blueovalz Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 Yep, and I didn't do half bad 8). I was heading out of town, and got behind him on the way out. As the traffic thinned out, he slowed down to about 35mph (on a four-lane highway). I slowed down with him, and downshifted to an "appropriate" gear. Just as I was about to change lanes toward the inside lane, I saw that he had nailed it (surprising amount of "light brown" exhaust gas when he pushed it to the floor) . Not to be outdone, I nailed it as well. I slowly crept up on him through the end of 2nd gear , held side by side in 3rd , and then he slowly gained the advantage midway through 4th gear . By then my gonads had shriveled up to nothing and felt it the better part of valor to slow back down below the triple digit speeds we had reached (I don't mind a 1-2 pull, but even on the open highway, a 3rd gear max starts getting to be a little over the edge). Anyway, this validated my 3 timed runs (last week) of 0-60, which averaged 4.11 seconds. After this incident, we both pulled over and reviewed each other's car. It was then that he claimed he had a "1 out of 150" special edition 360 Modena that had a factory installed 500hp (100 over the normal 360s) engine. He also claimed that he was not "in it all the way", but IMHO you don't get that much exhaust from anything other than WOT. Anyway, it was another "blue and white" (not Williams) attempt to beat the "red" team. BTW, this car (the Modena) is absolutely awesome, from it's brakes, to the under tray and diffuser, to......everything! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

80LS1T Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 Sweeeeeeeet! I dont know if I would even attempt to mess with a new Ferrari. Of course I have no clue as to whats what when it comes to exotics. I would mess with an older one but the new ones....I dont know? Where do you even get a Ferrari in Little Rock AK? LOL(sorry being a little stereotyplical...."doesnt everyone drive trucks down there?" ) Way to prove to him that he's not the only guy with a fast and nice looking car on the road! (yours is much cooler in my opinion!!) Guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueovalz Posted September 13, 2004 Author Share Posted September 13, 2004 Where do you even get a Ferrari in Little Rock AK? LOL(sorry being a little stereotyplical...."doesnt everyone drive trucks down there?" ) You're almost right on with that comment. I was a little taken back as well. I had no idea anybody in LR had one. I was told by this driver that his SL500 got rear-ended by a kid, was being repaired, and that the 360 was his daily driver until he gets the MB back. Man! What a life! Anyway, I walked out to the edge of the highway and requested he do a hard pull as he left just so I could listen to the "music" as he drove off. Really nice guy. I guess I need to hang out in West LR more often and see if I can find a Turbo Porsche next Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
