I have seen all sorts of stuff ranging from 4.1-4.4 Can someone please tell me what the real number is? Also, is a CS much faster or is is mostly cosmetic? Apology in advance if this is something discussed a lot already. I can't seem to find what I'm looking for easily. I end up looking at all sorts of stuff that isn't about the 360. Thanks, Dan
ive heard up to 4.7 for the modena and as for the cs, it's ALOT different to the modena, more power, less weight, suspension, aerodynamics, f1 shift only, the list goes on and on.
Alot depends on year. The 99s are faster than the 2000+ models. The EPA required the insertion of pre-cast exaust restrictors. The Euros do not have the issue. In the 550s at least a 99 Euro spec will achieve 4.1 to 4.2 0-60 whereas a 2000 will be in the 4.3 to 4.6 range. I understand the 360 has a similiar situation. A Eurospec will be faster due to weight and no pre-cats. You can buy new Headers(?) from Harmony to remedy the pre-cat thing, although weight is still a factor with the U.S. spec 360s. Of, course it's a relative. They are all fast, some are just slightly quicker. J
What, 4.1-4.4 is too big a range? That's a pretty tight group, actually. I was going to say low 4-sec, but if you want an exact number, I would say 4.23988451074. Gary
There are as many different numbers as there are sources. Have seen 4 to 4.5 seconds. Tires and surface conditions make a difference. Also, the weight from a full gas tank... F1 vs stick. I don't think there is ONE number.
That all makes sense. I guess I'm shocked that there is such a range but it makes sense given all the options that effect weight. Didn't know about the 99's being faster though. Thanks for that tidbit of info. I have a Spyker C8 as well and it is listed at 4.4 and my 2000 Modena seems quite a bit faster but I guess it may just be the difference ride. Thanks everyone for your replys. Dan
Sometimes if you click on the 1/4 times and scroll to the bottom, it will show you 0-60 etc. If you see 0-60, make sure it is a legit run, and not just what a mag said! http://www.dragtimes.com/compare2.php?make1=60&model1=852&op1=%3D&year1=0&stock1=Yes&make2=60&model2=805&op2=%3D&year2=0&stock2=Yes&make3=60&model3=1092&op3=%3D&year3=0&stock3=Yes&make4=-1&op4=%3D&year4=0&submitButtonName=Compare%21
Road &Track (8/99' issue) tested a 00' 360 Modena with the following results: 0-30 1.6 0-60 4.3 0-100 10.2 1/4 mile 12.8 @ 112.5 mph Tim
I own a 99 Modena\\\\\\\and its fast enough and i dont care about the numbers. Although i used when i was 16.........i used to know all about 0 to 60. I just drive it hard and often. Maintain it like the way its supposed to be. I plan to put 8k a year.
I just it odd that there was such a range for the speed. 4.1 is quite a difference from 4.7 so I was curious. I'm happy for you that you don't care but if all we ever did on this board was post questions you cared about I'm not sure how much we would discuss. I do appreciate the posts guys, very constructive and educational-- for me at least.
Not really Dan, Think about it like this. Coupe or Spyder? 6 speed or F1? If 6 speed, how good are you with the stick If F1, what's the condition of the clutch wear/etc. Surface traction? Tires? Environmental conditions? How much are you willing to abuse your Ferrari? Hopefully you are starting to see *some* of the factors which go in "drag racing" which is what 0-60 is, and which is NOT what a Ferrari is designed for. All of these factors play into the different times you have read about. Jim
Well said, These are all quick cars. And face it, everyone of us can get smoked by some over modded $35k piece of plastic. When you drive these cars either V8 or V12, it will be difficult to remove the smile from your face. John
Gary, I believe your calculator is faulty or you have failed to read it correctly. Everyone knows the exact number is 4.2398845107(3)
Well maybe for a RED one.... but Gary was taking into account the extra photons absorbed by the paint of a BLACK one, thereby generating more heat which translates into more HP, accounting for the extra .000000000001 second. Took me a while to figure that one out though...
All very very good points. I think the road and track stuff is the best guess for my curiosity since they test under like conditions for all their tests. I'm trying to compare against DB9's, Gallardo's, Spyker C8, etc. just for the hell of it. I didn't expect to drag or anything like that, just curious. Stock is what I was interested in and six speed versus F-1. You listed a bunch of variables and guess they could go on and on. I noticed changing air pressure by 5 pounds has made my car act VERY differently so I see your points. Thanks again for the feedback guys. Dan
I see there are a lot of different opinions about what the 360's 0-60 time. The bottom line is it depends on a lot of different factors, to name a few transmission, traction, elevation, and most importantly the driver. The 360 manual says 4.5 0-60 and Road and Track may say 4.3. The difference is likely the factors I mentioned above.
What on earth is the launch technique for manual 360's? Hold it at 5k and then feather the clutch in? Another thing, doesn't Road and Track subtract .3 of a second because of wheel spin? It woudl be nice to find a resource that showed each magazines particular launch technique and 'deductions' they use.
wow, thats faster than a 430, which has 95 extra hp!!! i can tell you i have driven several 360s, including coupes and spiders, f1 and manual, none of them felt nearly that fast by my seat of the pants meter
I agree with you. As a well-instructed maniac I can say I gave the car the business (2001 360 F1) and it did not feel under-4-fast.
well i dropped clutch real hard during launch that might have tricked g-tech because there's no way my 360 is faster than my BMW, plus G-Tech is optmistic here's my experience with G-Tech her, see for yourself: http://www.jimmy540i.com/gtech.htm
