is a 360 actually quicker to 100 mph than a 360cs?

I saw some stats that say the CS take a second longer to get to 100 mph...is this true?

 

depends. If both cars are privately owned, then they are pretty similar. If either car is a rental, figure it will be faster by AT LEAST a second.

 

haha, rental adds -50 HP i guess

 

If the normal one is a manual, yes. Everyone knows flappy paddles suck up at least 50hp.

I think Rob had this exact comparison in one of his videos, and the Modena walked several CS cars.

 

Probably due to gearing. The CS may have to go through more gears before it hits 100 mph because of shorter gear ratios.

 

Don't see how that's possible being that the CS is lighter and has a few more ponies....if I remember R&T got to 60 .2 quicker with a CS.

 

I have owned both cars and the Stradale is a tad quicker... its a lighter car, about 110kg lighter, combined with increase of maximum power out of the 360's V8 thus making it as I said, a tad quicker... then gain it always depends on the driver...

 

shouldnt more gears = faster accel?

 

Gotham's 360 was a well broken in Euro-spec car that was running straightpipes and was tuned up a little as well. It felt significantly faster than the bone stock 360 spider.

 

Exactly, but as far as a highway pull i think CS would be quicker topend!

 

I know Shivam made this thread just for comparison purposes but why bother who's faster? Everyone knows you buy exotics to be a baller, not go faster then the next guy. Because there's cheaper, more reliable cars that will do that if that's all that was cared about.

 

i have to be honeset im skeptical of teh CS, ferrari has always had some pretty shady practices when it comes to thier numbers...it really wouldnt surprise me if it isnt all its made up to be. itd be a good race, problem would be controlling all the variables (flabby paddle gear box or not, down to the type of tires)

 

yeah not like whos faster or what, but id think that the lighter "racecar" would be faster to 100. Just curious as to why this may be.

 

Hey Chris
what i think Shivam should do is sell that jap car, and a few more and go buy a real man's car.
Shivam i see a 355 in your Future.

Actually I think you have it completely backwards. I car that doesnt go out in the rain, cant go over pot holes, you have to baby the paint, it catches on fire. Sounds to me like a terrible girl friend or a girliegirl Racing car.....

lets see your 360 do this and not crumble into 50 million pieces:

Dame Shivam this guy can drive, Wow he can outdrive any of us any day.

 

yeah all I ever do anymore is watch WRC clips on youtube. I love WRC. Heading up to rally school a the end of may most likely. Evo is getting a rollcage soon.

 

wow, i was thinking to myself "ooo he lost it....WAIT he meant to do that? amazing!"
