We have a Ford GT, and 2 Lambo's here???? I need to take my blinders off while I'm driving
Nice run BTW, he was definitely into more than he claimed...Fun though, no doubt!

dude I seen an orange one down here in okc on the highway. Tried to get him all fired up but he wasnt havin it. He just kinda looked over at me with a a grin, if he would have put the pedal down he might have **** his pants to see me hangin beside him. dude looked pretty young maybe 30-35.

Took out an F355 when I was stock from 20-80mph. Got the jump and kept it. Those cars aren't drag cars though, they are just beautifully designed and incredibly engineered pieces of mehcanical artwork.

Lol...
Talk about a (possible) coincidence.
Don't they run like mid-high 12's though?...
Kind of hard for a stock F body to beat that....
Great looking cars though... probably my favorite Ferrari...
or an F50...Oh yeah, if you don't mind my asking, do you own a 355?

I really think the guy couldn't shift or something. It was just the right circumstances... I saw him coming behind me, we both turned the corner, i held it at 3500 in first and hit it as soon as i saw his nose next to my door. Hit a perfect 1-2, then 2-3 like never before and then shut it down 1/2 way into third b/c of traffic and a wicked turn coming up. I have no doubt he would have reeled me in and kicked my *** up top IF there was just a little more room .... however ...

No I dont own a 355 but have the pleasure to drive one every weekend when I wash my uncles (or take to prom and the wheel fell off!). I raced an LS1 WS6 with full bolt ons and tune in the Ferrari and bearly lost to it from a 20mph-90ish race. The Ferrari has noooo torque but loves to rev (9,500!!!!!!). Cant wait to drive uncles new 360 ha it shouldnt be legal for a 19 year old to have that much fun.

im not sure what is up with the new Z06 but there all over the place down here already. ive seen 2-3 a week for the last month. i cant wait until my LS2 403ci is done, so i can start hitting them up for a race. while my '04 Z06 is down. in the mean time my daily driver is '88 jeep cherokee, might throw a ls1 in it, when the inline 6 craps out.

Its a shame, you own a Z06... come on...
You would be suprised how well some of our american cars do on the road course.
The Z06 give all the exotics fits arounds the track.
and the CTSV does the same to the European Ultra Sedans.
Farraris are used for 2 things... to be turned into ultimate race cars by race teams with deep pockets, or for 50 year old women, with fake **** that are married to doctors.

thats not a Z06, he just has the wheels from a Z06...
i totally agree our american race cars are good for more than 1/4 mile runs.
anyone heard of the C5R? take that bitch to the track and it owns ferrari's *** and still costs 100k less. full prepped 5R is around 250k, ferrari F360 is 350-400k fully prepped. the whole reason they made the F430 was to be able to run in the lemans serious with a new car designed just to beat the C5R. but now they have the C6R to deal with and with the LS7 being a factory production motor and car, they will have some more **** to deal with.
some one needs to go check multiple road racing series, take notes and get back to us.
