This is probably the most frustrating thing that has happened to me while crusing around...

I pull into a gas station and see a nice 308 Ferrari, older ferrari. Two older rich looking guys are in it. I take my time gassing up my car since they just pulled in. We leave the gas station and I follow . We just happen to turn onto the same road and what do you know up to a red light and there are no cars around except a car full of 20 year old guys behind me.

I look over at him and throw a rev. He laughs at me. I compliment his car and ask him what he runs in the 1/4. He says he doesnt know. I ask him how fast his car his, and his reply "Much faster than THAT". He said this while lighting a big fat cigar. I told him to prove it.

Meanwhile the kids behind me are screaming and yellin at us to race. The light turns green and I get a really good start. I look and see that he didn't bite.

So I wait for him to catch up and drop to 2nd, break the tires loose and take off. He still doesn't bite, looks a bit surprised I was capable of breaking the tires loose.

Stupid old rich guy. I got a good place for him to stick that cigar. His car may be, I think it is, faster than mine, but damn what a shitty way for things to happen. I would have rather raced, lost, and seen how close I was to the ferrari.

it probably isn't as fast..i don't know what year the 308 is from, but if it's 1990 or earlier you would take it.

can't blame him for not wanting to street race with that car, i mean ferrari parts are not the most cheap to replace.

And at the end of the day, he still drives a Ferrari and bangs your girl.

No, it's not faster or quicker than a Stock LS1 F-Body.

weight is around 3200-3300 lbs for a US model

0-60mph in 8.0 to 6.5 depending on model and year.
Top speed is : Who the hell cares? (it's < 150) You would be so far gone by the time he got there it wouldn't matter anyway.

Intercooled single turbo kitted 308s typically make a heart stopping 250-300hp!!!

My grocery getter (2000 GTP) will smoke a 308.....

Just for reference:A Lamborghini Countach LP5000 quattrovalvole would lose a drag race to a stock LS1 F-Body.The LP400 would run the same times in the 1/4 as my GTP. The Lambos do however have a much better top speed (185+).

Another example of peoples boyhood fantasties getting in the way of reality. "Exotic" cars are not as quick as the majority of people think.

At the end of the day, I woop up on a ferrari...bang my girl and do his wife. He bangs your girl. You must not have any game.

Rice Burner- He didn't want to race you because he knew he would've gotten stomped. He saved his "rich guy" image by not racing. Most Ferrari's aren't that fast in a straight line.

So if someone gets a hold of a 20 year old $25,000 Ferrari there's a good chance they can be drillin your wife/girlfriend?

I guess that's what happens after she gets sick of waiting for the old man to fix the rotary motor so she can go out.

Rice Burner

LOL. He wishes he was bangin my girl. Thanks for the info. I knew the older ferraris weren't as quick as the newer ones but you guys put it into better perspective. Thanks. Damn I wish he raced me.

Yeah but at the end of the day, I'm still banging MY girl.........

**** having a Ferrari!
I wish I could find that yellow ferrari that trolls around my parts.

What yellow Ferrari? Ain't seen no dang Ferrari 'round here, that's fur sure

Off of Dyer and that street GI supply is on, there's an Italian restuarant on the corner of that intersection.
The owner has a yellow ferrari! Swing by some time in the summer. Keep a look out, probably stored it already. I KNOW I have seen it, and it wasn't a kit car!

Camaro00_SS

I thought mebbe you were talking about that yellow Honda S2000 that I see on post sometimes...He tried me once in the T/A when we were leaving out Haan gate (up the overpass), my wife waved to him as we blew past him!! Funny ****, his expression

02PHOENIX

COME ON! Give me more credit than that! I know how to tell a Honda S2000 from a freaking Ferrari!

Skarecrow

yeah. it's easy to tell. the honda revs higher than the ferrari. duh.

hahah

02PHOENIX

Yeah, DUH!!

My guess is he's some limp dick who can afford the car, but actually doesn't have the skill to drive it correctly... You probably would have made him look like a fool.

MillaTK

wow, what an arrogant bastard that guy was...

Where I live ferraris are almost a dime a dozen. Mostly the 360 modenas. I run into the same problem you have all the time. Most of them laugh when they see the roll cage and the racing seats. But when I tell them to put thier money where thier mouth is, all of a sudden they have to go or "oh wait, my wife is on the cell".

On occasion I get one to bite and the outcome for them isnt all that great.

I think you'd get taken on the top end. You don't know anything about high speed runs anyway.

I never see any high end sports cars. Too bad, I'd really like to hand them their ***.

B-MAN

You could have killed him on a stock motor,let alone a modified car. He knew it and was afraid to engage, that's what happened more thae likley.
