HOw was it?
|
the Modena was really nice, i had issues with the paddles but not enough to take away from the experiance. i would have preferred a manual, but im not one to complain and i was happy to drive a car with paddles just to see how it felt. the sound of that engine is fantastic and it accelerated very fast. i only took it up to about 80mph and i wasnt full throttle at that, i cant afford to fix it if it broke. but the owner took me for a ride and we got up to 140 and the car felt great at that speed, very stable and it was still goig strong when he let off.
the 355 i got to do a little more driving in. it was the same owner as the Modena and his son was my roomate. he let us take it from LA to Santa Barbara which is a good 2 hour drive at normal speed :wink: . i love that car, i was able to drive it almost the whole way up there and for a little on the way home and also around Santa Barbara. needless to say i didnt want to give the keys back. the car handles very well and pulls hard too. Jabba is a very lucky man to have one at his disposal.
the 89 Mondial was cool as well. at the time i was only 17 so anything with the Ferrari badge excited me. it was pretty quick as well, altough my conception of speed wasnt too great back then since that was one of the first cars i really got to explore in terms of driving hard. my cousin and i got to take it around Palm Springs for about an hour or 2. he took it up to about 120mph and i barely breached 100.
all three cars i would love to drive again at anytime, anyday...so if anyone wants to let me borrow theirs..... :D
