Saw some beautiful F355 tailights
Stopped at a light tonight, I am looking around and happen to notice something two cars behind me and in the other lane. Light turns green and I go slow in anticipation of what the mystery car will be. As it passes beside me, my jaw drops. It's a red Ferarri F355 Spyder. He gets some room and hops in front of me and gets on it a little bit. Just teasing me.
The light up ahead turns red and I speed up to catch him. There is a truck in the right lane but the left lane is empty. The guy takes the left lane and I slide in behind him. The light turns green and we both take off normal. Then I give it a little bit of gas and chirp into second. As soon as I hit second, the Ferarri got on it. I was with him for about a quarter of second gear. He just plain left me. As the gorgeous F355 sped off, I just laughed to myself. I had had my *** handed to me by a Ferarri...and I loved every minute of it! But it did make me realize that I need some 4.10's. BAD! I think I could take a short nap while I'm S-L-O-W-L-Y climbing through second http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/biggrin.gif ------------------ 89 GT 5-speed: Dynomax Cat-Back, Dynomax H-pipe w/cats, Pro 5.0, Densecharger Waiting for install: ASP Pulleys, Short Belt |
Finally. I swear every video clip, every post I've ever seen has somebody beating the F355. Sorry it had to be you, but just once I'd like those cars to win. LOL

I had some guy in a Porche 911 remind me why he paid so much more for his ride in the highway a while back. Nice taillights though, not sure what the front looked like...!-|

What did that Ferrari sound like when it was pulling away from you? It must have sounded sweet! I know what the F355 Spyder looks like, but what does sound like?
|
It actually sounded kinda like a ricer but with a more exotic note to it. High pitched but VERY NICE. He made my night. I can't wait till I can beat cars like that!

Sorry guys, but I had to butt in again. That Ferrari is sweet! 3.5 liter DOHC V8 you can rev to 8800 rpms, Mmmm baby. I'm buying a 4.6 DOHC Ford for my Mustang. But until then, I found a place in Las Vegas that will rent a F355 for 5 hrs for $500 or 25 hrs for $750. I'm going to Las Vegas, renting the F355, gambling and going to the Bunny Ranch. Dixie Cups and Kendra Jade here I come.

Al, are you gonna be able to squeeze all that in (pun intended) in 5 hrs. or even 25 hrs.?

The Ferrari F355 is a 3.5L DOHC 40 valve V-8. 375hp@8250rpm, 268lb/ft@6000rpm (also seen 266lb/ft@5800rpm).
Should run high 4's 0-60, and the quarter in the low 13's at about 110mph. (According to the mag guys) I would guess those cars are pretty damn finicky, so a really good driver could probably pull more out of it, but who knows? Top speed is around 180mph. |

LOL, that's right on with your pace or so. Unfortunately, you're 5 posts a day, and her 4.6 posts a day. Unfortunately, at the current pace, I'll still be about 1700 posts ahead in two years at about 5100. LOL. |
Yes, some of us are just more verbose than others. Let's see now, if I did 10 posts per day for X yrs.........

Only low 13's?? Man, I should try and find that guy next spring when I'll be packing heads, intake, and a cam.

Yep, with a trap speed that will get a stang low 12's with traction.
They aren't 1/4 mile drag machines, they are road race cars. That and try to hang with them to 180mph!! LOL. |
LOL....This is funny because I responded to a post at www.clubsi.com where a blown SI beat a F355(1/4) and I said "big deal, if you want to impress me beat it to 180mph".
The true test of the F355 is 100+. For most of us it would be real tough to beat him to 140. You may beat him in the 1/4, but with 3.73 or higher, he'll be gone after the 1/4. I'd like to know what the F355 does 80-140mph in. It's cool to see them on the street, they sound great too! ------------------ 1995 GT Black- Edelbrock 6037's,Intake,Edelbrock cam,70mm TB,75mm pro-m,Taylor wires, pulleys,Equal length headers,K&N filter Flowmaster,3.73's, Eibach pro rate springs lower control arms Centerforce clutch New motor in the works! |
