Default Ferrari 360!

it wasn't a kill unless you look at it the guy was a *****. anybody know the specs on them at all?. it was a yellow '01 Ferrari 360 that i'd seen before but not this up close. anyway first light i gave it some gas to see if it was on but he wouldn't go. He paced me and reved at me and that's it. i got a 2nd light next to him and he reved at me so i reved it back at him. light goes green and nothing. well i let him get in front of me so i can switch into the left lane. i don't like being on the inside. I catch up to pace him from about 40mph in 3rd. His passenger kinda looked over and laughed as he pointed and looked back over at the driver. I kinda got irritated then because of that and when he was next to me i dropped her in to 2nd and canned it through 2nd and the beggining of 3rd. I let him catch up again and the passenger had a very unhappy look on his face that time. I got another light next to him and offered to run him for money. He STILL wouldn't do it. He said he didn't trust not getting nailed by the cops so i offered to go out on a back road but he just turned off real quick. i really wanted to race him. ~Cole~

Nothing special, they run mid 12's. But they are beautiful cars and sound like sex. I have ridden in one before, a member had a new one out last year and took me for a ride. That bitch screamed, but it was modified. I'd drive one.

oh yeah it was gorgeous do doubt.I just was curious. It did sound nice when he revved it at me. i wanted to see how i'd do. I think it would be good from a stop but not from a roll. He'd rape me the longer we went.

Midengine cars can get great traction early on, though most of the drivers probably dont know about launching. I think you would hang OK early on given a good launch, then, yeah, he'd pull.

I took one down in my old car... Your victory is short lived when you both hit the brakes from 120mph and he is sitting at 30mph while you hoping to get stopped in the next few blocks.

Local shops are the key. I dont buy into this huge lab R&D BS when it comes to plumbing. In any major city your going to find a guy who is an artist with a mandrel bender and a welding rig and plasma cutter who can make some sick headers and exsaust systems for almost anything.

Even an average builder will be able to fab a nice exsaust from the cats back for a grand at most.

Im not a big fan of the 360s it just seems like its more of a daily driver type of car not a exotic or supercar (whatever you want to call it). But I guess thats the way most Ferraris seem like to me except the Enzo. This is just me here now I know most people probaly wouldnt agree with me but if your going to get a exotic I would want to be different.

Problem. If you ever try to sell a Ferrari, with aftremarket parts that are not of the highest quality, then you can easily turn the buyer off. You would not believe how hard it is to sell a Ferrari with aftermarket parts that are homemade or custom.

Interesting view. A daily driver type? What are Porsches, economy cars?

The 360 is considered one of the best handling, most balanced and beautiful of the exotics. Basically it seems you're not a Ferrari fan. But I agree, there is something special about Lambos...

True, but people aren't stupid. If they have a 200,000 car, they bought because they like the style and that it is already fast. I don't think they would waste there timing putting a 2600 exhaust on the car. Even though they are rich, im sure they know that 2600 for an exhaust is stupid and not worth it. (Unless they are planning on making there car really fast)

You'd be surprised how readily people will eat up blatant BS.
