Ferrari Berlinetta? Ok so i'm driving to work yesterday sitting at a stop light when a red ferrari drives by going in the direction of my work. I catch up to him but by then i have to turn again. He follows me into the turn lane lane and is directly behind my car. He revs, i return the favor. We turn onto a nice long stretch of road, we clear a couple cars around us, by now i'm in second gear at about 2500 rpm. He switches lanes to get to my right and guns it. I wait until his nose is about even with my front fender and i go WOT at about 3200 rms, i'm waiting for him to fly by me but nothing. Shift to third at 5300 and i can hear his engine reving sooo high and still we're dead even, near the top of third a truck about 150 yards ahead is pulling out in front of us so we both shut down. I'm thinking how did i not just get raped by this thing. The guy turned after that but i saw him driving by me, mid twenties, i don't think the car was his, with a big *** grin on his face. I think it was a Berlinetta, they're rated at 390 hp and like 270 lbft torque. It was by far the sickest race i've ever had in my car.

355's have been clocked at 12.8 - 13.0 @ 110-112 mph, not to hard too beat. A LS1 with a few bolt-ons or drag radials would do it. Now a 360 with the paddle-shift transmission in the right hands 12.20's. Just make sure you don't run into an Enzo 11.0's @ 134 mph!
