Cool ahhh, c'mon, Ben

What I did was to turn every tone control up to it's highest setting, no kiidding, including the separate, lol, "sub woofer" setting. You DO know you can dial up the sub, right?

LOL, "opposite of an audiophile" is a little conservative. I have the $2k "Hi-Fi" upgrade and it's the biggest joke of a radio (I you can really say stereo or sound system) I've "ever" had in a car (and that includes the beaters when growing up). It doesn't bother me in the least though because it's hardly ever on given it can't much be heard of the real "sound system". I wouldn't want to dilute that CS music.

360 vs cs

Except the cabonfiber body in the cs and of course the engine, what are the exterior differences between the modena and the cs? Does the modena have the markers on each side of the the rear window? Are there notiecable differences on side rockers and front and rear bumpers? It seems the mirrors are different. Anything else?
Really like the cs wheels and am not too crazy about the starspoked modena wheels. Would it be too much of a transgression to slap on cs wheels on a 360? Or how bout novitec 1 luggers? Im in the market for a ferrari since I have an extra garage spot, but Im realizing the 430 might have to wait 1 or 2 years. A modena seems like a good option since I dont really like the cf body in a cs. The car is just too loud for me. Any suggestions?

Nope, I sure didn't. Adding some base the current tin can sound would do wonders! Hell, I still can't even figure out how to manual tune in stations. You can tell how much I listen to it

Yes, bumpers, side rockers, rear diffuser, rims, brakes, rear decklid spoiler lip, etc. It's so very different from the 360 that it looks more like the F430 than it does a 360.

I believe it is. A shot like this even with telephoto, you will not see an equal blur on both the trees and grass. With a narrower depth of field, (i.e. a 400 or 600mm, wide open aperture) the right side of your CS will also begin to blur and the farther it gets, the more blur it gets.

Exactly what I thought, it is closer to a monza. Couldnt really put my finger on it but the modena looks a bit dated compared to the cs. Maybe the amv8 then if that car ever comes out?????

Re: Re: ahhh, c'mon, Ben

Ben, there's a separate manual for the stereo, (in case you did know that) Manual tuning is a ***** though. You have to press a button on the upper right of the unit to even have access the manual button. After that, you can manually set & lock in your channels. It's a huge PIA! It's a VERY complicated head unit, and after 1 quick run through the manual, I still don't have it all figured out. Seriously though, you should try cranking the treble/bass & sub all the way up. It ain't that bad! Well, as long as you're not TOO particular

There's no CF in the body

afaik, it's an all alum body just like the standard 360M. The interior door panels are CF, as are the seatbacks, and the rear glass is Lexan type Plexi, but no CF body panels. I think they managed to shave an additional 280lbs off the standard 360's weight. Oh ya, don't forget the CCM rotors and titanium lug bolts and suspension pieces They greatly reduce the unsprung weight.

Exactly -- what a piece! How can you talk about the stereo -- the car should never have been ordered with one.

Seriously Steve, congrats and drive it in good health.

Next time, get a good color so you don't have to PS it so much.

So it's ironic you would use the word pathetic.

Go make some money and buy one so you can prove to us how superior any one of these cars are.
Lol haman, no offense but your tone and manner of speaking is often so defensive, like you've got a chip on your shoulder. Just one question and dont interpret this as a flame attempt. But do you know what this Choi guy makes and what cars he drives?
And for anyone else that feels like chiming in, is this Choi guy really a porsche trasher?
Oh and apropo nothing, anyone in America could lease an expensive car with a decent credit rating. An expensive car really is no true measure of wealthy one is.

Wow the cs really is a stunningly beautiful car. Seems the car has no bad angles. Strangest thing though, Ive always thought that each car has one colour that makes it look its best, but the cs looks equally stunning in red, yellow, silver and titanium. I hate stickers and such but even the stripe looks ok on a cs. I guess the cs is something like a hot chick thats still hot when u wake up with her the next morning.
