Funnily enough, I drove another 360 today

A black one (both inside and out), manual H-gate shifter and a Challenge setup (the grills and seats and so on).

TT was there to take pics too, I lent my car to the owner of the 360 who took TT in my car for a ride, whilst I went out for a drive with his car and my GF on the passenger seat.

I hope TT posts the pics soon coz I need some 'souvenirs' to remember the day by =) (racing through the woods and country lanes made my heart pump sooo hard, the adrenaline rush was quite something).

thanks for summoning me

The black 360 rocks ... nice pics TT.

Just buy it Shinri .. you know you want to ...

Shinigami · 10-16-2005, 03:13 PM

Pics look good, like always!

Yeah, I really do want to buy one, but it won't be possible just yet. I need to save up money for at least another year, especially as I think I'd like a relatively low mileage one (say, up to 15k miles) and I absolutely MUST have it in Rosso Corsa, it's just THE Ferrari color for me. Boring perhaps since so many of them are red, but I just like it that way

And then, I really would like to have a tubi and the Challenge kit on it (and I want it to be a Modena, not a Spider). Right at this moment, I really don't mind if it was an F1 or standard manual. Either will go fine, the most important being the general condition of the car.

Oh well... unless I can get some more 'little jobs' to do in weekends and evenings, it will still take some time before this dream becomes true.

Oh, and may I ask a favor from those who happen to read this post? Has anyone got interior pics of a Challenge Stradale? (shame the C/CS is so much more expensive then a standard Modena...).

Cheers

Thanks Shin, always easier to take nice pics when you shoot nice cars

and even if this topic is about the Ferraris, I have to say the more I shoot your SLK the more I like its lines.. is sooo compact, like a little toy, but packing so many horses! The thrust and the soundtrack are still something special! And incredible to see how small it looks when put beside a Modena, even if latter is black, it still seems HUGE!

Shinigami · 10-16-2005, 04:17 PM

The 360 looks so large because it's a lot wider, it gives it a bigger stance. A real road hugger =)

Apparently changing the headers for the SLK will push HP up to around 400, and changes the exhaust note to something really wild. Too bad it costs just over 3000euro for the mod (if I go onsite in Denmark to do it in Kleemann's office). Might as well save up money for the 360...

TT · 10-16-2005, 04:38 PM

Yep for sure and the soundtrack is damn nice already.. for sure it passes the tunnel test

BTW, is there any worthy exhaust system which improves the sound without messing it up completely?

Shinigami · 10-17-2005, 03:47 AM

Brabus, Kleemann, Renntech etc, all release exhausts for the SLK. I haven't heard them however, since they're extremely rare... so I don't know if they make it louder, higher, lower, more staccato, or whatever.

The only word I have is from the manufacturers who say that "it makes the SLK sound better". Everyone has their own definition of 'better', but apparently several people have changed the headers which resulted in a more free flowing engine, so I guess it made them 'louder' for sure.

Indeed, "better" is a very subjective concept sadly, and the only way to judge is by hearing them all, which is honestly, impossible :bah:
