The 360 is on my to-do list. You've not put me off.

Any maintenance headaches during your ownership ?

Not on my list. Look awful and are slow. Plus I need 50k to not improve on my Boxster and in fact lose out.

Slower than a Boxster ? Surely not ?

This would be in addition to the 911 & Vantage, not instead of...

A bit like a few other cars of that vintage, the looks have really grown on me over the years and I think it’s a stunner now. It’s interesting to read about how (relatively) useable it is too.

Ps: longer sentences please :lol:

Blue, tan leather, and manual is the perfect spec for them as far as I'm concerned 8-)

I'm not Rich b shorts or anyone else on here but look for yourself. Similar to 60, weren't that quick. Happy for you to prove me wrong.

Which metric were you using when you said "slower" ? First hit on Google and using the same site for both:

360 quoted as 4.0s 0-60

http://accelerationtimes.com/models/ferrari-360-modena

Boxster is 6.1s

http://accelerationtimes.com/models/porsche-boxster


That's a huge difference.

Ah, I didn’t realise yours was a Spider !

How about you go and check, seeing as you’re trolling as usual 😂

Absolutely loved the one I drove, did load of miles in it, cruised gently, thrashed on the best roads in the country and would buy one if I were able.

Sounds great, front end was lovely and there was enough power to be fun but very manageable. It’s not over-Tyred and the engine feels incredibly special.

The F1 box was so easy to manage aswell, just a gentle lift and it was incredibly smooth.

Whoever has one, I’m very jealous.

Dave!

I've had pizza. 360s aren't quicker round a track. Check, I'm too drunk, and lazy, and indifferent. The spelling and punctuation is on point.

I agree. It's aged better than the red, too.

I’ve never understood the lack of love for these, I think they look great, albeit you can see that they’re a tentative step design-wise between the 355 and 430.
Cheers,

Mike.

I think it was a bit of an ugly duckling compared to the 355 but prevailing design trends have improved it in hindsight.

I thought it looked like an egg when it first came out but I quite like them now.

The Spider and CS are both better looking than the basic coupe though.
An absolute unit
