawson and Jim McCormick. It's typical Aldean with a distinct electric sound, perfect for a summer night tailgate or BBQ.
"Everyone has been asking if the new album is going to be different from the 'My Kinda Party' album," said Aldean. "I tried to find the best songs that I could and also ones that fit what I do in my live show. There's a little bit of everything, including some more traditional country stuff and some songs that might raise a few eyebrows. I thought this would be a great lead single to come with after 'Fly Over States'…it's about grabbing your girl and getting lost in the country. Sounds like a pretty good Friday night to me!"
Make sure to grab it on iTunes today! For more information on upcoming appearances and new music, please visit www.jasonaldean.com

If you haven't already done so, check out today's edition of the Fitzsimon File in which Chris highlights the most recent cynical efforts of anti-government crusaders to cloak their efforts to dismantle public education behind a protective phalanx of poor kids and their families. As Chris notes in discussing yesterday's efforts by voucher supporters to resist a broad-based lawsuit against the state's new "Opportunity Scholarships" program:
"It's an understandable strategic decision voucher supporters are making, claiming that their only concern is improving the education of poor kids. They'd rather not talk about their anti-government ideology that's behind their crusade to dismantle public education, one of the last government institutions that enjoys widespread support.

LOS ANGELES — After years of grueling battles over state budget deficits and spending cuts, California has a new challenge on its hands: too much money. An unexpected surplus is fueling an argument over how the state should respond to its turn of good fortune.
The amount is a matter of debate, but by any measure significant: between $1.2 billion, projected by Governor Jerry Brown, and $4.4 billion, the estimate of the Legislature's independent financial analyst. The surplus comes barely three years after the state was facing a deficit of close to $60 billion.

What's in a name? When you work in branding, the answer is everything. A branded name is an essential element of identity. It's usually the first thing that customers see or notice and, typically, it's how they remember a company or product. It's the start of their brand experience and is crucial for cultivating trust and loyalty. Traditionally, healthcare has focused its brand names around functional features and not attempted to reach audiences on an emotional level. Interbrand research shows that this is a missed opportunity; brand can affect the bottom line and drive profit, premium, and preference. So, why is the critical process of naming so challenging in healthcare?
1) Trademark development is a key issue for new brands in the healthcare space. As with consumer brands, a name must have legal viability. When we begin the naming process, most clients start by telling us what they would like the brand to communicate. Our team then constructs hundreds of names that convey that idea either through specific combinations of letters, metaphors, or stylistic attributes. As trademarks continue to proliferate, it is harder to find white space around a specific letter string/communication (especially if it is inspired by a functional feature that isn't spectacularly innovative or groundbreaking).
2) Equally difficult is acquiring a website domain. Securing a .com for your brand, essential in today's increasingly digital world, can be incredibly challenging. As the digital arena expands, so does global reach.
3) It's essential to test the linguistics of any brand name against different global markets to ensure what you are saying in one language doesn't mean something bad, off-putting, or irrelevant in another language.
4) Even after passing these tests, names go up against a tough audience: internal stakeholders. Many people involved in evaluating and decision making around a new brand name are not familiar with the challenges a potential trademark must overcome and do not understand how valuable a viable name candidate truly is. Typically, they have strong, subjective, and sometimes emotional, opinions about what their brand should communicate and are surprised when they don't see it articulated as expected in a name.
5) Unlike most consumer industries, the healthcare industry faces an additional, distinct set of challenges when it comes to brand name development. If the name is for a drug, implant, and, occasionally, a medical device product, regulatory authorities must approve it. Not only are there different regulatory authorities in different markets—making global branding particularly challenging—but each has an individual set of criteria to evaluate and approve the name. Regulatory authorities look at many aspects of a potential brand name, with their main concern focusing around safety.
Remember the last time you got a prescription at the doctor's office? Could you read the written prescription from your physician? Regulators require that healthcare names not sound like or look like another product name to minimize confusion and pharmacist or physician error. That's why names for the same condition, such as depression, are as varied as Prozac, Zoloft, and Wellbutrin. Additionally, the name cannot directly communicate a health and wellness claim or non-functional benefit. So we can hint at attributes—pro- active-prozac, loft-lift-zoloft—but not be overt about benefits; no one will ever really be able to brand an antidepressant called "happy pills," even if we use the term colloquially.
6) Once a name passes the trademark tests and surpassed regulatory hurdles (if necessary), the brand name still has obstacles ahead. Healthcare marketers need a name that speaks to a variety of audiences, whether it is a product name or corporate name. Communication pieces need to interact very differently with patients versus physicians versus insurance companies. Something you would say in the consumer world that is inherently understood as positive may be interpreted as negative in the context of healthcare. Take Jet Blue, for example. This is a great name that immediately communicates speed (monosyllabic), action (jet), and safety/serenity (blue skies). However if the word "blue" were used for a medical product, it may communicate depression, coldness, or even death (think: code blue).
When considering how difficult it is to brand an entity within the healthcare category, it makes sense that our industry has traditionally focused its names on functionality. This has resulted in a lot of scientific healthcare brands that don't tap into the emotions of their customers. When brands are unable to build a relationship with customers beyond a functional feature, they may not experience long-term success. A brand's longevity requires a connection that goes beyond how something works–tapping into emotions and creating a relationship with end-users. This opportunity is huge and exciting, but it must be approached using industry expertise and category insights in order to build a meaningful connection with customers that stands the test of time.

