for modenna its

276 lbs.-ft. @ 4,750 rpm

shouldn't 335 pose a competition?

The Procede 335 is fast...it's just that the Ferrari is, well, ......faster. From a straight dig the Ferrari will have an avantage as well as speeds surpassing 100 miles an hour. It wouldn't be a total blowout, but I woudln't try to follow him in corners. It'd be fund to TRY and keep up, as long as you did it carefully.

Oh, .....and don't put any money down on the 335 in this horse race it's sure to lose, Proceded or not!

PC335 = 367+/- hp
382+/- tq
3461 lbs
360 modena = 400 hp
276 tq
2844 lbs
pretty close.

Pretty close!?!?! Where is the reefer smiley when I need it.

each 100lbs is a little more than ~10HP at the WHEELS. That car is 600 lbs lighter so you'd need 60 more HP than it to be even. Then you have to look at the fact that the ferrari is going to put the power to the wheels a little better off the line because of the less torque. With a perfect launch and sticky tires the 335 might hop off the line faster, but even with proceed no way in HELL the 335 is going to be close at the end. And if it was in the twisties? heh.

Does that answer your question?

Finally someone with some sense! The gap would only widen past the 1/4 mile.

Things you must learn.
1) On the internet, everyone has a 12" penis.
2) On the internet, a lot of people aren't very logical.

No offense to the OP, I can see how someone could maybe think it would be close, but a simple search would have returned the quarter times and then you know it isn't close at all.
