Another Short Video of the 360 Modena

Here's another short clip of the black 360 shot by Warren...
360 + Capristo Stage 3 = Bliss



My previous post, 'Short Video of the 360 Modena'.

360 Challenge Stradale

Managed to squeeze in some time to take some pictures of the 360 Challenge Stradale sitting in my garage last night.

Beautiful isn't she? The Challenge Stradale, like the GT's of Porsche's or the Superleggera's of Lamborghini's or even the F430's Scuderia's, are a lightweight, more track focused versions of their counterparts.

Carbon Fiber Side Mirrors.

Legendary Prancing Horse. SF stands for 'Scuderia Ferrari' which was the racing team that was lead by Enzo Ferrari himself.

Aluminum Grill Mesh with the CS (Challenge Stradale) Emblem.

The car sits lower, apparently on titanium springs.

Carbon Fiber... Delicious...

Rear diffuser.

Little prancing horse on the petrol cap.

19" BBS Challenge Alloys with Titanium wheel bolts. Carbon Ceramic brakes can be seen too.

Carbon Fiber door panels.

Carbon Fiber seats.

Carbon Fiber center console.

The V8 now producing slightly more power over the standard model pushing 425hp at 8500rpm. It's not much but coupled with it's 110 kg diet, it's power to weight ratio has improved significantly.

This one still has the standard exhausts but it loud as heck having removed all restrictions.

Here's a short clip of her starting up...

After lunch...

After lunch, we headed down to Ong's place to fit my head unit in again. It suddenly stopped working. Fortunately, it was still under warranty. Also went down there to check out the Black 360 Modena. Has been out of action for a while now.











Had a short drive with Aaron in the 360 Modena and me in the N�r. We took the Penchala Link and my god, the Stage 3 Capristo Exhaust on the 360 sounds amazing! Alas, there was no tripod or passenger to hold my camera and capture the moment....

Anyway, here's a clip of her starting up...

Night Drive Video Revisited

Warren has just uploaded a re-edited video of the night drive they had while I was still in San Francisco. Aaron looks like he was having a blast after the tuning. Must have kicked ass!

Check it out in HD...


Here are my previous entries of the drive...

Short Video of the 360 Modena

Here's a short clip I nicked from my brother Aaron while he was driving the black 360 Modena with the Capristo Exhaust System. She screams!

Part Deux

Remember the short clip of the N�r, V-spec II, Spec C RAR and a 360 in my 'Slowing Down' entry?

Here's the second part and a little fire spitting clip from the Spec C RAR.
Enjoy. =)

Fire Fire...

Guinevere, my 'Snow White Queen'... I love you... You rock!

360 Modena

There has been a couple of new toys sitting in the garage lately...

A 360 Modena with a Capristo Exhaust System, a nice yellow H3 and a manual 996, 911 Turbo.



I haven't had time to take pictures of the H3 or 996 turbo so let's start with the Black 360 Modena...



Just a little fact, the town Modena is actually the birthplace of Mr. Enzo Ferrari. Successor to the F355 and predecessor to the F430, the 360 Modena had an all new all-aluminum space-frame chassis that was 40% stiffer than the 355, yet 28% lighter despite a 10% increase in overall dimensions. Hence, why the F430's chassis is heavily based on the 360 Modena's as it was quite a marvel at it's time.



This car is definitely an attention grabber. However, I must say it is a handful to drive compared to the N�r. More raw. It was even criticized on Top Gear by James May saying jokingly, "Actually, this is why it's called the F360, this model. You drive along, come to a corner, and you go 'Fff...' as you do a 360!".

I'm sure you are all wondering how she sounds. I'll try to get a video of her up soon. Watch this space. =)

Slowing Down

Once again, sorry for the lack of updates. I have begun working not long after I got back and I am swamped with work. I didn't get a chance to have a quick holiday before jumping in the rat race. Work started on the 2nd of Jan 2009 for me, even before I have completely recovered from the sore throat and jet lag I have.

Anyway, here's a clip a couple of Aaron's friends took, before I came back to Kuala Lumpur. After the N�r was mapped and tuned, my younger brother Aaron took her out. A couple of his friends invited him out for a drive. He was very suspicious as they rarely ask him out for drives. At first it was thought only a 360 Modena would show up. Guess what tagged along, a Subaru Spec-C RAR. I guess it was intended to give the N�r a run for it's money, but little did they know... *grin*

Before heading out, they had a couple of drinks at Decanter, Damansara Heights when along came Fariz passing by. Fariz decided to join the fun too.

Here's a short clip Aaron's friends made of the night. I think there is more but we'll just have to wait...

You can also watch the clip in HD on YouTube. Enjoy.
