I would love to know how much coin has been spent on that BMW! wow

I had a few mates around today for a Bathurst day BBQ + Beers. It was good.

Now watching the last bit of the F1's.

Even the friction sufaces of the brake dics are gold plated FFS!

You guys probably won't believe this story, but I'll tell it anyway.
I am feeling pretty damn good about my car after the drive I just had.

Was following this:
http://i649.photobuc...22/983d28ca.jpg

For those who can't tell it's a Ferrari F360.

Was following him closely for a couple of k's and I heard him change down to second as I thought he was going to launch off.
Anyway, I also changed down to second. So he went roaring off, all noise no go, redlining it into third etc. and I was sitting on his arse the whole time, if it was a wide enough road I would have overtaken him!
Also at the next round-a-bout he went back into first, and I chopped him
again, I had him covered by far.

You should of seen the smile on my face and how angry his face was that his supercar got chopped by a 20k Suby.

Was classic.

and I'm not even bullshitting.

Nice story Tom!


Reminds me of when I chased a F40 in my Falcon coupe, except I got chopped.......eventually.

A 360 is no real comparison to an F40 though haha

How many F40's are in Aus? I didn't think we had any.

[Richo]

man, this was infront of me the other week, lets just say that while neither of us were exactly going for it (before this pic).. chops where had.. I was the chopee

At least one!

May have been the same one I saw earlier this year at the Philip Island Historics.

360's are a sub 4 second car, I believe they are even as low as 3.5 0-100. Not doubting your story, but the dude clearly can't drive.

Josh should know, but I thought there was 3 F40's in Australia. Out of the 400 or so produced.

[RX25SE]

the dude clearly can't drive.

Of course.
Must be why he bought one.

You can tell this dude was pushing it.

He had the F1 gearbox too and was auto blipping on the downshifts.

Haha, probably. Maybe the paddles got stuck? Any thoughts as to whether it was a paddle or a six, Tom?

I was within 10 meters of him the whole time, intense tailgating.

If it was any faster he would have took off and tried to pull away.

Just looked it up Nik, it's 4.4 seconds. And a while back I timed my in at 5.2 seconds, using a window mounted camera pointed at the dash (from eBay) and a stopwatch on the computer.

So if you get rid of the launch which would be my cars weak point (rolling start) It would be pretty even.

Your car was running on high levels of Stalk - I am not surprised that your car could chop a ferrari

[skillionaire]

CAR magazine got a 3.5 out of the 360. Just sayin'. Maybe your car is as freakish as you are!

[skillionaire]

Anyway, F-car photos!
