Prancing Horse vs Untamed Panda

Yes...

I tooled around with a brand new fresh from the dealership "still had dealerplates" Ferrari 360 Modena F1
http://www.elite-zuzwil.ch/docs/ferrari/360_grau_g.jpg

So, it was a dark and stormy night. And the wind blew with such fierce force.... wait.


Wrong story.



I went on down to www.Vildinimotorsport.com (http://www.vildinimotorsport.com) to have my exhaust leak fixed along with some minor other things. Turns out that for the last month, I'd been driving around with only one bolt holding the downpipe on... out of three. No wonder she felt down on power and was noisey.

All problems fixed, car runs like a champ now. Forgot how quiet it actually is, for a old car with no insulation, when all the leaks and rattles are gone. Was a quite pleasant drive home.

I know the freeways at about 4-5pm would be packed, and my leg wasn't looking forward to an hour or more of stop-go traffic. So took a detour to the coast. Cruising down Newport, one of the richer parts of Southern California. I spot a red Mustang GT in traffic about 7 cars up ahead.

I figured I could go play with him if I could jokey into position, well, a SUV that was behind the Mustang changed lanes and revealed her.

A Silver Ferrari 360 Modena F1, and like I said, still had the "Newport Autosport" Exotic car dealerplate.

"Ok, Screw the Pony. I want the whole Horse."

I was going to hop in the right lane to get next to the 360, but he moved over to the left lane. I decided to stay in the middle lane where I was. And the traffic Gods were nice and we ended up next to each other.

I'm looking over the car, such sexyness should be illegal on the road ways. I check out the driver, some young guy... wearing a sun visor like a Rice-Boy and his hair all dyed at the tips with lots-o-moose. And he's on the phone.

Stupid Rich people. :lol:


Anywho, I had to mess with him. And he was going to take it. I think it's in the contract you sign when you buy a Ferrari. That you will be messed with just for the fact that it is a Ferrari.

Well, I give him a nice 3,000rpm rev... the "conversation" went like this...

360 Driver: :sly:
Me: :biggrin:
360 Driver: *looks away*
Untamed Panda: 4,500rpm Rev, hint of Blow off.
360 Driver: :rolleyes:
Me: :biggrin:
360 Driver: *looks away*
Untamed Panda: 6,800rpm rev, lots of blow off.
360 Driver: :mad:
Me: :grinyes:

Light goes green, Traffic ahead of us starts to move. He takse off slow and I'm listening for it, I heard the song of the V8 start to come to life. I mashed 1st gear... bad Idea. All 12psi of boost came on instantly and rocketed me past the Ferrari and almost into the back of a Ford Excursion. :lol:

We slow back down cause traffic through this section is hideous. And the 360 pulls back up next to me.

360 Driver: :eek7:
Me: :biggrin:

Traffic moves again, but no space to hit it again. About 3 minutes later and maybe a block or two away. We're moving along at about 25-30mph. Still next to the Ferrari I'm in 2nd gear riding along. Traffic clears up for a moment and he takes his chance at redemption.

Unfortunately, I anticipated his move and gunned 2nd gear. I was only able to get on it for about 2 seconds but it was enough to keep me ahead of the Italian beauty.

Now I have to get off this street, the coast route was coming up and I had to exit. Damn, no more fun with the 360.

I know he'd get me in a full out race, this is most obvious. I might of gotten him in the short game, just cause he's fairly new to the car (I assume by dealer plates). But his Top end would of straight walked me like a dead dog.

Ah well, wasn't a real race. Messing in traffic don't count. But it was fun none-the-less.

I messed with a Porsche Carrera convertible on the freeway the other day, before I had all my parts fixed. Nothing exciting... he looked like a rich kid who had the car bought for him. Unfortunately, it being a convertible when you're behind him you can see his thinning hair and that he's going bald. :lol: Poor guy.

Truly awesome! Excellent kill Sir Red!

heh all hail the sleeper.

you know what you should've said red?

REDNECK: ( looks over ) " hey nice car,... whats the retail on one of those?"

