Tuscan Red Rose 1 Ferrari 360 0
Discussion
Me and the wife had a nice drive out to bridgnorth yesterday had a look around the shops and stopped for a pint and a cracking home made pizza at the boat in.On the way home approaching a crossroads there was a red Ferrari 360 waiting to pull out on to the road and looking like he was coming our way, i couldnt believe my luck.I over took one car to make a bit of space then slowed down hoping he would follow, as we approached an island he came screaming up behind there was a people carrier in front as we drove around the island ,my Tuscan was in second gear and waiting to unleash the power on the prancing pony.The Tuscan is a bit off a handfull in second even on a dry road so i was cautious not to push the pedal to the floor until we were round the people carrier and going straight again.The Tuscan made easy work off the chasing ferrari, i slowed down at the top off third gear and ferrari man didnt want to play anymore.I love my Tuscan
Similar thing happened to me but it was a 430 not a 360 I don't know if he just lifted but we stopped down the road and he was so impressed with the Tuscan (the 430 is a nice motor too) . It was a different story against the only aventador I've seen that just left me looking at his massive exhaust, what a car that is !!

I can imagine the aventador being a bit more of a challengem4tti said:
The Tuscan (even mark 2 with revised geometry) gets whacked by the 430 around the top Gear test Track, by a number of seconds (both version of the 430)...
The easiest way of beating the Aventador is an Ultima GTR .. nearly 7 seconds a lap quicker than the Aventador
Maybe so but in a straight line the tuscan won the dayThe easiest way of beating the Aventador is an Ultima GTR .. nearly 7 seconds a lap quicker than the Aventador
I have played with a 430 before and we were both shocked I think.
Also did a trackday and down the back straight at Bedford I held an equal gap with a v10 r8 although who knows if I didn't get on the power sooner coming onto the straight which makes an enormous difference. I also held a gt2 and got let past but I think we all know he wasn't giving it 100%
Played with a 600 sports bike (well I guess 600) I think it was an r6 from a rolling start to about 70 and only when we got to about 60 did he start to go past, but then real world I can appreciate its hard to get the power down properly.
Pulled easily on a Ktm xbow.
Mine is a red rose and I am still shocked how quick it is, 2nd and 3rd are very impressive.

The only thing I have learnt to never play with is a Bike. A 600 piloted well by an experienced rider will eat our cars alive, even from a start.Also did a trackday and down the back straight at Bedford I held an equal gap with a v10 r8 although who knows if I didn't get on the power sooner coming onto the straight which makes an enormous difference.

Although even in losing its great to get the appreciative nod from a biker. A nod that says that was closer than I thought it would be...
always good to get a nod.m4tti said:
I know what your saying but go watch the flying lap of the sagaris they did, it's on the limit practically drifting round corners.
think the main issue is the fact the tvr was on 255 width rear tires and eagle f1's vs a ferrari with much wider rubber and better tires. From my experiance they seem around gallardo pace on acceration which is a little faster than a 360.In my friends car on corsa tires round oulton they seem a very capable car.
I have had a similar experience with a 360. Read here.
