ED, I didn't know that GT2 was in the Excellence magazine shootout until Alex from Sharkwerks told me. Yes, I am enjoying every minute of that GT2....
I just put on some pilot cups on it with the Work RPM wheels. I will be bring it to its first track day....

My 4 year old GT2 was considered a HIGH milage car with 15k ... the car was in excellent condition and still under warranty ... had to sell it to someone in Taiwan.

Sorry to hear that, but sometimes selling cars , especially to dealer is frustrating. Buyers will always have something to complain about your car.
If a dealer would have bought your car, then will present that as
a very look mileage car to potential customers.
If you don't mind me asking, did you get a good price selling the car to Taiwan?

No ... they stole it

I bought a used Ferrari and don't think I'll lose as much on it in 3-4 years as I did on the GT2 in 7 months.

Wow, that's quite a statement. I owned a Modena because I don't like paddle shifters. I put 1700 track miles on the car in the 2 years I owned it, and it was simply spectacular on the track. I did replace pads and fluid, and ran RA-1s. I know of perhaps 6 other 360 owners in the Bay Area who regularly track their cars, and Ferrari of San Francisco sponsors 2 or 3 track days every year. And by the way, I sold my 360 with 6000 mi on it for $2500 more than I paid for it when I bought my 430 (which I also track). You may not see 360s at your local track days because we often do private track days.

Good to hear that. By the way, who did you sell the 360 to? A dealer?

I would like to know who will be happy to take tracked Ferraris as a trade. Most dealers I spoke to are absolutely reluctant to give good prices on cars with any history on the track.
BTW, if you know of anyone who wants to buy a Stradale with 6k miles and
two track days.... please let me know. I don't mind getting $2500 more than what I paid for!!

Private party. From what I've seen, most Stradales have done at least one or two track days - that's what the car was built for, and most owners will at least try a few outings. I'm really surprised at the dealer's attitude.
