Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Talladega-no one interested!

[LS (lashdeep]

I only got to ride in a GT3 Cup and we saw just over 255kph on the main
straight at Summit Pt. It was an amazing car. I get my turn behind the
wheel of it in October.

A ex-pro friend has seen over 200mph on that tiny straight in a prototype.
It puts everything into perspective.
