uh can I borrow a paper towl. I think I made a big sticky mess

ok I have no idea what the heck is going on over here but in the last 2 days I have seen

a ferarri f50... you know the car that looks like a race car but you can drive it on the street.... all I know for sure on stats 0-60 3.5

ran into an unknown year DeTomaso pantera GTS also
this car was also hella fast. the only thing I was able to see on it was the rear looked like the new lambo diablos. if anyone could provide stats I would be thankfull... even more so the car kicked my a$$ BAD!!!!

a shelby cobra (prolly just a kit but either way)

lamobo countach

and a testarossa

just a few more cars to mention

2 acura NSX´s, a viper, some porsche 911 with the turbo setup


all this is two days

I just wish I knew what was going on and if anyone could please provide stats or info to any of these cars I would be happy


oops almost forgot to make this thing able to last since this is the street racing board.
when I raced the pantera... I held even till about 5mph... then he just flat out took off.

as another side note, I raced a celica kinda like my 78 was ( if you guys remember the raced a metro and lost story you know what I´m talking about)

I think he had me on the launch cause I was trying to take it easy on my car, but by the time I hit about 10mph I just started taking off from him.... those cars are slower then frozen sheiat

I can give you some ideas about these cars.

DeTomaso:
351ci (Ford Cleveland Block)/350hp
0-60 in 5.9 seconds
1/4 in 14.3@97.2

Countach:
268ci/475hp
0-60 in 6.0
1/4 in 14.6@100
(There's a couple variations of the Countach, but this seems to be the most common setup)

Testarossa:
302ci/380hp
0-60 in 6.3
1/4 in 14.5@100.7

what is the GTS for on the pantera?
and the stats on that are nothing near to what this thing was running. I don´t know how hard it would be to modify but being it has a ford motor in there I wouldn´t think too hard... but this guy was running a lot faster then that

It's something Italian, kinda like GTA stands for Grand Turismo Americano. Not sure what GTS stands for though. Yeah dude, modifying the 351 block is a snap and could easily get that thing a hella lot quicker.

I'm supprised at those times. I would have thought those cars would be faster. I would love to run into one of those on the street, so I can show up some rich **** who doesn't even know how an internal combustion engine works

dude the fact is most of the time ..the unmodded one's are owned by 60-70 year old ppl who dont even care to push the rev's above 4000

...the only countach ive driven is a MIRAGE countach replica ..(a company based in london...offers a kit with a chevy 350 v8 or the ford 302...) with some kinda renault transaxle...

well are u sure RX7 u didnt run into a replica ??? cos they are very very hard to tell apart ..i think the only difference that i could spot was the small Mirage badge in the back (the front badge looks soo similar to the lamborghini badge)
ohh yeah forgot to add the mirage was right hand drive....

iroc22 i think the 0-62mph for the countach is more like in terms of 5 seconds

well about the porsche 911 turbo ..they came with a lot of setups from over the years ..(did it have a whale tail spoiler???) or was it one of those active spoilers that lift up? what did it say in the back ..carrera 2 / 4 (with S)??? or turbo?
