360 Spider - *sigh*
Discussion
I too absolutely love the 360 Spider. Just gorgeous.
Can't have one though. Not only are they expensive but the budget is required for something else in the automotive line...just got to get saving now!
Hmmmn. Anyone need my Timesheeting software? All proceeds to a very worthy cause.

Don.
You can't say something like that around here without the rest of us not being able to sleep at night pondering your future purchase. Give us a clue.

Really, Squire?
Could you seriously trade the immediacy of the current beastie for that awesome, yet cultured, 8500 rpm banshee siren call? (When a lowly VX220 Turbo can trade blows in the give & take of real world B-road blats - according to EVO this month...)
Yes, I thought so!
Don't you think you're just coming to the inevitable conclusion of any vastly well heeled PHer, that a fine slice of Modenese cheese becomes irresistable with age, like a fine claret or successful stud? (Steady.)
Don't you fancy an Ultima GTR though? Ridiculously quick; full NASCAR soundtrack; looks to slay and a price ticket just this side of "should I donate my eternal soul to Beelzebub" reasonable.
I'm sure you could find a place in your commodious automotive sanctuary?
Anyway, what'd be wrong with an F355 Spider? Ok, moderately down on grunt but so what? The boys from Manu Central will reassure you as to the acoustic merits and style wise...is it not the epoch-making crescendo of Pininfarina's lineage?

de-cat, de-cat, de-cat, de-cat!!!!! woooohooooooo.....
'HYPER-PERVERTS' (that's Ninja btw, becuase Basher = mega pervert, Rich = mild-pervert) Tubi has been despatched for fitting... I'm personally collecting the car post fitment while he is abroad and breaking it in for him.. aren't I?????
Edited to say - there is sooo much room for ambiguity in what I've just said so leave it out - friggin perves....

Something Newton forgot to mention:
Ferrari + Eurobollox regulation = Must get Decatted Tubi.
Charlie having heard Bernard & Basher's 355s and Richs "halfway" 360, you won't be dissappointed.

For me it's the sheer looks of the 360S - it could have a Mondeo engine in it for all I care. I seriously can't get on with the Ultima looks - and Nick doesn't like the look of them either so it's a no go.

For me the shape and presence is at least 75% of the equation...

Nah - just not in the same league - the F355S looks just like a "chopped" 355 - and not a very good chop at that - where as the 360S just looks as though it was designed as a spider from the word go....

Those who know me know I am not full of sh*t so I am happy to say what I am going to say (Manu shut up !!)
I was going to buy a 360 spider but after having one for the weekend in all the right colours for me (red crema and black carpets) It was stunning I agree - until you stood either directly in front of it (when it looked to wide and scooped like a shovel rather than a dart) and those front lights really do not do it for me and from the side there was not really a line as such - it was all very fussy with the back being far higher than the front and it all looked a little odd.....in black I think it is far far better but I am not a lover of dark cars - the rest of it - the interior the drivers posn the engine (and that fabulous glass panel) are marvellous but at 50k over the 355 spider I decided I was not convinceed enough....
and a 355 still sounds better
maybe it will grow on me over the next couple of years (esp as prices come back to earth rather than dealer stratosphere at the moment)- but it will have to be black i think