The Life Science Brand Reputation & Communications Conference was held last week in Atlanta, Georgia with attendees from a host of healthcare companies including AstraZeneca, GE Healthcare and UCB Inc. InterbrandHealth's Executive Creative Director R. John Fidelino addressed the crowd on the role of corporate brand for communications professionals.
A corporate brand is traditionally the most under leveraged business asset within the health and life sciences industry. When used strategically, the corporate brand in healthcare has the power to drive economic value for the company, create demand and build loyalty for a business. Historically, the corporate brand has been relegated to corporate communications and investor relations.
As we see the health industry transform, a strong corporate brand is a key tool for communications professionals. Using the corporate brand thoughtfully and consistently on products, services, and initiatives that matter can bolster your business's reputation and add value to your relationships with your consumers, investors, and employees.
Fundamentally, brands can influence how people understand their world, and healthcare brands can shape people's perceptions about disease, treatment, and even themselves. If your corporate identity is well-defined, then it can be the lens by which you innovate and also make business decisions.
Communications strategists can reap four key benefits from honing in on the corporate brand:
1. Defining your company's distinct point of view is critical. Once you do, you and others within the company will have clarity around what matters most at your company and that will ensure coordinated and consistent messaging across your business.
2. As mentioned previously, corporate brands often get "stuck" at corporate communications and investor relations. To grow influence, corporate brands need to be built around commercial dynamics and needs. The more aware you are of what is needed for commercial success, the more credibility you will have in mandating the use of the corporate brand across the business in a prominent way.
3. You should be proud of your corporate social responsibility activities. They can boost corporate reputation, marketplace perception, and give employees something to be proud of. The equity and good will you build around the company as a result of your CSR activities can benefit your product brands. Getting credit for the good that you do also helps further your cause as it raises more awareness about why you invested in the first place.
4. Your corporate brand can help you can connect to specialty customer groups in new and meaningful ways that product brands cannot. The corporate brand can aggregate products in your portfolio that share the same mission, therapeutic focus or technology. In this way the corporate brand can help support commercial objectives at the product level.
R. John closed the presentation with best practices from some well-known healthcare brands, and gave attendees a few things to consider: everything counts, carry the torch, be proactive, and give them proof.
All communications, relationships, and interactions make up your brand experience. Using corporate brand as a unifying force has an impact on every aspect of your business and, ultimately, on your company's bottom line. By carrying the torch for the corporate brand across the organization, you'll ensure clarity and consistency through all departments and business units, from research and development to human resources.
The best brands give their employees a reason to get up in the morning. They make sure that the people who work for them know what they are doing and why. They give them something to believe in and empower them with the tools to make things happen.
Lastly, you should create proof points for communications activities around the corporate brand and establish the metrics needed to demonstrate value. For a brand to be strong and meaningful, it must be embedded into every level of your business and measured.
The Life Science Brand Reputation and Communications Conference, in addition to branding, covered topics such as optimizing social media, managing communications during mergers and acquisitions, and developing the role of patient advocacy relations.

