Ok, just kidding!!!! 
I didn't trade it in, just the newest addition to my stable of toys. Still have the 996TT as my daily driver fun car. Despite having owned Porsches all my life, a Ferrari is simply a thing of beauty and to now own one is simply inspiring.
While not as fast as the 996TT, it is no slouch in the performance department. The F1 transmission is phenomenal, the handling superb, and actually quite comfortable to drive. But with only 16k on the odometer and having just spent $9k on a major maintenance (and a new clutch), it definitely won't get the mileage put on it like the 996TT does.

so how much have the 360's come down in value? did you get a good deal on it? i think the car is awesome but we're all glad you didn't trade your 996tt for it. no body would have been rude and said you made a mistake to trade it in but .... ummmm .... some would have thought it.

I drove that and an F430 and I wasn't really impressed with the 360. The gearbox wasn't great, the power wasn't great, and the visibility was very poor. The 430 was much better, but still had visibility issues. I'm sticking with my Turbo for now.

Yeah there are faster cars, cars with better gearboxes, cars with better visibility, cheaper to maintain, cheaper to insure, blah, blah, blah. So what!!
It's a Ferrari, and it's the first Ferrari that is comfortable for people over 6 feet tall. Congratulations - it's a beautiful car and I love the sound of that small displacement V8.
