[quote=basil;1396165] Recently I've been quite surprised at comments from a couple of Ferrari 360 and 355 owners that told me that their cars don't feel all that stable at high speed. I thought that was one of the highlights of these cars.
Basil I have had a 360 MOD F1 on the limiter in 6th with the speedo showing an indicated 203mph, prob around 180 in real money but I thought it was unreal how stable the car felt. Its was a bit of a moment though because I was looking at the road ahead, as you would be at those speeds ! and all of a sudden felt the car missing, instantly I thought oh no game over / this is not good but then quickly glanced at the clocks and the rev counter was in the red and bouncing off the limiter. I then had the thought of the Le Mans car that went airborne and decided that I needed to lift of very slow and steady but at an indicated 180/185 she went a little light on me and gave a tiny shake of her bum. I nearly shat my pants
Needless to say it was all fine but it sure was quick and to reply to your post, I would say the 360 was just glued to the road at big speeds, don’t forget they are all panelled under the floor to ensure good aerodynamics at high speed.