The true market potential for biosimilars has been under a microscope. In our last blog post we framed the industry, looking at some of the varying and conflicting points of view of major players in the industry. In this post we will begin exploring InterbrandHealth's perspective on biosimilars.
We recently participated in the Financial Times US Healthcare and Life Sciences Conference on June 6, 2012 in New York City. Below are some of the points that were discussed during the biosimilars panel that Wes Wilkes, our Executive Director of Global Strategy, participated in during the panel Biosimilars: Coming of Age?
Biosimilars are here. Most of the conversation today is how the regulatory pathways will shape the landscape in the US, EU, and the rest of the world. What we are helping most of our clients with today is looking past the regulatory approvals and focusing on the uptake and competition post-regulatory approval.
The uptake in developed markets will ultimately provide significant savings and access to a new population of patients. But new entrants may be underestimating the loyalties that exist with reference product manufacturers, and the trepidation that may exist for providers and patients to switch to the biogenerics, specifically those that treat more chronic conditions.
We are not talking the same price disparities we see with generics in the small molecule space. In some markets we may be talking less than 30% in price savings, not to mention the price elasticity reference product manufacturers are willing to explore as the basement price for many of the big products is still unknown. Pair that with the brand loyalty, trust and safety that have been built up over the last decade — and we have a much different game on our hands.
Some of the newer entrants can learn from the mistakes made in the past in the small molecule space, especially in how they will compete and differentiate themselves in a highly competitive environment.We see the future successors differentiating themselves on:
1) The corporate/manufacturer brand
2) The manufacturing process
3) The technologies and delivery devices
However, we see most of the efforts to date being placed in the reverse order. Of course the technology and delivery device is an obvious differentiator, but we are encouraging our clients to consider the uptake barriers that do and will exist post-approval.
One of the greatest barriers is concern over safety and quality controls. Yes, the price will be a driver of choice, but the hurdle of a relatively "unknown" player with different manufacturing technologies may not be enough to overcome the price disparity.
Starting now to lay the foundation of the corporate and manufacturer equities will be key to post-approval commercial success. Providers and payers will have an increased scrutiny on this space especially in the more chronic conditions. We feel that focusing only on the differences in delivery and dosing may be a bit myopic in a category where brand loyalty, trust and respect will be key.
Stay tuned for a white paper on biosimilars where we will be exploring these commercial strategies in more depth. For more information on this topic please email: email@example.com

On Wednesday April 4th, IBH Creative Manager, Meredith Harris, gave a presentation at her alma mater, Harvard University Graduate School of Design. Meredith provided graduate students with insight into how she was able to parlay her degree in architecture into a career in healthcare branding. There was a brief Q&A session after the presentation. Here are some of the questions the students asked Meredith.
Q&A with Meredith Harris
Q: What did you hope to accomplish as you entered the design/consulting profession?
A: I wanted to find a way to work in the healthcare industry and still apply my creative side. I liked the inherent structure and regulations that are built into the healthcare industry, which to me present an interesting challenge, especially from a design standpoint. Ultimately, I wanted to work in a field that could provide a balance between my interests in medicine and design, and required a strategic application of the skills I developed in architecture school.
Q: Any previous employments that contributed to your current role?
A: Because of my undergraduate experiences in the healthcare industry, ranging from the volunteer work I did in hospitals to internships at the National Institute of Health; I have an understanding of what these working environments are like and where the opportunities are for brand in these areas. When I speak with our clients, I can easily understand the scientific context of their work and the lengthy processes required in order to make their research come to life.
Also, my internships at various architecture firms contributed to my current role because each firm offered more than just architectural services; I contributed to several other design projects for graphic design and product design. Thus, I was experienced in balancing several different types of projects at once and present design work to a client.
Q: What is it about your job in healthcare branding that you enjoy the most?
A: I enjoy being able to manage design work for the healthcare industry as a whole, which goes beyond architectural services and includes visual, verbal, and experiential design. I enjoy the challenge of creating brands that are truly engaging for audiences that are currently disengaged or simply unaware of how these healthcare companies can provide them with a revolutionary experience.
Q: Tell us about your most ambitious goals in the role that you play today.
A: I am truly passionate about brand and what it can do for the healthcare space. I aspire to bring a more total brand experience to InterbrandHealth clients and demonstrate how this can bring value to their business and to the people who need their services/products.
One's health is so incredibly personal and inherently experiential. I am always looking for ways in which we can deliver on designing an experience and not just a logo that reaches an audience and influences how they think about their own health.

