I think that if he drove his car flawlessly he might edge the ferrari out but it all comes down to the driver and who knows how many times he can repeat his best run.
1995 355 -stock

208rwtq
1996 355 -tubi muffler, no cats, custom air intake, tuning

And WTF are you on, go to any race track and a F355 will WALK all over an Fbody. The fact that an N/A 3.5 litre car kept up with some giant American V8 is actually pretty good all things considered.

A 355 will not walk a f-body....its a drivers race.....
And the euro f-bodys are a little bit weaker than the us models......

). I waited till we pulled past the speed camera (70mph limit) and pulled over into the other lane and floored it. They didn't get past until I lifted at 110mph.They carried on upto I don't know what speed (their choice
). Not sure of the bike but it looked like a Suzuki or something 1000cc, probably about 8 years old or so.

my 93 Formula... the "186mph" is what a cop clocked me at,178mph for the ferrari.
and the end of 2nd gear,is 94mph...and if you are racing another car,and the other car quits at 94mph,then yes,it was a race.

Just b/c it may not be the fastest drag racer on the black, the car is by no means a joke. An F355 is 10X nicer than your whole signature combined. I think most of what you say is total BS.

Are you saying you that your 13.6 ET 93 FORMULA 174K mi LT1 can get up to 186? What kind of gears are you running?
And why would you race to that high of speeds?...Dude that's not very safe, even if you have a rollcage. It's your life, just make sure you're not going to take someone else's life for your SPEED ADDICTION.