F360: " more then you afford pail....ferrari" ( rev's engine )

Vin Diesel riding shotgun in Red's car: "smoke him"

:lol:... I say that all the time... But I was caught in the heat of the moment.

i can image you saying that to a geo metro

red: nice car... whats the retail on one of those?

geo: more then you can afford pail.... GEO METRO

red: :eek7:

Funny thing is, TerminalVelocity does have a Geo Prism that he and his girl drive around. Well, it's mostly hers. But I think I've said it to him once or twice before...

We're dumb like that. :D

oh man, i know how you feel wanting to race the guy all out. like when i seen that lambo. sound like fun stuff

Bravo! Bravo! Damn, had to atleast leave to bookmarks on this page to finish the story, but it was well worth my time. I can only imagine how fun that would be to keep up with a Ferrari. Life's untamed Stallions. Well, as for me, the nicest and fastest car I would have to have seen is the legendary Porsche Carrera GT here in Utah County. It's bright yellow. I first thought it was a Ferrari or something, but once I got behind it I saw the Carrera GT logo. May sound like BS, but I'm sure someone like Neutrino or Polygon can vouche for me. I'll have to get picks of it sometime. I usually see it in my town quite a bit. I think the guy might even live here in town. Still, I would love to "TRY" and race him someday. late...

Please don't "TRY" in your Civic. ;)

It was only a joke. Good hell, give me some credit. :biggrin: That's like me trying to race a GT Mustang with a stock Geo Metro...heh. Late...

damm you red and your pesky datsun 2.. just keeps amazing us all with the power of the silent panda of doom, wats next a ae86 drifing down the cost line, lol, cant wait to hear of more kills,

please come down to my area, in Hanover. Buncha rich pricks. Kid in my class owns a Ferrari F355, and a Porsche Carrera S. He thinks their the shit, I'd love to see his face when he gets smoked by an old 240Z :lol:

i remember one time i was merging from one highway to another and i see a 550 marenello and i was like cool lets see if he would play. he was just casually accelerating and i was making like 9psi in 3rd goni 3/4 throttle and he was just walkin away from me like i'm cruising. and the thing is, his car was really just cruising!! i didn't hear no engine roar or anything!

Only seen three Ferraris in my area, 360 Modena, my neghbor's son's F355 and an older one, think it was like a 250, the one from Ferris Bueler...The Ferrari 250 GT California. Only a hundred were made. It is his life, it is his passion. It is his fault he didn't lock the garrage door...

hows that thing handle red



Right now, with just Tokico lowering springs it's real floaty.

Kinda like a Buick Park Avenue... but you still feel the bumps so it's a shitty ride.

But since it's kinda floaty, when you get on it hard from a dig. It throws all it's weight back and the nose comes way up. The ass just squats down and grabs the pavement.

So, right now she's good for straight lines. Soon, full suspension will be bought and that'll be changed. Then I might look into Solo2 racing.

damm the only time that i ran into a ferrari on the hi-way was when i was taking one of my x's out to dinner and we were in her car a ford tauras,(at the time i had no gas and i didnt feel like fill up) and we happen to get next to a 360 modena.. 0oo man was i pissed that we wernt in the probe.. aww memories..

WOW you completed on of my life's dream dude i must say the Z is great congrats red! :pimp: <---- you. ferrari boy ----> :owned:

Nice, I wish I could have seen that poor man's face...getting owned so soon after spending 6 digits.

does anyone else get that 'damn i want a 240z' feeling everytime you read rednecks posts?

I know I do... then I go outside and look at it...


Sorry, that wasn't nice. Merry Christmas!

Merry fuckin' Christmas, ya arseholes...

Oh Matty, good race, and I'm at work right now, so screw you all! :mad:

At work on Christmas? Jesus, do you work in a sweat shop??

Damn Redneck, I guess you've shown us all the merits of the 240. What did you get the panda for Christmas?

