Default 01' S2K vs 99' Ferrari 355 Berlinetta

This was a surprise to me!!! I thought i was going to get my ass handed to me but my S2K had other plans other than letting me down.

It was about 1:15am, he pulls up next to me in a beautiful silver Ferrari 355 Berlinetta 99'......he smiles and revs, that car sounds awesome! Well, He instigates and I ignored him but I decide what the hell....why not. I start from 6,000 rpm as i always do and to my amazement I immediately pull 1 car length ahead and stayed that way until the end of third and let off. That 355 sounded gorgeous though.....I am pretty sure if we would have stayed on it he would of smoked me top end for sure. We pull over and he gave me props on the run.

Fiero Ferrari maybe. Even with a blower it would be a very close race.

I used to own a E36 M3. When living in Monterey/Carmel (the home of the biggest ferrari show on the planet) I pulled up next to Testarossa and thought I was going to get killed. We gunned it down the line and we stuck pretty close to each other. Again, I'm sure he would have taken off at top end (maybe). the best part about the race was the sound of his engine. Absolutely incredible. I know the 355 is the same way. If any of you get a chance you should try to come to the Concourse d'elegance in august. It is mind blowing (4 enzos side by side in a hotel parking lot).
