F355 or Diablo???
Discussion
355 is easier to live with day to day.....(not that i have a lot of experience of the diablo i give you) but diablo is awesome...however...very big and unwieldy to a novice.....355 ultimately more fun as you can take greater risks as it is so 'chuckable' i seriously would not want to get a diablo out of shape....for a long drive around europe i think you would find (if you did it in both) that the 355 is easier to deal with and more 'practical'....however...i still yearn for a lambo albeit a murcielago rather than the diablo....something about the diablo that is not as aesthetically pleasing as the 355....just my own opinion.....i think the 355 will be easierr to shift £ for £ too after you have had enough
You've made up your mind, so enjoy. 355 is a great car.
However it is NOT as chuckable as a Diablo, believe me.
When entering high speed corners, especially on track,
there a lot of weight transfer to the front because of the suspension set up being oriented to understeer
and this cause a rather disconcerting lightness in the rear end. There is also, relatively of course, a lot of body roll. Compared to the Diablo the engine does not know about torque and even though its very fast it doesn't feel very fast. But it is much easier to drive around town. But on the Autostrada type roads the Diablo is the superior machine. Personally I also prefer the engine note. Anyway... Have fun with it.
