    Maybe one of the most fun things to do with a ferrari is to accelerate through a tunnel. Heres my version of how to do it:

    1. Roof/top/windows down (no matter what the weather is)
    2. Slow down to the high revs of first gear (Yeah, you are going to be blocking everyone elses way)
    3. At the tunnel - floor it (you know, the pedal to the right)
    4. Afterwards, feel the excitment and adrenaline (and sing the son "what a feeling")

    And an educational video I made about the subject ;) (our tunnels in Finland are very short) http://media.putfile.com/ferrari-360-tunnel The cars is a F1 with stock exhaust.

    The vid is from last summer, it keeps my hopes up that the snow will eventually melt this spring also here in Finland....

    If anyone else have ferrari tunnel videos, please post them here.

    I wish we had more tunnels in copenhagen, but parking garages work as well you just can't go as fast ;)

    Ever since they came out. CS's and 575's too. Key fob click otherwise engine won't turn over. Suicidal guy in AZ found out the hard way when he tried to do a kamakazie with one.

    All clips sound great. Makes me want to go out for a spirited drive, thought no tunnels here in central FL. Have to settle for going under highway overpasses.

    Wow, some very nice vids here !

    ELIM - niiiice, or actually not so nice, your videos got me daydreaming and wasting a couple otherwise completely efficent working hours.

    ROLOcr - not shure to whome you ment the question, but the car in the video had cats and stock exhaust. (the car is not mine or my dads but was my work tool for that time, so actually in that video you see me at work)

    And btw, here is a story I wrote last spring about another tunnel experience with the same car, and at that point it was lacking the cats, a much nicer sound ! http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/showpost.php?p=134887086&postcount=57

    Does anyone have any videos of Classic/Vintage Ferraris howling in a tunnel ?

    I"ve posted this link before, but not in this thread! Here's what a vintage 4 cam V12 Ferrari sounds like in a tunnel. I was on a test drive in Ft. Lauderdale.
