Got to drive a 360
I have a friend that has a Farrari 360 got to take it for a spin
I have to say that the car is a rock star any place you stop they all come to check it out VERY
car
But as far as power ride and handling a stock c5 ZO6 seems to be better from what I can remember when she was stock. So I guess If I had that kind of money to spend on one car I would buy a few Vettes mod them up and keep the change lots of change
Anyone else taken a high end car for a ride and felt the same?

Angelo, you took a Farrari out for a spin and didn't call me?!
Remind me to smack you in the mouth the next time we see each other!
Sounds like you have a good time all in all! Very !

The 360 is a joke. It's got 275tq @ the crank. That means it's got like 230rwtq.
But for the price of a Vette, you can buy a few 5.0's, and mod them up to stomp a vette into the ground, and have change left over. Most people don't buy their cars for speed alone.

Yes a 360 sucks for torque... but in all seriousness I'd slow down to be driving a 360 sypder.
They do have 400 hp and w/ the right driver they'll run mid to high 12's.

Lucky you, the 360 is a very nice car, regardless of whether or not it can beat a C5.

I'd be more than happy to slow down also.

if you have the cash, you could buy a 360 and throw in a turbo or supercharger.. there is a guy/shop in Florida that mods Lambos and Ferraris like that..that would put you in the 11's There are Lambo Gallardos with 600+ Hp

Micah,
I hope your doing well I was in Atlanta on some business and ran into a friend he was always telling me how fast it was well we have all seen the numbers and the test. But let me tell you it was slow rode ruff and the handling was about the same as our Z maybe even a little tighter.I could not get toO 
in that Atlanta traffic you know.
When he comes to SC next time I will take him for a little ride but like I said it gets a lot of attention we went to a club they let us park right in front and roped it off. That never happens when we take the Vettes out

i would say they are probably making closer to 260rwtq. and anyways ferraris are not made for torque
