I especially like the '85 288 GTO. It looks similar to the 308 and 328.
Isn't a turbocharged V8 ferrari a beautiful thing??

I went up against a silver 360 modena in my other car and blew it away. Of course we were in bumper to bumper traffic on the 405 and my lane was moving faster than his lane.

I had a 360 pass me on the highway the other day like I was sitting still
I wanted to catch up but something about getting arrested to look at somebodys car didn't seem like such a good idea
I was doing about 75 and he was out of sight REAL quick on a very flat road

NOBODY beats a Ferrari. S2000 is way out of the league. It can barely compete with a Corvette. How sad........

On a good note, Honda kicks ass when it comes to their 4cyl 240hp engine.

I'll race any ferrari. I think it would have a tough time leaving me without a 360 or F series car. I'd hurt a 355 and have...all in my stupid banana car

Cool at least you got to say you smoked a ferrari!! I've raced a corvette Z06 recently on the 5 fwy, these cars can haul ass, too bad he couldn't spank meeh though. We were heading north and I spotted a corvette to play with, i thought to myself it was just another corvette wanting for some whoop ass from an import, but to my surprise it had the vents and the distinctive wheels of what motertrend and road and track call an outstanding streetcar. Which i don't doubt but when i pulled up to him and purged my blowoff valve, two of the guys that were in the car started smiling and laughing (they didn't know what was coming to them). Suddenly the Z06 downshifted and it took off by at least 3 cars. I wasted no time and took it from 6th gear down to THIRD!! (don't ever try this with a turbo s2000-stupid meeh) caught redline with a pop, upshifted and 10 pounds of boost screeched the tachometer in blinking vision up to nine again popped and with not even trying easily passed the Z06(loser) and left him till he was a micromachine in my rear view mirror!!
I'm wonder if they hear the BOV cuz if they did and laughed, they're pretty damn stupid. Cuz who knows how much a turbo can be pushing in a car. I'm guessin turbo cuz I haven't heard much about a BOV/BPV in a Super since the belt just keeps on runnin.

What a joke. You kids do know that racing someone involves a willing act by both drivers? Passing someone in traffic is not a race...But, if it makes you feel like you've "dusted" a Ferrari, do what you have too.

I'm sure about the only real Ferrari dusting by any S2K on this list was either not a race, an unskilled driver in the Ferrari or at your detailing jobs....