On March 27th, the FDA approved Omontys (peginesatide), a drug used to treat anemia in adult dialysis patients who have chronic kidney disease (CKD). Omontys represents the first innovation in two decades – 20 years where the only option for CKD patients has been Amgen's Epogen. InterbrandHealth worked with Affymax and Takeda Pharmaceuticals to develop a brand name that would allow peginesatide to breathe fresh air into an older category riddled with monopoly.
The market is excited to have a new treatment option and Omontys is poised to transform the world of anemia in CKD – it is slated to generate as much as $700 million in peak sales by 2017.
Congratulations to Affymax and Takeda on this significant FDA approval!

Hi and welcome to October on the blog! This is always my favorite time of year. It's also the only blog feature that happens consistently, mostly because it's my favorite feature. If you haven't been around before, October is the month I post art and media recommendations (and other tidbits) to suit the Halloween season.
Kicking things off this month, I want to recommend a brand new project by my friend Jay Bushman. Airship Dracula reimagines a small piece of Bram Stoker's classic book in a steampunk Victorian England. But as Jay says, it's "ultra-literal steampunk. Less brass filigree and more 'what if they had an internet?'" It's actually called the "Æthernet" and characters use it to send æthergrams (email) and check the Victorian version of Twitter (where hashtags use § instead of #).

At a ceremony late last month, Narita International Airport opened the first dedicated terminal for business and private jets. Operated by the airport authority, Premier Gate–which will be open from 6 a.m. until 11 p.m.–promises privacy for passengers along with swift inbound and outbound passport control procedures through the use of dedicated onsite customs, immigration and quarantine facilities. In conjunction with the opening of the new terminal, the airport said it will extend the permissible duration for corporate jet parking to 30 days from 14.
Transportation in the United States
Two aviation association executives have been appointed chairman and vice chairman of the Transportation Security Administration's Aviation Security Advisory Committee (Asac).
U.S. commercial airports combined rank as the nation's second largest employer after Wal-Mart, directly supporting 1.3 million jobs in 2010, according to a study commissioned by the Airports Council International-North America (ACI-NA).
This could be a called a tale of two cities, but it's a little more complicated than that.
First, you have Washington, D.C., which has had a viable heliport since early 1998, but it depends on your definition of the word "viable."
Then you have Dallas, which has had Garland/DRW Heliport since 1988, one of fewer than a dozen stand-alone public-use heliports in the U.S. It was joined in 1994 by 49T, a heliport on the roof of the Dallas Convention Center.
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has approved a five-year extension of its partnership authorizing National Air Transportation Association Compliance Services (Natacs) to continue as a trusted fingerprint facility to process biological and biometric information for general aviation and commercial aviation worldwide.
The Massachusetts Port Authority gave the go-ahead to Bedford-based Rectrix Aviation to develop new FBOs at Hanscom Field and Worcester Regional Airport. Under the terms of the lease agreement, Rectrix will invest approximately $5 million to develop 27,000 sq ft of hangar and office space at Worcester Airport and $15 million to develop approximately 96,000 sq ft of hangar and office space at Hanscom Field.
John Pistole, Administrator of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), has started returning fire from Rep. John Mica (R-Fla.), the chairman of the House Transportation Committee, who has declared war on the TSA.
The Transportation Security Administration may finally be getting it. In November, the agency announced it is resuscitating the long-dormant Aviation Security Advisory Committee (Asac) and the Obama Administration said that the business aviation community will continue to have a seat at the table.
After months of talks between House and Senate negotiators over FAA reauthorization, a compromise agreement remains stalled, primarily because of a labor dispute between the major airlines and organized labor. Although both chambers in Congress profess the need for long-term legislation to set the course for agency programs and funding, at press time the issue appeared to be headed into the New Year without resolution.
The long-awaited final rule on aircraft repair station security will not be published until the fourth quarter of 2012, according to the Transportation Security Administration. Twenty industry leaders sent a letter to Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Janet Napolitano asking that the rule, which has been under consideration for eight years, be finalized before the end of 2011.

