As others have indicated...

-You beat the driver
-Your car is alot slower than an F430
-The car was not an automatic (clutchless sequential) and shifts alot faster than you are capable

Pointless to argue cold hard facts. Your car is slower than the F430. You are talking about trying to get into the 12's with your car, yet boasting about beating a car quite capable of getting into 11's, bone stock???

Pointless to argue facts, but the OP said he lost, and either way, he's just explaining what happened. He's not saying that his car is faster than the Ferrari, he's not saying that the driver was amazing, he's not saying that his fbody is capable of 11 second 1/4's....he said that he pulled on a Ferrari on one roll and lost on the second....anything can happen on the street

Calm down with the caps lock.

Your word choice and presentation made it look otherwise. Obviously you just corrected yourself.

All u guys are getting this whole thing wrong. I know for a fact that I can not beat an excotic like that, what happened, happened. Not my fault he didn't know how to run his car. Like if u loose to a bone stock civic SI.. Doesn't mean he won, just means u messed up somewhere and he got to point B first. When I get another chance I will talk to the guy and ask him if he was messing with my feelings

Example: when one of my friends got his 05GT he would clown on me saying he would spank my GTA(this is before I got my LS1) so I said let's do this. We ran the first time from a dig at a light, I spanked him like 4 cars. And we all know a TPI can't beat a 3V stang.

I think some of you need to stop nut-swinging for a second and go back and re-read the OP's story. Cause you didn't get it the first time!

[QUOTE=mannyman84;13210897]the first run was from a high roll in 1st gear i had my rpm around 4800 not sure what MPH but i honked it off and by the end of my third i had half car on him, probably a little less, then slowed because of rail road tracks. QUOTE]

The issue is that the OP is making sound like the above happened because the driver doesn't know how to drive. I don't see any evidence of this.

In my opinion, the OP didn't beat the car nor the driver as, in my opinion, the driver was never trying and you have to understand that stories like the one above paired with titles such as "Called out a ________" are misleading.

I don't think anybody is upset he ran a ferrari, nor are they upset at the outcome. What's being rejected is the notion, which is being introduced by the OP, that a stock LS1 f-body can beat (or even keep up with) a Ferrari
F430.
