My M6 Z28 vs Ferrari 360 Modena

Last night I was coming home from my cousin's birthday party at 9:30pm when I jumped onto the 10 freeway heading West (San Bernardino freeway). I came across a gorgeous silver Ferrari 360 Modena. The vehicle still had the dealer plates. I left my Elec. Cutout closed because i didn't want to alarm/scare him away. I cruised on by his driver's side at approx. 72 mph hoping he would notice my plates "TRYYYME" and want to mess around. He didn't take the bait at first. I had to ride alongside his driver-side for about a mile before he realized I wanted to "play".

Anhow, I was in 3rd gear going approx. 75 mph waiting for him to get the first jump.....he did. As soon as heard/saw him take off, I floored it, hit the 6,800 rev limiter and shifted into 4th reeling him nicely then eventually passing him. As soon he saw me starting to pull away from him, he shut it down. What an @ss I thought. I wanted to put at least a car or so on him before we shut it down. The sweetest part of this entire night is that I had my brother in the passenger seat filming the entire thing.

Could someone please tell me how to post up a vid? The vid. camera I used to record the race was a regular camcorder, not digital. I'm dying to show you guys.

That poor sap must be pissed. An extra $120,000 and he still loses! Priceless!

Nice kill!

yes, please instruct me how to post my vid. It's a regular camcorder, so I'm not sure how to go about doing this. Please please please.

I think you can bring it to best buy/circuit city/radio shack....blah blah....and I think they can change it to digital for a little fee.

Get a video card that has a video in (rca type) jack so you can hook the camcorder up to the computer and record away. I think you'll need some software too, don't know what kind though.

try looking here for something to convert:

http://www.compgeeks.com/products.asp?cat=CON


i think what you want is this one:

http://www.compgeeks.com/details.asp...PI-550&cat=CON

$155 ....this is a decent one....it does bothways (analog to digital or other way around) i've seen some other cheaper boxes that goes for around $50 that only do analog to digital (which is all you need).

check some more on compgeeks or go to Best Buys, i've seen them there.

remember that going with a box that plugs into USB is much less hassle then an internal card.....sometimes they conflict and crap.

Good kill; any luck on the video?

I don't get the "he must be pissed" comments. Yeah, the guy in the Ferarri lost, but he still went home in his Modena. I'd wager that if he wanted the car to be faster, he's got the money to make it faster.

Possibly, but I don't think that Jegs has any Modena parts... I'm not sure what kind of aftermarket there is for Ferraris.

Tubi-exhaust, but damn I would hate to see what that costs, you see them listed all the time in the back of the Dupont Registry, so that kinda gives you an idea!

If you were driving a Ferrari and some guy in an F-Body came up next to you and beat you... Would you be mad? I sure as hell wouldn't because i'd still be driving the Ferrari.

Well I dunno, but I think their is a certain mind set that comes with driving a Ferrari, you paid so much for this fine Italian sports car that everybody wants to have so you think its the fastest thing in the world. I posted my kill of a Ferrari from last night, the bastard wanted to run me for $50, we did, I won and he turned around and ditched me not forking over the $50 he owed me, now don't tell me he couldn't afford it. He was probably mad, upset, and embarassed that a lowly 15K dollar domestic walked his snoooty ***
