Yeah, 360 sounds great, looks great and is an all over fab car. I think realisticly you cant justify why you would buy any supercar so the q is why not? Good gearbox whatever, if you like it. What colour is it?? Im a big ferrari fan but wouldnt swap my porsche for it, to have both would be great, congrats

I agree the 430 is absolutely a superior vehicle, but it's also twice the price. $80k is hard to swallow for a vehicle (thank goodness for self-employment and a company profitable enough to provide it as a company car ), much less $150k. Performance bang for the buck, a 360 is definitely not at the top of the list. A Ferrari is more of a work of art that you can admire. I love the older Ferraris, but the cost of maintenance is crazy. The 360 was the first Ferrari with the focus of being a capable daily driver. Maintenance is easier, more affordable, the car is larger and more comfortable. I also love the style of the newer Ferraris.

I still love the look and sound of the 360. Even though the 996TT can easily be modded to spank the 360, I'd take a 360 over a 996 all day long. Park the two side by side and there's no comparison, the 360 is stunning in comparison.

Congrats on the new F car!

True that. I can't justify the extreme maintenance costs just to drive 5 or 10K miles. They're so damn sensitive. If I won the Mega Millions, maybe.
My friend's 360 recently went in for clutch/timing belt/fluids/etc... and the motor let go while the tech was test driving. (Something in the heads) I don't know where to point the finger but it wasn't some 18-yr. old first week on the job tech. Dealer had to eat the cost.

I'd say who cares, both great cars. Like others have said, the sound alone is worth it!
