All true. But Ferraris are such lookers. So beautiful, but tempermental and expensive to maintain. MARKSKI's sig says it best.

the only 360 worth owning is a 360 stradale...

After spotting my TT waiting at a red light, this black 355 passing by decides to jump on his loud-*** exhaust trying to impress my attention. Too bad he was headed in the opposite direction...

The 360 is slow especially compared to my previous Protomotive 996TT.

Never been up against a 360 in my TT, but I did in my GT3 and left him by 3-4 car lengths from a standing start. The 360's magic comes after 125-130mph then he starts to gain on you (in a GT3) but probably own't catch you in a turbo though.

I'd still love to own own one though

I took one down from a light, he seemed pretty surprised

RT7 Yours is BEAUTIFUL. As far as looks and sound go, you can't get much better than the 360, too bad their peformance doesn't match. But as far as boulevard cruisers go, I'd take one in a heartbeat.

I have footage posted out on the web somewhere of running with a 355 at VIR. I was in a modified C5 Corvette back then. They do sound sweet, and although it's an impressive car visually, I wouldn't own one.

While shopping for cars over the last two months, I came across a couple of used Ferraris. I did a little searching and the maintenance intervals will make you cry. Not to mention the cost of simple things like a windshield. Guy I know had a Maranello 550 and had to get the windshield replaced... $5500 later he was scratching his head. He now owns a 997TT that he received back in December from Porsche Tysons Corner in Northern Va. His comment to me the other day was that he'd probably never own another Ferrari because of his experience with his 997TT.

But I do admit they are serious head turners.

Yeah but if you really want to have a laugh, look at the 360s front disc brakes. They tiny

360's are gorgeous, but not very fast.
They sound magnificent with aftermarket exhuast.
360CS is one of my favorite cars.

i once wanted to see what my 355 can do with a 996TT.
came up from behind one (didn't sound nor look any special, and there aren't many modded ones here anyway) to his right, downshifted and passed him at full throttle

i could see him fully in my mirror going to the left lane and then saw the nose of the car raise and it stayed there..
the pace at which he pulled at me was AWESOME to say the least.. if we went any longer he would've definitely been ahead of me in no time, and i don't see a 355 (or a 360 for that matter) keeping up with one further down a straight

the 996TT is deceptive, it's a very very fast car but it does it at such a low pitch of sound that it really doesn't 'look the part'
