Know the driver ?

 

As a famous rapper once said

"Wasn't me"!!

The driver comes from a more northern part of the country than I, and more southern than you judging by that accent!

Class somebody should tell him Ferrarris are for motorways and race tracks
Scoobys own the B roads

 

good to watch, bet the Ferrari driver was a bit surprised.

but no more surprised than we would be if a Corsa did the same to us..

Hardly, the guy in the Ferrari was just out for a leisurly drive, didnt look to me like he was trying at all

 

This Video was on SN last week.

I'm sure I read a later post on here that, on a Ferrari Site, the Italian Car Driver was saying how he'd baited the Scoob & was only half trying & let it pass just to have a laugh at him??

Am I imagining it, or was this posted?

Alan, if he did, then he was fibbing about the not trying- you could hear that he was and with no disrespect to the Fezza if the Scooby driver was on WOT then he'd need to be fully commited to keep him at bay.

Check out the figures:

Ferrari 360

bhp per ton 0-60 0-100 60-100 quarter mile
280.2 4.27 9.44 5.17 12.47



Bhp per ton: 263.42
0 - 60 (Secs) : 3.950 - 100 (Secs) : 10.1660 - 100 (Secs) : 6.21Quarter Mile (Secs) : 12.60

The video seems to support this, the Ferrari didn't have enough poke to pull away from the Scooby at the speeds attained, just enough to keep it at bay. No shame in that, Scoobies and Evos are designed to keep exotica honest! At the end of the day, he shouldn't feel insecure, he's the one with the Ferrari!

IMHO it's clear that the Ferrari did let the scooby by at the end of the video, as the Scooby would not have enough power to pass it if the Fezza was trying and hadn't been caught sleeping.

watching that vid, id say the ferrari was thinking, im not rapping my £100k car around a tree to race a scoob,thats what i think,

 

Ferrari wasn't trying.

Next!

 

Agreed

 

Well ive had the pleasure of driving a 360 modena with the flappy paddle gearchange at bruntingthorpe training ground and have to say the acceleration was dissapointing...compared to my v5 sti ra..

Sounded sweet and certainly had plenty of grip in the corners though.

 

Having sat behind a 360 on the M'way have to agree with Rannoch, he wasn't even trying as at no point could you hear the engine being given any stick.

 

Why oh why oh why, do pople come on here and quite happily accept that a hot hatch with a similar power to weight ratio than a Scooby will give it a hard time

YET

When a scooby with a similar power to weight ratio and -no doubt- a higher torque to weight ratio than a Fezza gives it a hard time, it's, "he wasn't trying"

Accept it: the Ferrari WAS NOT sufficently quicker than the Scooby to put clean air between it!

Conceed now, or I'll start giving chinese burns!!!!

 

give it to them NS04

and then ignore as they will come back to wind you up some more (get some talc on your hands to start chinese burning!)

 

I only watched 2 mins of it. It was crap. What`s the fuss about?





Neil.

 

I do agree actually, it'd certainly not the best vid I've seen and the driving by both parties leaves a bit to be desired too. Point made above stands though!

Just for a comparisson.

heres a 360whp STI vs a Lambo Murcielago...

This is why suercars are supercars
Video - 360 whp STI Vs. Murcielago

 

Its all about how the power is delivered. Good vid, better than that Jap ****box chasing after a Ferrari.

 

Yep, but, again, look at the figures, they explain that outcome! Now compare to the above.

Car Stats - Four Wheel Drive

The Lambo would have the poke, the Ferrari didn't.

Always preferred lambos

 

...the Autocar test of the 360 had a 0-100 time of 8s.

A Scood would either need a lot of power or a lot less weight to compete. A standard STi V does 0-100 in around 12.5s.

Also as a 360 will have reasonably linear power delivery it will feel less powerful or quick as a Scoob - until you look at the speedo. My 911 was exactly the same.

On track my 330bhp Sti V was bang on the same pace as a 355 in a straight line. But the 355 was a lot slower than the 360.

 

Which no-one (including Autocar) has been able to reproduce since. Even they had to say that they suspected that particular car wasn't std. The figures on letstorquebhp are more representative of results that have been obtained consistently since.

The car in question was a 350bhp scooby, with probably similar torque. The figures for the Fezza and Scooby are above and they tell a story that seems to correspond with that video i.e. the Fezza would not be able to put much clean air between the two. A Fezza 430 would be a different matter though, as that has more power still and the torque that the F360 lacks.

BTW power to weight ratio of 355 289.87 bhp/ton
Power to weight ratio of 355 292.39 bhp/ton

The latter won't be that much quicker. If it was, someone wasnt trying

I was just waiting for a tractor to pull out on a blind bend Or worse still a group of cyclists to be around the next corner. Not the most sensible piece of driving I've ever seen.

 

Yep, have to agree with that! There were several points in that video where I thought: You really didn't have sufficient line of sight to attack the corner like that!

gay and stupid,with michael j fox as cameraman, someone owes me 3 minutes of my life back!!

 

STi V passing Porsches

Sorry no Ferraris - lots of Porks and an M5 though and not a tractor in sight

 

Looking good mate!

You?

Ns04

 

I once beat a Ferrari 360 in my mates scoob (yep it was modded)We pulled away clean and took him on the bends up to 150 . the guy was shocked but hey who cares a Ferrari is still a Ferrari and given the choice (and if we could afford one) Id have the ferrari over my mates scoob all day long.

 

Thanks - yes it is me

A few years ago now - but just digitised the video
