So just how fast is a Ferrari F360 ?
 
I'm normally a very conservative road driver and never go looking for trouble, however for a second or two today I saw red - in the shape of a red F360.

I was on my home driving in traffic and happened to land up behind a F360 - no big deal, plenty of time to admire all the detail of the body work etc - and how 'skinny' the rear tires seemed.

So we both turn right and suddenly the left hand lane opens up - I normally enter that lane in readiness for making a left turn at the next lights.

However the F360 saw me and presumably thought I wanted to 'play'. At which point he cuts in front of me to pass a slower car in the right hand lane and guns it - must say the Ferrari engine sounded sweet.

So at this point he had the jump on me and started to pull away - not to be out done I was at WoT in an instant and caught him up in a flash to the point where I had to back off lest I get a little too close.

Had I not been making a left turn and if the traffic conditions had be safer I'm convinced the F360 would have been toast.

The only question is how badly would the F360 have gotten burned ?

The 360s are slow.

You would have smoked him.

Modified title - how slow are F360's ? :-)
 
Per Markski - maybe I should have titled the thread 'How slow are F360's' !

Having used the search engine - seems the topic has been discussed before.

I wonder how many F360 owners think they've got a fast car and take anything with 4 wheels down - including a TT ?

heck, i know they're slow but i still may have gunned it just to hear the engine

I raced a 360 on my mountain bike once and he got me by 3 bike lengths. It was faster than I thought.

even a stock turbo will put atleast a car and a half in the quarter mile with a so-so launch...from a roll...well...haha...its even worse for the rarri!

Yep, 360 is slow compared to Porsche turbozzzzzzz... those babies sure do move! I'd still take the Ferrari over the Porsche for non-track duty.
