JIMMY540 is this your car?

could be his, they look very similar

 

Yes, it's my car and it was a col meeting.

 

Jimmy how does the Ferrari feel compared to your BMW in terms of acceleration and overall performance. ??

 

His 540 is faster.
He beat a 996TT before in his 540 in drag race.

 

I even beat a Viper (the guy has a Venom chip too) See here:

I wonder what my new 360 can do @ California Speedway....

 

Cool, where is that at?


SC = Supercharged Mini Cooper?

 

Cool! Good deal. Thanks.

Honk if you see me on the road.

 

I have to say Jimmy you have one of the most beautiful 360's I have ever seen in photos.

 

I know his 540 is faster but how does the Ferrari feel at higher speeds, handling and pull wise etc. Great color combo the wheels are nice to.

 

Jimmy,
Saw your thread at the Ducat chat at speedzilla.zeroforum.com. Sorry that everyone is treating you like that. The flat tires are pretty much due to bad luck, although you should check to make sure that you are running correct tire pressures. The Pilot Sports are better handling tires than Metzeler's I have found, despite being told the opposite. Neither has any flat protection. I get about 1700 miles out of a set of a set of street tires before they need replacing so I would think that your tires are ready to go anyway. Hope this helps.

 

Thanks man.

 

The 540i is quieter (with an occational Supercharged Whine which I really like), it feels like 45 while doing 85.

The Ferrari is indeed louder (thanks to Tubi) and very quick due to its light weight. I have not tried my 360 at the dragstrip, I will take some time to do so and post results.

The only mistake I've made in buying the BMW a few years ago is that I didn't wait 3 more month to get a 6-Speed Manual (yes..yes..yes... all my 3 BMWs are AUTOMATIC, I've heard enough... )

So... It took me a long time to find a 6-Speed 360 Coupe, and it's a good one too. Worth every penny.

 

Thanks for the tips, as for some individuals at the Ducati forum, I'm really okay with them because the world is full of different level of cars, bikes and people.

 

Just curious. What modifications have you made to your 540? What is the HP at the rear wheels? Quarter mile times? Thanks!

hey Jimmy, you have some amazing cars.


just a quick question, are the daytona style seats comfortable?

 

Surprisingly, yes.

 

why do you say surprisingly? (or was that sarcasm). They look really comfy

 

Actually they look kinda hard compare to the seats on my Mercedes/ BMWs. No saracasm here.
