thinking to switching back to F360...

I just recently sold my 360 and got 06 Pearl Orange Gallardo. Its a wonderful car to have around and bring lots of excitement! I'm actually not a Lambo person, but was willing to try for the first time. Now I miss the 360 and got the opportunity to own a 04 Grigio Titanio F360 again. What do you guys think?

Thanks

What is it about the Gallardo that makes you miss the 360 - I would take RWD over AWD anyday.

well..i just miss the Ferrari. For me, driving the Ferrari is more like really really in somekind of a racecar without the gps nav or the more luxurious G interior. The exhaust noise,well, actually, can't be described by words..especially with capristo.

sometimes i think that the G is similar to normal sports car but much more powerful and kinda low and have more exotic feeling when in it. but the Ferrari is different in some ways.

let me know what u guys think

sounds like you already know your answer. Why don't you try something new and get a 430?

sounds crazy to me. just get exhaust for your G and convert it to rwd.

or go for a F430...but a 360 in my mind is a step backwards.

I was working on a deal for F430, but it didn't happen last time (too much story to tell) so I ended up buying the G. Not that I don't want to try the F430 this time, but I got a very nice deal on the 04 360 that I'm thinking to take this first, and then in the meantime searching for a nice F430

Agree, 360 did nothing for me, I love the way the G feels/drives/sounds... I can't see stepping down to a 360? And I hate awd too lol. I'd mod the G and convert to rwd if you want that "rwd" feeling, open exhaust on a G is fricken loud.

Completely understand your addiction to Ferrari. However, unless I had my sights on a CS I would move to the 430.

I would have to say the same thing, CS or 430. I personally think that the 430 is the ultimate Ferrari. Dont get me wrong I like Lambos but I would pick a 430 over a G or 360 any day.

on a side note, it seems the 360s are worth slight more than the Gs and that 430s are worth about 50% more than 360s.

good luck.

Ferrari is a pure sports car. It concentrates on driving feel and puts all control in your hands. Its easy to see why someone would like it. I drove one and it simply felt right.

It is in direct contrast to many modern cars. Usually, driving a new car requires me to adjust to it and it takes time before I even drive it hard. Driving a Ferrari for the first time was like driving something I had driven my entire life, in that I was completely confident and comfortable in it to where I can push it hard right away.

I've tried the 360's while having my G and the lack of power on the 360 compared to the G made my decision. Not saying I would never get a 360 since I'm maybe looking to get into a spider.Anyways I would jump up to the F430 newer technology and more power.

+1 on the CS. And it has plenty of power.
