Project Ferrari 360 Begins at Vivid Racing
 
Every project car we do at Vivid Racing has a path and goal. We strategically pick what we are going to buy and work to build it to something that drops jaws. When we built our 240sx Drift Car, we had a plan. When we bought the EVO X, we had a plan. When we made the jump from the 996 Turbo to the 997 Turbo, we had a plan. Now we have got a 2001 Ferrari 360 Modena, and we have a plan!

During its production from 1999 - 2005, the Ferrari 360 really changed what a supercar was to be from the previous Ferrari 355. The V8 engine did 0-60 in 4.4 seconds. Revving to 8500rpm, the 360 pumped out about 405 horsepower. Our project car is the F1 electrohydraulic manual transmission. Its "flappy paddles" have 6 gears and an included auto shifting as well as sport button. The current top speed is 183mph in a long long straight away, but we hope to change that to what it can do in a mile, the Texas Mile!

Since we bought this car used with only 12000 miles on it, there will be some changes being made. One thing we will be keeping is the amazing carbon fiber sport seats. Our initial thoughts are color change, wheel change, suspension, make some carbon fiber parts, aero kit, intake, new exhaust, headers, etc. We want to flip the Ferrari community upside down as we did with the Porsche. Bringing in new looks, new parts, and new style. Creating amazing parts through Agency Power as well, we will also be working with companies such as Capristo, StopTech, Work Wheels, and more.

Our major power upgrade to the car will be top secret for now, but in Vivid fashion, it will be insane! Stay tuned to our Ferrari Project Car section here for all updates.

Beautiful 360!!

Really looking forward to see the progress of the project car. There are a lot of us out there. We really need more aftermarket support.

Do you have high flow cats on the 360? It is probably the best single NA mod for the car. Really free up good amount of power (20~25rwhp) and makes the car so much more fun to drive.

Curtis,
How have you been bro? This is Jason, I used to have a white supercharged NSX-R conversion. Do you still talk to Danny? I have been trying to get a hold of him.

Thanks guys....i'm loving the car so far. Right now I've just got a few small changes planned more will come very soon though.

Yeah catless race pipes and high flow cats will be in production shortly.
