    There will always be a more advanced model. My 2001 Modena is way faster than my previous 1982 308. The 430 replacement will be better yet. "love the one your with"

    Good thread...people forget that is was just a few years ago the 360 spider was the hot, selling for $300k on the used market and rekindling the Ferrari gray market craze....the car sounds great, esp with tubi- capristo and handles amazingly well...no doubt the 430 is faster, better handling and has a stiffer chassis...also the 430 has a much nicer interior and much improved F1 tranny...the single big draw back to the 360 is the lack of torque...but then again if it forces you to rev the car like a F1 driver, then maybe its not such a draw back afterall...........

    I'd love to get together sometime Arnie- the weathers turning so we should have lots of opportunities. Have you seen the Clevelend cars/coffee thread on the Northcentral thread? We could meet at my house in Bath (right off 77) and head up if anyone interested. I'll sent you a PM

    I like the classic lines and simple interior and the fact that you can choose to go to the torque point 5k+ or cruise in a low key/shift at 4,500, tease them as to what it will do and if they don't like it scream at them with 7k. car looks good from a number of angles, hints of old and new blended seamlessly to make the 360; 430 is stronger, technically superior, but more space ship, more machine, faster, stiffer better radio, but give me my damed beautiful classic-broughte forward 360, and let those 430 robobots out run us on the 1/4 mile. we swill still be here feeling asphalt and pleasing kids, ------viva the 360 and all its beauty and understated charm.

    Amen to all the 360 praise above!

    My '02 F1 coupe has been a fantastic car -- completely reliable and a joy to drive under all circumstances. No problems whatsoever with routine maintenance and a show-stopper wherever I go. Even with the recent stock market boyancy, my 360 has still been a better investment than real estate or stocks.

    What's not to like?

    +1. For that reason, I'm not considering the F430 or Scuderia. Got my 360M to enjoy driving it - the looks and performance does it for me. Next up, I would consider the CS or wait for the 458 Italia (which to me, takes back the curvaceous lines of the 360).

    ok here is my opinion... money is object... got my 2002 F360F1 Spider with 17,000 miles last summer... and guess what? i drove it and enjoyed every moment: 21,000 miles in one year !!! When i thought of selling it to upgrade to an F430, i did not see the need to put 70k$ more.... honestly and according to my wife, the looks of the 360 and the curves are sexier :)

    For those who are saving the miles to save on the depreciation: Go buy a poster... Life is Short!

    I stopped short of posting cause every time I would browse the forum , there was always
    threads with naysayers on the 360. Whether it was looking outdated, or too slow etc...
    I was almost discouraged that I got into a modern F-car. But my wife keeps reminding me
    that my 360 coupe is sexy as all hell and nothing I've shown her except a 550 (which she thought was a copy of the 360) would sway her from the 360. I think the 360 is a beautifully shaped form of art. The car has answered all my dreams when I was a kid growing up hoping one day to own such a car. And maybe there are better cars out there, but I would not know better and frankly I could not care less cause I love my car. I get goosebumps whenever I start her up and the Tubi's are just intoxicating!! I've made her unique to me w/ custom wheels and CF air boxes and I am having a blast waking the cows
    when I drive through farm areas on twisty roads... So amen to all you 360 lovers...Treat her right and she'll give you the ride of your life!!

    Cheers

    I still have a vivid memory of watching someone driving a yellow 360 in the rain in Upland Ca. four years ago. He was driving south on Mountain avenue. The engine was singing and the spray from the tires was fanning up behind the car. Man what a beautiful sight!

    I hated my F1 360 and was delighted to get rid of it - although I dropped £23,000 over 1,500 miles. Grossly over rated in my view.

    I just chose between a 360 and a 430 in the used market. The difference is down to 30-40k. I think the 360 is a far better looking car than the 430 and with where I live does the difference in performance really matter?!? IMHO, the 360 is the finest looking car Ferrari has made in a long, long time and at current prices, it is a relative steal.

    My car is a 2003 with 9,100 miles and by next year it will have at least double that!!!

    I'm curious-- was it the F1 gearbox you hated or the car itself?
    What did you hate about it?
    What car do you have that you like better?

    while i do like the smoother lines of the 360, the 430 is a much better performing vehicle. the 430 requires less maintenance and the updated F-1 transmission is vastly superior. also, no tubi exhaust is required on the 430.

    I didn't like the F1 transmission. I didn't like the sports seats and I had the front suspension rebuilt twice and it still rattled like hell over all but the smoothest roads.

    Seems like we all agree to love the same car for the same reasons. ;)

    The 360 for me is a supermodel. The 430 from a purely aesthetic standpoint is a supermodel with tattoos. Still beautiful but with a lot of unnecessary additions and changes. None of which seem to up my enjoyment of the driving experience.