Zoe Saldana Brings the Quote of the Day
July 9, 2014 in Zoe Saldana by Versus
Her advice for women:
"It's important to not have women be afraid of you, to accept your mortality and your aging so that you can be a better mentor for up and coming women. Whenever these young women come and they just want to take everything all at once, just because they're younger and their asses are harder and plumper, you kind of go, "Child, sit down. Yes, you're beautiful but listen to these 1, 2, 3s.' 1. Don't hike up your skirt too much. 2. I'm pretty sure you're intelligent so act like it. 3. Read a book."
… says Zoe in Fashion Magazine.

cease and desist
Stop, leave off doing something, as in: "Bliss excavated at least once on his own and Dr. Brand ... told him to cease and desist" (Douglas Preston quoting Frank Hibben, The New Yorker, June 12, 1995). This legal term is a redundancy, since cease and desist mean virtually the same thing, but often appears in legal documents to avoid possible misinterpretation. [c. 1920]

Every year before the big summer holidays, I organize at least four supercars for track time and lots of road time in northern Italy. What I end up with always depends.
I really wanted the Koenigsegg CCR, but the car was deep into testing in Sweden and they only have one CCR for guys like me. Lamborghini had already committed the one available Murcielago coupe to something criminal in Moscow, but the Roadster was there if I wanted it. (I did, and I actually prefer it to the hardtop.) Ford GTs are seemingly non-existent for use in Italy and a Saleen S7 is even moreso when there's the chance that it might be compared to other mid-rear-engine supercars. And I love the Enzo, but I wanted the MC12. Maserati got me an MC12 Stradale and not with ease, because the only available press car had been crashed in Switzerland by some Swiss loafer. Pagani is fantastic about these things and their only Zonda F prototype was there for me. Likewise, Porsche came through with a black Carrera GT without any hesitation. The Murcielago Roadster-easily one of the most beautiful Italian supercars ever created-ended up working out brilliantly since I was able to remove the roof on it and also on the Porsche (they prefer calling it a roadster top) and the Maserati (they prefer the term "spyder") to keep the Lambo from feeling lonely.
Over two perfect sun-filled days just southwest of Parma, a few colleagues and I drove these four wondercars almost 300 miles, including two hours of track time at the circuit near Varano de' Melegari.
What is art?
In this ultra-chic segment of the market, it's very difficult to find any car that isn't mostly beautiful and a spectacular driver. That's why getting these four together in particular ended up being so interesting: I was able to make comparisons between cars which on any given day by themselves I'd automatically give a 10 out of 10.
Just briefly, the MC12 Stradale has awesome power delivery and belongs on the track. The Murcielago Roadster is the most comfortable every day for the most people and can cruise through gentle curves forever. Pagani's Zonda F wins on creativity and distinction, and it favors track time over road time though it handles both well. Finally, Porsche has created the shape that seems to appeal aesthetically to the most people, especially from the side profile, and it has the greatest amount of natural balance while driving at the limit in curves.
Seen from above, the Pagani Zonda F is absolutely the sexiest, with the MC12 in second place. Pagani's hourglass shape brings to mind a young Sophia Loren. From the front, I give it to the Porsche Carrera GT whose facial proportions may be perfect. Looking at the rear ends, the MC12 and Zonda F put on an amazing show, but the Murcielago Roadster captures the ideal edgy supercar image. From the side? That's a tough choice even after spending two days in perfect weather with all of them. I guess I might make it a tie between the Porsche and Maserati.
And how often will you see any of these on your local roads anyway? The Carrera GT and Murcielago Roadster probably come closest in that regard, but there will only be 1,500 of the first one worldwide and probably just a few less of the second. (Porsche recently announced that it will only plan for 1,250 Carrera GTs due to new United States airbag rules for 2006, but they now intend to sell those remaining 250 cars in other markets.)
I prefer the Murcielago Roadster to the coupe because, without the roof, the dynamic design of the rear end becomes a focal point. However, the cloth roof assembly that is included is the worst in the car business-if you buy one, take the roof into an onion field and burn it. Maserati should have left the roof of the MC12 Stradale intact instead of allowing it to be removed to create the spyder look. This design just doesn't look right without the roof. Meantime, Porsche has managed to design the Carrera GT to look good with or without the two roof panels attached. And then with the Zonda F, Pagani ought to as soon as possible design a removable roof solution for the F similar to that on the Pagani Roadster, easily the best removable supercar top in history.
Aside from the overall design, there are individual works of art easily found on each car. On the Murcielago, the one-piece forged 13x18-inch rear wheel created by Full Metal is the finest supercar wheel in the world. If I had to pick one item on the Zonda F, it would be the wood-accented steering wheel created for Pagani by Nardi. Maserati Corse has given the MC12 Stradale the most impressive pair of long hood air intakes I've ever seen; those three ultra-thin aerodynamic runners on each intake are fascinating. On the Carrera GT, I'd single out the two spectacular large lattice-work silver screens over the engine in back. What makes each of these details more artful still is that they wouldn't look right on any of the other three cars.
Last opinion:Lamborghini Murcielago Roadster
Designed by a non-Italian for German bosses, the Murcielago is still the best wedge-shaped Italian supercar design I know. And as a roadster it's even better because the beautiful rear end becomes a showpiece. Overall, I want a harder ride with less three-lettered drive technology involved. I like the all-wheel-drive idea, but now the 3,670-pound dry weight is about 400 pounds too much. Simplify the suspension engineering and lose some weight, and this could be the most perfect Italian exotic of all time. Adding power and making ceramic rotors available, as will happen with the new version for 2006, will help.

