How fast did you drive your Ferrari?

Far out Steve!! You certainly are MAD!! Cool pics! Becareful out there at warp speed brother!

 

Fastest I've done was 275km/h on my 90 TR & sustained @ 260+/- for 1hr+/-the car was steady but a lot of rattling from the cabin, my right mirror seems to ripping off & windnoise was bad probably due to a window seal. It could go higher but I chickened out. I was on 19" Pzeros. Maybe the meter wasn't accurate but I left a lot of 360s behind & my friend's F430 spider who was in front of me saw 300+.

Anyway, my second trip @ 250+/- got one of my rear tyre to delaminate & I had to limp @ 80 to a tyre shop with the spacesaver.

Two other bad things, fuel went down faster & don't follow too close to the front car, lots of stone chips.

Thats not in MPH, The gauge is KM/H

 

Hume Highway Melbourne Boxer 512 took foot of the throttle at 110kph,we are talking Victoria Australia,we don't grandma the throttle down under.

 

barrel of laugh's down here,when i want to here the induction,exhaust noice I just ride the clutch and plant the size 9 on the pedal.drive it like you stole it not down here you don't.

 

Size 9? You know what they say about small feet hey rob? When I drive the 348, I sink the big size 14 boot into her guts.............till I reach the speed limit then I back off like a skirt.

 

please this is a public forrum.size 14 through the firewall.

 

hey Pap I've got Phil wound up over racing the boxer and my OHOS,probaley parked at calder as we talk ready to practice,me I'm just harry casual role up coffee,yawn and race.

 

I saw mate. Sounds like fun. Phil will probably start setting up his Boxer as soon as its off the boat! You guys are lucky to have so many tracks in your backyard to play with your Ferrar's.

 

errr.. no he didn't and no I won't!!... and yes we are!

 

mate i've got all the moves,good spanner,got the right pads,fluid,and me real trick external adjust koni's.plus ive been racing for ever with big engine cars,as much as i like the boxer it would be awful on the track,sure fast but your always thinking about when its going to let the rear end go, no thanks and when it goes your in for the ride,hard car to set up for track work.Better suited for long fast highways like they have in germany or our A grade hwys in that type drive the boxer would eat me .

 

Only kidding Phil baby....relax!

 

I really enjoy mine on track... it's the challenge that makes it rewarding, and the comments from others about seeing it out there.

Any old goose can steer a modern Ferrari around competitively. My BB's just got better tyres, tweeked shocks and pads etc. Springs/bars etc all still std.

Sounds good rob. I got to move to Melb. Errm......you havent got a spare bedroom at your house and a daughter too, do you rob? I need someone to take me in!

 

yep live by myself two spare bedrooms and my big bouble bed,no kids just two spaniel dogs,now plenty babs real good mums around here better then orange county mlf's.

 

Excellent. All we need now is to get me a job paying $100K and im there!
I think male prostitution is the way to go in the big smoke!

 

yea would be great to see and above all here a carb boxer out there,so true about the goose thing,lets just hope there all tucked up in bed.

 

i can hook you up as a fun loving herion addicted toy boy.
