Hey Guys/Gals
I made a trip up to Poway, CA to pick up some 8.5 Vectors wheels that a board member was selling. Long story short while coming back and merging on to I-5 north bound I noticed a red Ferrari. Not sure of the model or series just that it was very wide, convertible, no spoiler in the rear, looked to have two small round fog lights in the front nose along with head lights, on the trunk it said something like 35? Or 36? on the rear right trunk lid area. CA license plate (RAP GAME) kind of figured it would be a rappers car or something. The guy was wearing a ball cap that was turned around backwards that had NY embroiled on it, hot looking asian chick, possibly Spanish riding shotgun. I couldn’t resist I had to get a closer look at it, it was an absolutely beautiful car and sounded awesome, kind of sound that would make your hair stick up on back of your neck when he got on it a couple of times. I know the GTO wouldn’t be much of a match, so I didn’t even bother try to pick a race with him, but I did antagonize him a little and he got on it a couple of times. (Only if I had the Buick I thought) Well I followed him until I had to get of my exit and that was it. So I thought!
Later that evening around 8:30PM I was headed back to San Diego to meet up with some friends just off the 805 and Balboa, next thing I know I see a car coming up behind me a good rate of speed, then passes me. I was like no friggen way! At that time I immediately floored it and got up next to him, sure enough it was the same car, same people and license plate number I seen earlier! I was like what are the chances of us meeting on the same highway just a few hours later? Normally I don’t mess around on the highways but honestly I felt this encounter could not be avoided. While next to him and making eye contact he jumps on it, I didn’t respond the first time he did it but when he let of the gas, blue fire exited the exhaust, I was like cool that is one bad ass car! Blood pumping I speed up and got up next to them, paused for a second and then just floored it, just to give him an idea what he’s up against. I stayed in it for a few seconds and then slowed back down to 65-70 mph, seemed like it to them forever to catch up. Once he did he jumped in front of me and got on it, I immediately got on it then got out of it as I almost ran up on him, got on it again and the same thing, got out of it, repeated this once more and just thought to my self I would kill him up 130mph or so…. He slowed down and I ended up getting into the right lane fixing to get off on Balboa, I honked, they both exchanged big smile, I gave a thumbs up and went are separate ways. Man, I haven’t this kind of rush in a while and playing around like this comes once in a blue moon, but I just couldn’t resist.
I was pushing 23pnds of boost with left over 110 Octane from the night before mixed with 91 pump gas, with Methanol injection. Had zero knock, EGT were at 890….running very rich.
Any idea of what kinda of Farrari this could have been?
