Well, Im hardly ever in this section because I just don't do much street racing (if ever) but I could not pass this up and had to share.
I was on my way to Baton Rouge from Hammond on I-55 getting ready to hit I-12 when I spotted it and I turned going completely out of my way just to catch a better glimpse of such a nice car. It was an unmistakable yellow F-430 convertible with a black top. I could hear the exhaust tone over my engine and it was beautiful! I pull up along side on I-55 and he immediately gives me a thumbs up and continues on but I enticed him a bit : )
Finally he bites and I see him coming up on me quick. Going about 50-60ish, I drop it into 3rd and build up a few more RPMs and right about the time he gets even with me I hit it WOT. He continues to pull about a car on me and at the top of 3rd i'm dead even, perfect shift into 4th and I pretty much slingshot by him and put 2-3 on him and let off. I'm estimating I was around 120-130 MPH but wasn't paying much attention.
I'm assuming the Ferrari was stock and i'm basically full-bolt ons w/ longtubes and a 2.93 upper make just shy of 440 RWHP at 15 degrees. (Car is my DD)
Anyways the guy was a good sport, I noticed him smiling ear to ear and was giving me thumbs up even after being beat!
Needless to say it was a nice detour, and a BEAUTIFUL looking Ferrari.
