Posted October 20, 200519 yr My new claim to fame! Raced what I think was a 355 or a 360 ferrari convertable. Its a young guy that stays out near where I live. This was superb! Hes only 22 and drives this 2 year old car and has a evo7 aswell! Hes always out posing and showing off in it ( Which makes it even better). Last friday I was on my way home from work with the girlfriend when he came flying up the outside and cut in infront of me at a roundabout and kiked the ass out trying to rile me up! I know where he stays ( out a backroad near where I live) and can go home past his front door so Hes giving it big revs etc all the way through the town and I just followed him calmly knowing the chance to smoke him was goring ever closer! when we hit the back road there is a big straight bit where there was two cars and a lorry in front! there was traffic coming so we waited and I actually thought he wouldnt go for it cause it was approaching a corner then suddenly out he went and flew past the traffic. I wasnt going to follow cause the g/f was about wetting the seat but then after a few seconds I decided stuff it and came out and passed the traffic! bye this time he was about 10 cars infront or more but after about three corners I was on his ass! The zed was actually faster on a straight and through the corners! I was all over him (the only thing I could hear was the rip from his engine ) We ende up on a bumpy road and i slowed slightly so I wasnt right on his arse we both jumped a hump in the road and when he landed sparks went right over the roof of my car! He jumped on to the brakes and slowed to 30 at which point I done the same and gave him a flash and a peep. He clearly want impressed however and ignored this not even a flash of the indicators which actually made it even better for me! My zed is running 291 at the wheels and has ap racing brakes and tein suspension etc but could have wiped the floor with it! I paid £7,300 for my zed and he pays £2000 per month to lease the ferrari! tell me a better car for the money! zeds rule! :bow:
October 20, 200519 yr If it was a 360 he was not pushing it at all. And to be honest if it was a 355 I doubt if he was giving it all guns you would have kept up. Nice story though!

October 20, 200519 yr im not too up on the models but he was going for it alright cause his exaust drowned out my car and mines loud! il need to find out the model ..... not bothered really though I still beat a car that cost £2000 per month! Ha Ha. I will no doubt be doing the same again cause I see him all the time. I reckon Il take him on a straight road though! ive had my car just shy of 180mph! It aint going to do much more than that!
October 20, 200519 yr he was going for it alright cause his exaust drowned out my car and mines loud! Probably had a Tubie Exhaust then, thought you said you were behind him all the time? funny way to beat another car?
October 20, 200519 yr Its kind of hard to pass on a backroad! he was infront though by a good bit and I caught him! So that to me counts as a faster tiime!
October 20, 200519 yr Its kind of hard to pass on a backroad! he was infront though by a good bit and I caught him! So that to me counts as a faster tiime! I'll give you a head start. Change the story to a standard 348 convertable. Your Z wouild then be on about par in a race. As long as you stay away from the twistys ;)
October 20, 200519 yr Had a quick look at stats : 2001 Ferrari 360 Spider 0-60 : 4.6 1/4 mile : 13.2 1996 Ferrari F355 Spider 0-60 : 4.9 1/4 mile : 13.4 So probably matching performance , but not quicker. Its more than likely that he just did'nt want to push the car too much. (and they do tend to sound like they are on full chatter when their not)
October 20, 200519 yr my mate had a 360 spider, and he will gladly come here and admit to being blown by my zed..
October 20, 200519 yr my mate had a 360 spider, and he will gladly come here and admit to being blown by my zed.. Oh im sure there are Zeds out there that will beat a 360. But NOT ones only running 291bhp at the wheels. ;) :x:
October 20, 200519 yr well I beat one! your making it sound like im on hear talking crap! im cuffed to bits :hyper: I think you have the 360 or 355 whatever it was rated slightly high! Or you have underrated the zed! 291 at the wheels is like 50-60bhp than a standard tt and there fast! Maybe he was a bit nevous driving it so hard but im well pleased I caught him! like i said the guys a smug git and when he passed me in mcds car park on sunday he wouldnt even look at me! Jap power!
October 20, 200519 yr Lo piedpiper, what zed is it you own in Airdrie, i've seen another 2 driving about but have no idea who owns them?
October 20, 200519 yr I have the red one! My bro was going to fix your for you darren! Ive seen you mate stay next to aitchey! IYou know who i smoked! The blue one! from just outside glenmavis! Hows it going?
October 20, 200519 yr Ahhhh I know the one you mean mate. Yeah your bro was gonna fix it but he had a few probs and couldn't make it. Just got the discs and pads fitted last night actually, just have to run the ****ers in now. Is yours a UK or Jap car mate? Looks like a 4 seater as well but never seen it close enough to know for sure. Think am going into the town for a cruise as well the mora night, make a change fae getting pissed!
October 20, 200519 yr had a ferrari fe340 on hire in germany and im sorry but there aint no way a zed would keep with it 206mph on the autobahn was mind blowing
October 20, 200519 yr With powerful cars it's more down to driver skill once you get over a certain horsepower. (Or who has the most knackered bushes, bearings and shocks!)
October 20, 200519 yr Leave the poor fooker alone if he says he fookin beat it then he beat it. FFS. lol. whats going on here. Dont let this turn into another indianzx mess? I got ripped to pieces there. Aint going down that road again. Fair play mate.
October 20, 200519 yr well as soom of you know i sold me mental marble zed to fund my new motor 355 and when i took it for a test drive it kills the zed for power :bow: at the end of the day its all down to the driver and bottle :rofl:
