Default Got on freeway behind Ferrari 360 Modena

Got on the freeway just behiind a 360. I was in third when he got on it, we were absolutely dead even from about 60 to 90. :lol: We had to back off since we rapidly came up on a CHP by the road, and sure enough there was another one further on down. :cry

I heard him shift about 80, and from the jerk of his car I could tell he was getting on it. My only mod is the Vortex Ram Air - this can give you guys an idea of where the Corvette is.

:cool:

sounds like a cool expereince. The 360 Modena from a performance standpoint isnt that much different than a C5. Plus the power is very peaky.

Modena becomes alive at about 90 mph and pulls very strongly all the way to 160 mph.
