Sweeeet garage 8) How long have you had the 355 and 360 :question:

 

[Alexpapas]

Toys

I bought the 355 four years ago, the 360 arrived in Apr 2001 (after a 19 month wait on the dealer's list) and the Dino was a Barret Jackson 2001 find

 

[Tifoso_Boy]

Thanks Alex,

So you had to wait 19 months for the Modena ha:

 

[Alexpapas]

360 wait

I was pretty lucky. I ordered before the interest in 360's really grew to insane levels. There are still guys on the Scottsdale Ferrari list for Spyders out 6 years at current delivery rates ( and over 2 years for Modenas)

Re: 360 wait

There are still guys on the Scottsdale Ferrari list for Spyders out 6 years at current delivery rates ( and over 2 years for Modenas)

So that means that by the time those guys take delivery, the 360 will have gone through a 'modification'....

360

Here's the interesting point. The 360 will be replaced. Some dealers will transfer those who did not get a car during its production run to the list for the successor model. Other dealers will have already started a separate list for the new model. Where do you stand.? A question for lawyers.

Some dealers are plain ol' scumbags and will modify their list at their whim. The only way around this is to ensure your contract spells out exactly where you are at the time of giving your deposit and where you will stand if you move to the new model list due to the end of the model run.

 

[Tifoso_Boy]

I have a feeling that some people are going to be left high and dry

Lovely cars, Alex!

A typical american answer, leave it to the lawyers

But i agree, that it's an interesting point.
But if you desperatly want a Modena you can always go with a used one

Yeah, just like that row over Euro spec cars they had over here not to long ago.... :roll:

Sweet!

Alex, please tell me about your 360 and 355. How do they compare? Is the 360 more than just a beautiful shape, does it also outperform the 355 considerably or is it just a evolution in your view. I'd love to hear your thoughts.

thanks!
Tom

360 v 355

The 360 is an evolution of the 355 and is better all round physically. Bigger inside, faster on the road and track, more curvaceous and on and on...
Here's my dislikes. It sounds quieter ( due to stricter noise regs). it feels too smooth, it has problems with electrical components, especially the catalytic's electronics due to being all aluminum and not having a good grounding point, the fuel guage never reads more than half, even when full and it feels bigger to drive. The standard horn is a Buick sounding abomination (which was promptly replaced by real FIAAM air horns) and it's easy enough for my wife to drive.

My kids think it's a poseur car and they would rather go in the 355 anytime.

I enjoy them both and they are both starters in the rotation, kinda like Randy Johnson (355) and Curt Schilling (360)

 

[Tom from Silicon Valley]

Thanks!

So the kids think it's a poseur...wow...you've got some hardcore tifosi living with you. haha

But unlike those two, the 355 and 360 probably won't go on strike....... :roll:

Alex,

Wonderful. Just wonderful...I just proposed a deal with my wife about our new home. She decorates the house and I'll do the garage. Thank you for setting the standard. I won't say that my GTB will have the same company as your cars do!!

Forza,

Dane
