Played with Ferrari
Was coming home from the Y after a grueling workout (cruising about 60mph) looked in rear view mirror and saw this sexy black coupe come roaring out of no-where.
He had to be doing 90+....passed me by and got caught in a pack.
Stomped on it and tailed him for a minute, noticed it was a new Ferrari, he waved and took off like a UFO...talk about raw power........
Made me wish I was young and had my 70 'Cuda TA.....sigh.....

Which was it?
I am not sure which model it was, I do not see them very frequently...it had 4 square tail lites, and a long tear drop shaped rear glass piece.
Did not see clearly see the front, for obvious horsepower reasons...
Why tail him??? Just for the *uck of it........actually I was hoping for a Highway Patrolman to chase him!!!!!!!!
I probably would have gotten the ticket, as it would have been an easier "Kill"

I know what you mean. Whenver I see one on the road (usually 360 modenas), I turn off the radio and roll down my window to listen to the beast.
Even at idle, it's one of the best sounds in the world to me.

the f430 will walk it. top gear did a short test on it comparing a m5 to a supercar ferrari. i left it in the dust..literally, it wasnt even close. so on the highway, the f430 may not RAPE it but rather just walk the m5, nonethelesss, the f430 will beat the m5 in any race type situation.
...think the m5 is a 4 door saloon, it may have a 500 hp engine but at the end of the day it still weighs some 4000(?) pounds

A friend of mine went to a party with an alumnus from my college. The alum got totally hammered and couldn't drive home so my friend got to drive his 550+ hp Ruf tuned 996 turbo to take the alum home. Apparently, he had a good time.

I'm not even going to point out how this should be in car talk.
I will say, as far as nice cars go, I've seen a bonanza in the last few weeks here in Tulsa:
Ferrari F430, Ferrari F360, Corvette C6 Lingenfelter, Bentley Continental GT, Bentley Continental Silver Spur, Lamborghini Gallardo, and more Maseratis than I can shake a stick at.

If you have driven a Ferrari you'll know it can't be beat by M5. If you looked at the Ferrari V12's their torq are over 400lbs at 5k rpm. I have test drove the M5 and it just doesn't feel as fast as the Ferrari of course some people might feel differently but that's just my opinion.

My buddy with the 05 Turbo headed up to look at the new 07 Turbo. Haven't talked to him yet.