On track
I made the decision to start everything off with a couple of hours of track time at dawn. The 1.48-mile circuit at Varano de' Melegari is extremely good for motorcycles and GT driving schools. It's tight and narrow in the turns, has average run-off areas and four straight sections. So for these four big exotic cars, a lot of braking and acceleration in rapid transition was going to be needed. Given their size, precision at the wheel was another biggie.
Controlled oversteer is possible with all four cars, even the all-wheel-drive Lamborghini. Switching off traction control is the obvious first step in this exercise. It's valuable to play like this since it shows how controllable the car is. While the Murcielago and Zonda have a natural tendency to want to correct themselves to straight, both the Carrera GT and MC12 will gladly hold a slide if that's what you want. It was thrilling to try this in these cars at last and all four, particularly the Porsche, showed that they can handle almost any amount of speed you might carry into a turn.
In this scenario, the Lamborghini roadster demonstrated its preference for public roads. In tight left-right transitions on track, the weighty Murcielago sways in the rear end due to its softer suspension settings and slightly higher center of gravity. This is one of the reasons why most owners should just leave the Lamborghini's TCS on. Meanwhile, the Porsche, Maserati and Pagani are so low and stiffly set up that it's really difficult to make big mistakes even though they're all rear-wheel-drive. The 34/66 front/rear weight distribution of the MC12 may seem a challenge, but the elaborate aerodynamic design keeps it glued to the asphalt.The Pagani and Maserati have fixed aerodynamics, though you can pre-set the single rear wing angle on both for the downforce you want. Meanwhile, the Lamborghini has an automated rear spoiler with three angles possible depending on your speed, and also the very serious-looking Variable Air-Flow Cooling System (VACS) that uses two moving air intake manifolds over the rear quarters-quite the spectacle to watch. The biggest showpiece on the Porsche is the rear spoiler that deploys to a height of 6.3 inches whenever speeds exceed 75 mph.
That the Lamborghini doesn't yet have ceramic brake discs available is bad planning. Even worse, the Maserati MC12 will never get the chance to have ceramics unless owners spend a lot of their own money to get a pair of Enzo CCM discs directly from Brembo, if this will even be allowed. Not surprisingly, therefore, stopping in corners with the Pagani and Porsche ceramics was outstanding, while stopping the other two without ceramics is merely great (Lamborghini) and good (Maserati).
Important to the chemistry of any supercar is the sound of the exhaust during performance exhibitions at the track. If a supercar roar is what you seek-and I definitely do-then both the Maserati MC12 Stradale and Pagani Zonda F are right for you. One step down from these is the Lamborghini Murcielago, which again is the most reasonable for every day driving. Though everyone who drives the Carrera GT loves it, everyone also comments on the uninspired exhaust note. I, too, don't quite understand why Porsche didn't have more fun with it.
All four cars run on independent double wishbone suspensions with a sophisticated and compact pushrod damper at each corner. This is the only way to go when the lateral g-forces are regularly so high, hard turning is frequent and the overall ride height is so low to the ground. Every car performed exceptionally well for on-track handling and stability, only the Murcielago, as I've said, showed a softer setting than the other three. The Carrera GT and Zonda F both use a 19-inch front and 20-inch rear wheel/tire setup with Michelin Pilot Sport 2 tires, and I felt these two behaved the best on track.
Last opinion: Maserati MC12 Stradale
The "Stradale" part of the name is misleading. Simply stated: If you really want to drive this car properly, take it to a large track. Its 630 bhp and 471 lb-ft of torque demand long straights and sweeping curves, especially given the car's length. The sound of the exhaust and the sensation inside the cockpit are both completely amazing. The racing Cambiocorsa transmission is fast and fun, though it would be better with a higher redline than just 7700 rpm. I hope Maserati survives, because it needs to make more cars like this if only to dominate the FIA GT1 class.

