I also had a friend with a Ferrari and when I got my Shell valley on the road my friend looked down his nose at my plastic car......this was 1993 the Shell Valley had a well built 302 with a T-5 behind it running a Ford 9 inch with 4:51 gears.
He had a 1991 Testrossa...I rocked his world when we went to Sears Point and all he could see was my rear bumper pulling away on the straights and just barely coming into sight on the turns !!!!!!!!!! Another one of my friends had his automotive performance expectation reset when I took him for a ride.........He suddenly realized that his Carrera...was a boys car ..The cobra is a Mans car !!!!! His words...not mine.
Sold the Ferrari hid the Porche
Today the Ferrari owner drives a Shelby fiberglass bodied Cobra with a 427 in it....they are both cringing awaiting the arrival of the FFR daytona...
