Default raced ferrari f430 dealer tags

Im in in my 99z28 h/c car. raced from 60mph to 125mph. He got a half car jump on me at the start due to the fact he was in front and dictated the start. I was in third gear of T400 auto. Stayed with the guy the entire time and at 110mph started to quickly catch up with my rpm's in the sweet spot. We shut down at 125 or 130. I gave him a thumbs up he gave me a nod. I can only imagine he has new respect 4 GM products. I will visit ferrari dealership and find this guy. I looked up times 4 f430 and they are 11.7 in qtr. I have run best of 11.7 so far. I had 28" tall et streets on car for the first time. I have 4.11 gears. Great fun it was.

Guess I can't read. So you were behind the whole time and got a kill?

I stayed with him and at 110mph I gained very well. No its not a kill and I never said it was. I considered the chance to race a Ferrari a blessing. The guy was nice,I was nice, and no I would not beat him on a road course. I don't get to race much outside the track.

Considering the fact that anyone with an F430 has VERY little seat time in it as of right now, I'd imagine their course time would reflect as much when compared to a 360 with a driver who has a LOT more seat time.

That said . . . I'd be more than happy to tell you the outcome if given the chance to race an F430 on a course in my Car
