Thanks, I was slight hesitant about getting a paddle shifter, but the scud transmission is a fine piece of machinery. If only the v12s had that I would have gotten that instead of the V8 manual.

Congrats on the 360! Arguably a great 'value' right now for what you get.

+1 on wanting a spyder 355 next to my V8V!!! Still cant' get that out of my head.

I finally got my 360 last night and had time to get some seat time today finally! The car was supposed to be delivered by Wednesday but of course the dealer (Marshall Goldman in Cleveland), unapologetically over promised and under delivered. I could (and may) write an entire post dedicated to these guys.. In short, I should have taken the advice of others I read on the various forums as well as the mainstream business review sites and bought elsewhere. I got caught up in how perfect the car was for me and chose to roll the dice with Marshall Goldman.. Never again.

The 360 is a fantastic car. I'm really pleased with this decision as I wanted something really "raw" to compliment the GT characteristics of the DBS. I considered another 911 Turbo as I've owned one in the past and really enjoyed it but as brutally quick as they are, they're also so well engineered in my opinion they loose some personality.. The 360 doesn't have that problem at all. I find it to be the ideal generation of mid engine Ferrari. New enough to have all the quirks shaken out but old enough to contain the classic Ferrari visceral heritage everyone expects when driving these cars. "Raw" is the best word I can use to describe this car. I absolutely love it!

Superb and fun, keep us posted on the dual ownership. Look forward to the dual-ownership posts story on here.
