Default Raced a Ferrari F430

Aright guys, so im filling up (some 93 octane ) and an F430 Spyder comes up the block. After filling up, I'm driving around trying to find this thing. I find him and we just HAPPEN to be lined up at a red light, I rev, he revs back. Light turns green and we're off. I tell ya tho, he did NOT beat me by much. Maybe just by a fender or so. I wasn't at all mad loosing, I mean c'mon, its a Ferrari.

I heard a Ferrari rev up once when I was overseas, man American muscle will always sound badass but those things just sound out of this world. Its something you have to here in person, TV can't capture the sound of these machines. They are simple to loud and they have to many characteristics that can only be heard in person.

oh man, those cars really just wail. The sound is sooooo sweet.

Recently I drove a porsche cayman s for a couple hours as I was thinking of trading in for one. They really have a nice sound to them too. Very mechanical right behind your head.


But I tell you, in a strange weird way. Since I did the intake and tune on the stang, when I am really flogging the car. And nailing the 2-3 shift and the 3-4 at wot at 6500. Sometimes the car really has a very exotic sound to it. These 3v motors have a very unique tone to them at 5500+ rpm.

In Memphis, there was always this guy in a silver one that never got out of 2nd gear, at least thats what it sounded like, going down Germantown Parkway. Very nice sound.

the poster is full bolt-on, and his name is 2006GTSC, so there might be boost in the equation? If so, it seems to be a fairly believable contest.
