I was going to my g/f's house a couple of nights ago and came up on a red Ferrari 550 Maranello. I've seen it on the road before but didn't get a chance to run it. I drove up and saw an older guy driving it but figured what the hell i'll rev up and see what happens. He went so I dropped it in second and spun through to till i hit 3rd and wound up passing him around 85 mph and by 4th gear I was a car a head of him. He just waved at the next light and went the other way. Just another win in Waco TX to go along with a ton of others against a bunch of F-body rednecks.

The 550's arent that fast in terms or acceleration. They have a high top speed (factory claimed 199 mph) but they are heavy so they take a while to get there. Remember, they are a grand touring car. I think Goodfella raced one? I still love the way they look and sound though.

Its true those cars are top end cars of course you passed him.

but if you were on the highway he would of sucked you up and

spit you out. But I bet it felt good to be passing a ******* 550? lol

No i'm still sequential. Figured I'd just wait to get the T-78 instead of spending money on the non-sequential mod. I got a buddy thats opening his shop today in Austin so I should be getting a lot more mods pretty quick.

It's called Promotion Racing, on I-35 between Breaker Ln and Runberg. I know the had to report to work on the 2nd, not sure if it's offically open to public but you should go check them out, they have bad *** mechanic. He's not really a rotary guy but he builds engines for pro drag that run in the 40k a piece.
