Default S2000 vs. F355

i was heading home this aft to pick up the wife and baby for the baby's 2-month paeds appt....

and, as usual, i'm having a hard time getting out of the office, so i'm running late.

anyways, i'm going gang-busters (180-200) trying to get home and see this yellow speck in my rearview getting closer, and closer, and closer - i'm like "what could POSSIBLY be gaining on me THIS fast at THIS speed".....so, i move over one lane and - BAMN - this gorgeousssss fly yellow F355 goes by me like i'm standing still.

he/she/it slows down a bit and we pace at 180 for about 10-15 seconds - i know what's coming, so i downshift - i'm ready....we both punch it.....

guys/gals, let me tell you....it was over before it started LOL. this thing put so much distance on me in a matter of seconds, that it was embarrasing (so to speak)

you guys think OUR engine sounds sweet on full song?

man, i couldn't even HEAR my engine over the wail of the ferrari's......

anyways, you win some, you lose some....and i have NOOO problem losing to a car like that!

man, i SOOOO want a ferrari.......

regards.

I know what you mean so I had to check where TKG 26 is from. Canada. So it's KPH
That's what I was thinking. Cool. Not to whore his thread but I encountered a BRAND new 02 viper yesterday. The first one I've ever got to run me. Just got my Cobra about a week ago. We left the light pretty even,probably because he bogged a little,afetr that.........I don't wanna talk about it.

Just curious, if you were in your S on your way to pick up the wife and baby, how did you manage to fit the baby seat and your wife?
