Remember that Ferrari that was playing cat and mouse with me
Here is the original post
Cat and Mouse with black Ferrar....funny
Driving down a 3 lane each direction highway, just cruisin home after a car wash.
This is one of those residential highways that have red lights and such. Anyway I see the headlights coming and know it's something sweet.....it's a Black Ferrar...you guys are the experts, I don't know which type...just loooked incredible. Anyway, he spots me going the other way and we both make eye contact as we pass slowly. I start thinking.....let's have some fun and play. I floor it trying to make it to the next place I could hang a u-turn...
I make the U turn and floor it trying to catch him....then around the corner coming at me.....the headlights again. He flipped around and was tyring to catch me. Now the adrenaline starts pumping...this is gonna be fun. I floor it again and try to hang another U Turn and catch him again....bout 1/2 mile down the road..... I U-turn and try to catch him again.
Can you guess what happened next.....he flipped too and here come the headlights again. This time we both kinda quickly wave and laugh and drive past. That was really funny.
Life is a trip sometimes.

Now the update
Salt Lake is so small...when this happens...it's news. This is the car. THANK GOD HE DIDN'T CATCH ME.....AN F430..gulp. I would have been toast. Well at least he woulda pulled pretty good on me.
(ABC 4 News)-- It's a sight you don't see very often, and probably a situation you never want to be in -- an accident involving a high-end Ferrari sports car.
That's exactly what happened in Draper on Thursday, where a brand new Ferrari F430 crashed along 13800 South and 1200 East. No one was injured in the crash, but the vehicle was so new it still had the dealer sticker in the window. The price: roughly $200,000.
The cause of the crash wasn't immediately known.
*******
The guy's okay....just bad luck I guess. By the way 200,000$, is that true...I thought F430 was a lot more.

F430 - M S R P
$180,000.00. Good luck buying one for that! The entire production of the F430 is already sold out and they are being marked up $50,000.00+ if you want to buy one.

Not an F430
Maybe it's just a coincidence....I guess.
Definitely the model Ferrar that was playing with me. Salt Lake is a small city so good chance it was....not that many running around in this small city ya know.

Market price for F430s are in the 200K+ neighborhood.

U are correct, that is a 360 not a F430. Just look at the side mirrors on both cars and the rear top engine opening.
A stock E55 is faster then the 360 in a straight line, let alone Jakpro's modded beast.
