C32 vs. 360 Modena

I finally got my shot at a 360... most of the basterds (basterds because I don't have a 360) will not even push the pedal down against you. (at least in my area)

On a roll, the C32 is faster then it is off the line, which most c32 owners do know that... I am doing about 20-30 mph and I see a 360 get about 10 feet behind my rear and then kick out to the right lane..... we get dead even and both gun it, he had 2 car lengths on me by the time we hit 80mph, he was starting to gain more and more. By the time we reached about 100-115 he had about 5 on me...


Not that bad, I can't say I am dissapointed.

Nice Run!

Sounds like a cool run! I love those Modenas. If I didn't need a back seat, and had a spare 150K. . .

I bet that guy was surprised that a relatively conservative-looking sedan gave him a good run! Do you have any mods on your car?

Wow, I never would've expected the C32 to pull on the Modena at all. Nice quasi-kill!

Hey SP6NT:

Are those the only mods that you have (i.e., no pulley or ECU mods?). If those are your only mods, I think that you might be able to "stomp the Italian horse" if you do the pulley and ECU!

ajayz the c32 didn't pull on the 360.

could run man, its impressive you were able to keep up at least, those suckers are light as hell. Was it the spyder or the reg coupe? if it was the spyder i think the race would have been a bit closer.

it was a 360 coupe.

Vomit - that's all I have just intake and filters. I'm getting my hre's on next week.

I think after I put my hre's on I am going to want coilovers, it might help me off the line because that's where I feel my car is lacking.

I will go stage II very soon... I think I'm going to wind up going renntech because they are local.

If I ever beat a 360, I will always wonder whether my car was really faster, or it was just that the Grecian-Formula greaseball in the 360 was too busy "checking his look" in the mirror to actually drive his car properly. . .
