Yeah, guess so. Not exactly what you expect to see in a middle class Torrance neighborhood. These (355 F1 Spyder) aren't super expensive as Ferraris go, but they ain't exactly chump change either. I *think* he said he spent about $62k for it. The most recent service from the previous owner, was like a $10k "refresh".

It's pretty awesome, next time he's going to take me out in it.

And the Vette ain't exactly stock, it's a 402 Twin Turbo with turbo headers that alone are works of art, fabbed up by a guy who does exhaust fab for Indy cars.

I realize this is an old post, but IIRC the F355 requires new timing belts every 15K miles and the cost to change them is about 10 stacks... christ...

That may be a cop's car, but it's not a cop car.

It had both lights in the grill and the back window. So it might not be a "Cop" car but it can/will pull you over.

true but it does take away from my speed buffer (most cop cars cant go past 138) That thing would do 150 - 160

I have a friend that took a new charger police car out to Seal Beach and it topped out at 160. IIRC the 300C SRT8 tops out at 170.

Ya the chargers are gear limited to 173 (they reach this in 4th).
My V in drag limited (tall 6th gear) so the V can only do 163 stock.
Well the new V Is also drag limted (tall 6th gear) can do 191 stock.

I have a little more power to the wheel then a New V and the gearing is almost the same (+/- .01 of a ratio)

I've only been up to Redline in 5th. I didnt shift in to 6th to see how it felt/pulled.
