Our cars run right with F355's with a couple bolt-ons, and I think that's awesome. But yeah, the 360 Modena's seem to just run away after a while lol.
This is all from stats and heresay: I've yet to run any kind of Ferrari.

you were spraying a 150 shot and lost bad 
They weigh about 3100 lbs and have 400hp (about 350rwhp) & you weigh about 3600lbs and would have about 450rwhp + a boat load of torque if your spraying a 150 shot. In my book you should have won!
PS- You hvae to wind them out to get into the power band and also, those cars don't have **** for torque either:
Horsepower 400@8500 RPM
Torque 275@4750 RPM

Yeah they only are rated 275TQ at the ENGINE!!!
I've killed more than a few F355's in all trims (Spyder, Berlinetta, and GTS) in a lid/cut-out TA. This one time I pulled up to the red light right next to this guy in a red F355 Spyder. I rev it up, and he looks over and says in a snobby attitude "You're going to need to spend more than $20,000 to beat this," and he laughed. I knew I could take F355's because it wasn't the first one I raced, so I look over and say "Wanna bet?" The light turns green and we hit it. We ran up to about 100 and then we come to the next stop light. I had a full car-length on him when we shut down. We are sitting at the next red light, and the guy doesn't even want to look over at me. The light turns green and he obviously doesn't want to go anymore. He honks to get my attention, and then FLIPS ME THE BIRD, and does a U-Turn immeadiately at the first place he could. That was classic! Whether you win or lose it's always fun to race exotics.

Yeah, neither the F355 or the Modena are very fast for their price tag. I am pretty sure a Z06 is faster than a Modena and look at the price difference. Granted one is a ferrari and the other a Chevy but we are just talking racing here...

The fastest time I have seen recorded for a 360 modena was 12.2 @ 119. This was on one of the later models. Now they have the F430 out which makes a Modena look slow, they run 11.7 @ 123. Sick cars. By the way, how did you lose with a 150 shot? Were you spraying?
