Ferrari 360 Modena

Post by toasty » Tue Apr 22, 2003 8:59 am

I had a traffic lights grand prix with what I think was a Ferrari 360 Modena on the weekend.

Saw it driving around near me, so thought I'd follow it on the off chance that we might end up at the lights at the same time.

.... and we did! [img]images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

After a fair bit of revving and looking over at each other(and the girlfriend looking pensive) we sped off.

I was quite pleased, he won obviously, but it was neck and neck up to 45 at which point he started to accelerate away quite strongly.

First time I've been beaten off the lights [img]images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

You'd need a modded RS4 to beat a 360 modena stats by the looks of things. Still, would of been interesting to see how well a modded S4 would've coped. Did you get a good launch ? What's your technique ?

It's ok now though, I'm over it.

I wiped the floor with an old 911 (with whaletail) on the M4 yesterday! [img]images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

It is double demerit points here now for the 3rd week. Anyway, not many ferraris drive around here either.

Year, it's the same here. The people don't wont to pay so much money for their cars, (and petrol). But I know sb. who has a ferrari 550 maranello, mercedes sl 55 AMG, mercedes sl 500, and he wants to buy the new Mercedes SLR. Crazy!
Well if you are a bit stupid [img]images/graemlins/062802beat_prv.gif[/img] [img]images/graemlins/062802drink_prv.gif[/img]and if you have enough money it'll be ok.

I bottled an encounter with an Enzo last week just after leaving Maranello. There was no way I was gonna be the first idiot to think he could outrun an Enzo in a 265bhp TT whilst filming with a camcorder!! Film here (425Kb)
