HAH.....JUST for the record....that was me racing the Ferrari. Hondahookup is just a site with alot of local forums in the NY area, and alot of people I know post on there.
That pic of the rear end of my car was photoshopped by a friend of mine that also happens to be an SRT owner/evo hater....hehehe....
My mods are in my sig, as well as my best 1/4 time. As some pointed out up above, I did start in first gear, and the 360 owner was trying. He did start in second gear, and he did hit the rev limiter more than once before shifting @ the top of third. All in all, I was impressed and happy to not just have had the opportunity to see a 360, not just race a 360, and not just lose by half a car from 30-120, but to also have my friend(the srt owner/evo hater) sitting shotgun with a video cam ready for the run so that I dont have to tell the story, and have people call BS.

Okay guys, here's another view, as I happen to own both an EVO and a Ferrari 328.
The EVO has wider tires than the Ferrari, but the turbo lag hurts it's performance at the limits in corners -- score one to the Ferrari, but just.
The Ferrari has a huge aerodynamic advantage, given that it sits a couple of feet lower than the EVO, so in triple digit land, bye bye EVO.
In a straight line, out of a stop sign, with the EVO's turbo spooled up, the EVO would win easily.
But the Ferrari would still sound better.
That can actually be a factor. One morning, some dweeb in a clunker box decided that his manhood depended on racing a Ferrari (even an old one). He lined up in the left turn lane next to me and gunned it. He even jumped the light to try to get a head start.
After the Ferrari hit 5000 RPM, I looked in the rear view. He never made the shift. Even from the side mirror, I could see his mouth hanging wide open.
And that's only an 8cyl. The V12s are even sweeter. Nobody puts much money into a stereo in a Ferrari.
