355 race

Allan a Testarossa isn't a dog bellow 100 mph, if you take it to a real race track not a stupid drag strip then you will find out how fast it trully is, and I bet your Diablo is fast as hell but I also bet that you don't have the skills to exploit that chasis to its limits. Its not how fast the car is but how fast can you make it be in the track. Any F1 pilot will blow your doors off in a Testarossa and you in your Diablo in a racetrack, theres always a faster car, but theres always a faster driver in a slower car.

 

Wow, lots of domestic owner stereotypes and eliteism here by a few.

The Mach 1 being Auto will run high 13s probably if the driver is decent, (can launch). The auto in the stang is alot different than the auto in the F-Body. My automatic Z28 ran a 13.2 @ 106 completely bone stock at a sub-par track.

To those who say racing in a straight line requires no skill. Bring your Ferrari out one day to a Friday night street night at the local strip and see if you can make it to the 2nd round in bracket racing. All forms of racing require skill, some in different areas than others. Overly broad blanketing remarks are silly.

Oh, and I've pulled away from a 355 from a 30 roll. Was around 2 cars by 120ish. Also hung with a 360 spider exactly from 20-110ish, he started pulling ever so slightly when we both let off for traffic. Could be the driver, who knows. I put down low 300s to the wheels.


Allanlambo, your cars (past and present) are just sick. Wish I knew what a 150 shot on a Diablo felt like.

 

kick his ass sea bass

 

You should be fine, just let the wife have some practice with you there and should kill the rustang.

BTW

I have read a lot of your posts on here and think you get too much crap for being resident "troll". You always backup your statements with magazine reports or something and always stay on topic even though people always try to change it. (ie "Originally Posted by Testacojones

Anyway enough assk issing. I know you like 911s and especially modded 911s. I was wondering about your thoughts on the RTurbo by Ruf. Have you ever driven one? how was it etc? Just curious. Here is a link to one in DFW area, It still had the Gumball3000 stickers on it.

Is it still raining over there in Paradise? What's the status of this race ?

Inquiring minds want to know !

 

I've been following this thread every day - I wanna hear about Allen's wife kicking some rustang butt dammit!
Allen, keep us posted.

allan I want to hear about the race to, Tell him he gets two runs 1 in the 355 and one in the Diablo SV without spray unless he wants it.

 

A-

As the owner of a 99 Cobra, which is more powerful then the Mach 1, you will have no issue. The F355 will take it. Even though it could be a little close at the start due to his gearing. Just dont miss a shift.

Cheers!

It's amazing what owning a Mustang can do to some people's brain chemistry. I have been challenged to races by Mustang drivers more than any other car out there, by a longshot. Didn't matter whether I was driving a Corvette, BMW, Porsche, or Ferrari. Last summer a guy in a Stang pulled up next to me and revved the snot out of his engine. I looked over at him with the you-must-be-crazy-if-you-think-you-can-beat-my-car look.

 

tick-tock-tic-tock.......

 

any new news on the race. ? I cant wait

 

What kind of mods does your 355 have, What are the 0-60 times after the mods. ?

The spyder does 0-60 in around 4.6-4.7 stock.

 

Friend of mine has a Mustang Cobra with supercharger and mods. Turned a 12 sec. quarter at Kansas City International Raceway about two weeks ago. That's a very fast quarter. His wife drives it to work daily.

There's always one faster!

 

What do you think happens at the start of a track race Allan?.

I'll remind you. In countries where real racing occurs it is a standing start!, thus tracking your car requires that you can launch your car with the best of them and ALSO go around corners, brake properly ... EVERYTHING!
