Default Comptech s2000 vs "thing"

Sorry guy's but bear with me this is my first story

So I'm sitting on the left lane at a set of lights while I wait for the green when I hear the sound of a sports bike approach, I was looking around for the sports bike but instead I saw a set of blue HID's spread far apart and set low to the ground, I looked in the rear view mirror but I couldn't figure out what this "thing" was.

As this "thing" was getting closer, I immediately thought to myself, oh crap this can't be good, must be a Vette or Viper or some "thing" Well that "thing" caught me off guard as it suddenly switched over to the right lane while the light was turning green and punches it, startling a sleepy old man in the process.

The exhaust note on this thing sounded beautiful, almost like a 1000cc sports bike climbing through the revs in high gears, as it was passing by I got a glimpse of a yellow badge on the fender, I was like (insert retard voice from the Ringer here) "Hey dat a Furraree"

Yes that "thing" turned out to be a Ferrari 360 Modena Now, I see them all the time in my area but I have never had the privilege to tango with one

So anyways since the guy in the Ferrari never actually stopped at the light and just rolled through the green, he immediately gets a two car jump on me, I roll off aggressively and red line first trying to stay with him, hung with him until the end of second, then he starts walking me on third until we shut down at the beginning of fourth which is well over triple digits, 120ish maybe.

I was surprised that he won by about 4 cars or so, even with the jump, he was probably just as surprised that a little "Honduh" kept up with him.

Guy was cool as hell though, middle aged gentleman, I pulled up to him and gave him a thumbs up and he yells over Whooo, Hooooo!!! and gave me one back. I think he was probably more excited than I was, then again he did win, oh well I'll just have to get him next time around

P.S. I like this view better anyway's

Ferraris have always been my favorite. I think it would be a treat just to run one. Win or lose

Thanks Soul, I could barely keep up with one, and you just destroy them! I can only imagine how fast your S2000 is

It was definitely a treat for me, and it made it even better since the owner was a really cool guy after the run.
