Dr. Shelbee,

They are very stiff, but they keep you tight specially on corners. My seat size medium. Your could be large size , so they seem wider. Great detail of stripes on them. I could not get any other way, but size or color combination. I think the modular wheels makes car look much better and well worth extra (my opinion).
Thanx for kind words.

Spivy,

I have sat on those 360's sports seats. They are firmer than the ones for 550. As you can see they are thinner. I love the fact that it has aluminum ring around the holes for seat belts. Unlike mine, just straight leather, so the seat belts sometimes leave black marking on the tan leathers. They start putting the aluminum ring on the sports seats for 550 barchetta (standard) and 575M (optional).

I love your 18" Modular wheels. I don't like 18" Modular wheels for 550 (like the one for Barchetta). But I like 19" Modular wheels for 575M or even standard 18" 575M wheels that both will fit on the 550.

Spivy-Your 360 is gorgeous especially with the sports seats and wheels (Scaglietti?).

Matt, yes it comes with the carbon fiber sports seats, a $ 4,500 option. These seats really turned me on when I saw the car for the first time at the web-site. They looked better when I saw the car up close.

I agree with you Tom, did you hear that Kuzi??

You won't own the car forever and there will be a newer one you can purchase with newer model, faster, sleeker, and more advance tech. Might well enjoy it before you trade it in :-)

I drive mine everyday so I really have no choice. Sometimes it can be a drag but it's o.k.

I am not particularly interested in driving the F-car in the rain as in most cases it means TRAFFIC JAM or SLOWWWW TRAFFIC!!! in town.

Yes Doc that is a nice rear shot of your maranello. It sure is a spectacular ride. I'm going to think really hard now about keeping my Turbo S:-))

If my office garage is indoor, hidden from my clients and gated, I would have driven my Ferrari everyday :-)

Thanks Kuziman for the photos

Those are not snow balls but just water. Red caliper stick out nicely while the wheel is turning.
