Default s2k turbo vs 360 modena

Sat after leaving local s2k garage shop here in NJ.
I was just talking to a local turbo owner on never running into cars now that I am turbo and how I can't find a douche owner to try the car out.even went down to StreetWars last week and over 70+ supra and nothing.
not that I was looking for a dog fight but cmon....

back to Sat
well a hr later. cruising in the fast lane a red temp tag Ferrari comes into rt 80's on ramp. he had to be 100ft ahead of me.
I hit channel B on tru boost.
he looks back,out his window at me and its go time
he takes off !, (like wtf son no rollon ?)
I give chase and wake up a sleeping dragon.Wastegate screaming ! Reel him in what seemed to be mere seconds....
he was Definitely not expecting that well I paced him at 40,50,60mph nothing. since I rather do a roll on then some Gran Turismo on the streets.
by this time my car is hungry for blood and my adrenaline is pumping but I guess play time was over.the more I slowed down the more he stayed back.I would of rather done a pull and call it quits. the driver seemed cool but wasn't into it anymore.

I later googled the power of a Modena and was very Disappointed.

hope you enjoyed my silly thread.

What kind of power are u putting down? Hard to say an outcome when no race occured lol. he could have gone WOT for 5 seconds or he caould have been partial throttle, you cant really know unless you both know whats going on. I have been on the highway pleanty of times where ppl think i was racing them because I speed up in 6th gear and my vtec kicks in making my exhaust sound a whole lot louder. They pass me by thinking im racing, then I line up with them and drop it down to 3rd and its a whole other story lol. Hope you get to line up with one soon to see the real out come. Good encounter still, its rare to encounter super cars.

F360 isn't that impressive in terms of its power but I'd sure kill for the sound.

I saw the CTS-V post you made killer. I get a little worried when I see them on the road.
but there usually driven by very old guys around here so never ran into one.
still I don't make that much power this year to take one on.
next year will be fun.
