The Ferrari driver also brought his Bentley GT which was far more impressive than the Ferrari. He ran a 12.90@105 with 3 guys in the car.
with the perfect launch a modified 360 CS would MAYBE run low 13? lol What are u talking about man the CS is rated at 12.6 s at 114 mph. Upon doing a very very quick search i already found some 12.2's and a 12.1 at 117 mph. That guy is either not pushing hard, he cant drive, or theres some kind of problem with the car. For you to say optimum conditions a low 13, thats a joke. Yes maybe the altitude robs power but it doesnt rob a full seconds worth in the small amount of a time in a quarter mile, absolutely no way.
The 360CS is dead slow. A Gallardo will ruin it. The owner of the car switched drivers even, and the guy who ran a 12.40 in his Gt3 couldnt do any better in the 360CS. You cant miss gears in the 360cs, it is an F1.

As for the Gallardo, it also depends on what Gallardo you were in. An 06+ is substantially faster than an 04/05. We did alot of research with my car, and to give you an idea, bone stock my SE dynoed 437rwhp, while the closest 04 dynoed 414rwhp. This 04 was also not stock, it had full exhaust and air filters. In reality, even though Lamborghini claims only a 20 hp increase for the 06+, they make closer to 50Hp at the crank over an 04-05. Meanwhile, most 360CS in reality make approx 320rwhp. There was a large debate about the CS as owners who dynoed their cars found out that they made no more power than a reg 360 and that Ferrari also UNDERSTATED the weight falsely. One guy actually sued Ferrari.

But again, you guys are know it alls, and your magazines are gospel. :roll:
Im not saying its as fast as the gallardo or porsche or any car for that matter. All im saying is that ive read wayyy to many sources of the 360CS doing 12.1 - 12.6 or 8 to believe ur quotes about how the CS is very overratted hp wise, making no more power than a regular 360, etc etc I mean one magazine might lie or exaggerate maybe even 2 or 3 but common, im sure not every mag is lying and exaggeratting the 360CS's quarter mile times.