:gives:

...haha j/k, I just had to use that icon once in my life.
Merry Christmas to all my christian friends, happy belated hanukkah to all my jewish friends, happy early kwanzaa to all my african-american friends, and happy just-another-damned-day day to all my athiest friends...there I think I covered everyone. :grinno:

At work on Christmas? Jesus, do you work in a sweat shop??

I work as an online tech for a software/webhosting/domains company that ensures 24/7/365 support, especially considering we have tons of international clients.

1.5 more hours. :mad:

Good run. I messed with a BMW 325 (Older model) awhile ago, but he definitely wasn't worth posting about. I also blew away a Acura TL, until he passed me putting his hazards on. Hopefully i'll make it to your next meet, so that we can run against each other. I've almost solved my traction issues with LCA's and a panhard rod.

I forgot to mention, I hate ricer fly bys and the next punk that does it to me might get rammed by my car :p

that wasn't nice redneck. :( but uh..how close do you think $5000 could get to me to something similar to what you've got?

Only seen three Ferraris in my area, 360 Modena, my neghbor's son's F355 and an older one, think it was like a 250, the one from Ferris Bueler...The Ferrari 250 GT California....

It was a 250 GT? I coulda SWORN it was a 330 P4...does anyone in this forum have an equally high knowledge of vintage ferraris and 80's blockbusters that could help us out?

What did you get the panda for Christmas?

HKS stg1 Cams
Kei Office driving gloves for myself, green just like Keiichi Tsuchiya's own gloves. :loser:


And my mom got me a custom fit car cover for my Z.

And I raked in $200 cash, that'll go towards something. Most likely suspension. I need it so bad.. I'm tired of the wallowing around wondering when and where the car will break lose and spin. :lol:

I need to get my car a car wash for christmas...effing timed sprinklers.

Oh yeah, I can't forget that TerminalVelocity got me this InitialD t-shirt.

:lol:

Go Panda.

Ooh what do those look like? I was working on getting some driving gloves, I hate it when I get into my 911 turbo and the steering wheel is cold.... :p








Theoretically, notithstanding, ergo, perhaps if i was in ownership of said 911 turbo.

Well, in the movie they call it the 250 GT California. Not a huge enthusiast of older Ferraris, jsut the new ones...Same with Lambos and Porsches

Yes...

Pretty damn comfy, $95... expensive. Yes. But worth it, keeps my hands warm, and I have better grip on my steering wheel and shift knob.

They actually give you a bit more confidence cause you feel in more control of the car.

I hate ice cold shifters. :(

you think thats ice cold? wear redneck lives, hes only 60 degrees.

where i live the wind chill gets as low as -5 and true temp will be as low as 2.

can you imagine touching a metal shifter thats 30 degrees colder then ice?

All you wussies should get an automatic, so you don't have to touch a cold shifter :D....j/k

I don't think going all the way to the other side of the country is something he's going to have in mind.

sometime last week it was only 10 degrees here. that's freezing fucking cold.

Now you need the matching driving outfit, or they might look a little out of place. Jeans, white t-shirt, green driving gloves? Wahh?

lol

its weird japanese humor. but i think its hilarous. some of the poses you see them do is soo funny.

i wounder how the "jdm" pose orginated? they have to have some wierd and strange story behind it,

but yes they are wierd. but cool

JDM humor is pretty homosexual...

Grow up.

no?

even though i would identify with your type of person more than the rich kid in the ferarri, i can't say i'm all that impressed. Anybody can taunt a caged tiger.

Anybody can taunt a caged tiger.

Yes. The question is though, Can you fight an uncaged tiger?

Random poster here! Glad to see the Z is defeating Ferraris. Keep up the good work.

I'm sorry you're not impressed, but not much you can do in heavy traffic.


I'll try next time to ask everybody else on the road to pull over so I can play.

^^lol^^ smooth as eXlax'n'prunes with some epson salt on the side.

Well Reguardless of wether or not he had a chance to take the ferrari to 150+ mph or not. He had the car with that driver acceleration wise and thats all that matters when your not stupid enough to top out a ferrari on public roadways....
