I was lucky enough to enjoy (being the operative word) a high speed passenger ride in a Ferari Modena at the weekend only 7000 miles on the clock......boy was this thing quick if not a little twitchy!
Don't get me wrong but I have been in 911 turbos before (older models) and they did not frighten me the way this thing did. Maybe that was because I was passenger and not in control.
Has anyone been in a car that frightened them to death?

Went out in a Jade Track Star last year at Brands i know it's an out&out track car but it was just sooooooooooooooooooooooooo fast,330bhp and weighs 500kg we lapped in around 46 second mark 2 up,when it's in race trim it's as fast as a F3 car,as i remember the 0 to 60 was around 2 seconds and 100mph in 5

A stock V6 Mondeo. No kidding.
There was an equaliser mind, a certain large, bespectacled, left foot braking RAC rally winnging Finn behind the wheel on a marbly airfield, and on 4 odd wheels and tyres (even different sized wheels). A club rally lad driving a WRC car would have been blown away.
Amazing was too small a word.

Mate lots of things would kick a 360's **** & a fw yr old 355 at half the price is just as quick & IMHO a lot better looking, but outright speed is hardly the point of the car.
To go a lot faster on the road an x50 pack 996Turb would murder it as would any hot Ultima or skyline etc, a standard 993 turbo would be close & a modded one would eat it, any sports bike of 600cc & up would wave bye bye very easily Oh and if you can drive a 360 hard in the wet on a twsty road you have my complete and utter respect as i think they are twitcy little sods and I'm not the greatest fan of 'em.
On track hot Caterhams & Radicals etc would lap so much quicker that I would expect the 360 to be lapped probabaly once in a average 20 min sesssion!

A Westfield was pretty scary but my first ever car - Citroen Visa 1.1RE. It had terrible suspension to the point that you werent sure if you were going to roll over round a corner. Thank god the seats were beige.

OK. But most (I said most) of the above are track cars not road cars.
Never been in a GT3 but who knows??????
By the way, the Ferrari interior was gorgeous!