On-road reality
It's kind of funny to speak with reps from supercar builders; they all generally want to convince you that their car is an everyday driver that you can enjoy like a rich man's Ford Mustang GT. The only one of these four I would suggest to a friend for everyday use is the Murcielago Roadster due to its softer suspension strategy, even though the scissor doors are an inconvenience for passenger entry and exit.
I'm not saying that you can't use the other three every day if you feel like it. Go ahead and drive all day in them. Just avoid routes that have too many bumps or holes. Overall, Italian road surfaces are pretty good and we all enjoyed all four cars over several miles free of traffic. But the stiffness built into the chassis of the Porsche, Maserati and Pagani makes it necessary to stop after every 150 miles to take a rest and get ready for the next 150. It's a physical workout in each of them, and if the drive is on smaller two-lane roads, the rest stops are needed even more.
Regarding the comment about the MC12 Stradale needing to stay at the track, I really mean a wide and long track like La Sarthe or Spa-Francorchamps, because the MC12 needs to stretch out and go at top speed to feel really right. So, on these twisting two-lanes out in the hills, though the MC12 can certainly drive these roads with ease, it would be best saved until weekend racing. Only then can it benefit from all that aerodynamic downforce designed into the elaborate bodywork. On the other hand, the Maserati is definitely a thrill on the highway while the sun is rising and there is no traffic. It is a supersonic jet that (thankfully) never takes off.
If the Carrera GT weren't fantastic under all road conditions, it wouldn't be a Porsche. I like this car better than any 911 simply because the front end is as stable as the rear end. Other than occasionally scraping its very low chin piece, the Carrera GT handles every road like a professional. There is a little harshness in the ride, but I like the level of roughness that Porsche has created here.
The finest quality of the Pagani Zonda F on the road is the fact that you can see absolutely everything out to the side and front. The design makes it so the view is panoramic, and this creates a high level of confidence and ease at the wheel. The transparent roof is another nice touch. Seeing what's behind you is much easier, too, thanks to new remotely adjustable side-view mirrors that are actually useful. This is also the most comfortable interior of the four which helps lessen the impact of the competition suspension settings. The custom-built six-speed transmission is easy and fast to shift via the short lever.
Ah, yes, but what's really the point of driving these incredible cars on the road? The point is that you want people to notice you. Each of these cars by itself can draw a crowd without even trying. Imagine having all four of them together driving through several towns and stopping for an occasional coffee. The crowds were everywhere we stopped and absolutely everyone turned a head to look. This is the point. These cars make you famous immediately if only for the fact that everyone has some idea of exactly how fast you could go if you felt like it. If you dared.
Last opinion: Pagani Zonda F
This is the perfect Zonda. The 602-bhp version of the AMG 7.3-liter V12 is one of the best engines of all time. Weighing so little and with so much power and torque, the Zonda F is a good competitor for the Maserati on a large, long track. Horacio Pagani always emphasizes the heart and soul of his hand-made cars and never the performance. I think he can start talking about performance a little bit more now. In this class, I see it as a bargain given the huge price for the MC12. There is some talk that Pagani Automobili is on a thin financial edge, but it's a company that always survives.

Last opinion: Porsche Carrera GT
Key to the Carrera GT equation is balance. Weight distribution of 42/58 is spot-on for a rear-mid-engine car. I think most people would drive away from here in this car after a lot of thought and debate. It's not just the weight configuration, but also the exterior proportions, the Porsche name and the steering response. As full packages go, this a good one. The Carrera GT, Boxster and Cayman S rear-mid philosophy is Porsche's way into the future and I have a feeling that 911 sales will make up less and less of the annual budget as time marches on.
