Wonder what I'd get for my trade? Top Gear - Ferrari 458 Italia 15x06 1-5 - SAPO Vídeos
The 458 is a much better car than the 430. (apologies 430 owners)My Moneys on the cobra, the lotus seven i built with a 300hp toyota engine and 6 speed quaif sequential dog box made mince meat of a 430 in a standing start heads up. the red machine only starting making gains once past the 200k mark then we ran out of road.
he was not impressed
cheers John
I'd back the 458 given road tires are to be used.
....Its a fine line between getting prepared and ruining your car haha. As far as the lane issue and who goes first i think we will probably just flip a quarter, one of the times i was running drags i hit second a little too hard and it was like i snapped my fingers and my car was 5 feet over to the right in the other lane. So since our car insurance doesn't cover the drag strip and we will both be running hard i dont think we will be going side by side.
My buddies FFR cobra with a ford 32v 4.6l, 300hp v8 runs a pretty impressive 1/4 mile. It only weighs 2400lbs with him in it. Whats more impressive is the 0-60 times. With just 300hp, and a 4.10 rearend gear, it gets there in under 4 seconds.
If his car had had 400hp or so, i would bet it would blow away the ferrari in the 1/4 mile.
Pete,
I presume you'd want the model that doesn't spontaneoulsy combust :worried:
