Default What a blast today

Hello everyone, I am new to the forum but today I had a blast with my 03 Z06. My buddy owns a Ferrari Testarossa and his Ferrari chat friends showed up driving 2 2000 360's and a 550 marinello. The one 360 was shipped from Atlanta and it had some mods done to it.

The Z06 handled like a champ on the straight aways and cornoring. It literally was pushing the 360's into a hissy fit becasue it was just as fast if not faster at times.

Man what a great day never pushed the car as i did today and i was impressed.

Sounds like you had some fun, you should be able to smoke a stock 360 and be as fast as or faster than a 550 Maranello, that car weighs almost 4000lbs and it has less than 500HP gross.

It is all power to weight for straight line acceration, don't be fooled by all the expensive, exotic stuff I would not be suprised if your Z06 wasn't the fastest out there today

That would have been cool hanging with those Ferrari's, wish I was there!

You guys should have done some burnouts in people's driveways!

that's sooo true!!haha I recall a few years ago, someone told me they had this anniversary edition GT fiero..it was the last one made or something and they didn't drive it much for the "collector" reason!! I said wow, that must be worth a bit more then a normal fiero huh? about $1500 or so?? he was all mad for some reason...and I was being nice...they're usually about $800 or so, sight unseen, I figured I'd give him the benefit of the doubt..

How bout that, money enough to buy a 360, then spends even more to make it look stealth! Wow!

There is a guy that comes to the 427 C/Tire show, that has his Fieroari all modded out with real tail lights,factory looking wheels etc. For the show he even puts embroidered Ferrari patches, with double sided tape on his seats. Looks clean, and he's obviously spent alot of time, but WHY?
