Drove my first Ferrari 360 Modena today - GoFuckYourself.com

H.I.G · 06-11-2004, 12:08 PM

A friend of mine just bought a new Ferrari 360 spider with the F1 gear box. I drove it for around 40 min this evening. I really loved the car in terms of looks and handling. And I especially love the ultra smooth high revving V8. Didn't like the exhaust sound though - sounded more like a Honda CBR 900

But damn this car is so much fun, especially converted. The thing corners and handles soooo well. I was doing some crazy moves at very psycho speeds. Quite impressive, of course on a straight line my Supra TT is slightly faster. But given the chance I'd dump my car in a heart beat to go for the Modena.

Saving up for one and hopefully I can get my friend to sell me his car by mid next year when he's leaving the country. Getting a good discount and all

Can't wait.

That sounds very nice, do you have any pics?

I declare bullshit, or you didnt go around enough corners, they dont corner well.

From what I've heard, the 360 has far inferior handling to the 355. A friend of mine, an ex-355 owner, test drove the 360 when it first came out and went on about how disappointed he was.

F1 tranny? People actually buy that

nice car!

Do what I do, let your friends buy them first, if he bought that car, in a few months, he is going to want to upgrade and will end up selling you his left overs for half price. I do that with my friends, then my left overs goes to my little brother, then he sells them and makes bank. Go Figure.

Especially if he's got a Supra, I'd imagine it handles well compared to most economy cars though.

Who cares how it drives, good or bad, you got a Ferrarri

I hate people who think like this.

The value of the car should come from more than the logo on the bumper.

nope not at all and that's the way a sports car's supposed to sound.

H.I.G · 06-11-2004, 07:21 PM

You guys should also hear an SL55 AMG that shit is so sweet. The same guy who owns the Ferrari has an SL55 AMG, now that car sounds like a bat out of hell.

Damn now that's what I call a Merc

As far as the ferrari, I would like it to sound a bit more deep and angry. Somehow to me this car sounded more like a fast revving F1 car than a true super car tone. I usually love V8's and never had any complains, but if I do by this Modena first thing I do is change the exhaust profile. Apparently Ferrari makes a 2nd aftermarket exhaust option that sounds a lot more kick ass for the modena.
