Specs for the 355 are as follows:
V8, mid mounted
Engine Size 3496 cc
Horsepower 380 bhp @ 8250 rpm
Torque 268 lb.ft @ 6000 rpm
Max. Speed 294 km/h (184 mph)
0-60 mph
4.6 sec

The yellow Ferrari is a Maranello you would need a 951 with 430+ hp to beat that monster.

I don't think pinche juan is affraid of Z-man, is someone else

For all of you street racers check this out
http://www.nsxfiles.com/Pyramid_of_speed.htm

Street Racers:
These are the yahoos that you see trying to do smoky burnouts on city streets. They look around for deserted industrial areas so they can "Race" each other in a straight line. They think NOS is cool. They think "Fast and Furious" is a shoe-in for an Oscar, both for best picture, best actor, and best documentary. They post on various Internet BBS boards short stories talking about their "Kills", where they went 0-60 faster than some other car on busy city streets.

Favorite type of woman: Any sixteen year old female who hangs out at those Import car shows and will show some skin, never mind that her skin is pimply.

Favorite Magazine: Import Tuner. Sport Compact Car. Turbo Digest. NOS World.
Freeway Racers:
Next to the bottom are these guys. They frown upon Street Racers, thinking that Street Racers are 0-80 mph wimps. Instead, Freeway Racers think that they are cool, as they go 120+ mph and weave in and out of traffic on the highway like a bunch of morons on crystal meth. The problem is that these boneheads have spent money to make their car a little faster and a little noisier than usual, but they forgot one thing: they are going at dangerously high speeds and they have itty bitty front brakes, small rear drum brakes, and they have never attended a go-fast driving school. They forgot the Stop-Fast parts when they modified their cars. Not good when Sally Homemaker in her 6000 lbs SUV makes a lane change at 55 mph without signaling and without looking for cars coming up on her at triple digit speeds. They post on various BBS boards about their "Kills", where they passed some guy driving a more expensive car at 110 mph, saying that they knew that "Name_your_Car" drivers can't drive worth a crap.

Favorite type of woman: Any female that is impressed by them driving 100 mph with a beer in their hand, a joint in the other, and no seat belt on. Needless to say, these guys are usually dateless.

Favorite magazine: High Times. Mad Magazine

I don't think quite that much is needed.

its funny how they play that supra off as being a 10 second car when it only had like 460hp. The race agianst the ferrari is prety realistic considering the power to weight ratio.


430HP is probably about right. The maranello's have 508hp dont they? Maybe since the 575m weighs 3800lbs it would take 400hp-430hp but 430 would be damn close to neck and neck. correct me if im wrong?

I was thinking of the 550 Maranello which has about 480bhp and weighs nearly 4000 pounds.

3800/508=7.480
3000/405=7.407

thats assuming a stock weight 951. My 951 is 2800 pounds, and will be close to 2700 pounds soon.

at 2800 pound:
2800/375=7.467

So I would need 375 hp at the crank to keep up with a maranello.

Of course, this is a very rough estimate, assuming all other variables are equal, but they aren't. Things like gear ratios (prolly in favor the the Ferrari), drivetrain loss (probably in favor or the 951), even aerodynamics etc effect it. Also assuming from a roll. From a stop, haha, you need lots more hp.

I don't race btw, track ***** here, but I did enjoy the story.

no, just weighing everything that came off and went in. the car is less then standard 87's as it is since it doesn't have ABS, central locking, base sound system, etc. so my car wasn't 3000 to begine with. I want to weigh it on a truck scale, or have it corner balanced sometime to know for real what it is.
