That thought has often passed my mind. I have a 348 (same raw feeling as a 355), my dream car of aspiration is a 360, but having read much about it I was already of the view that its tamed, arguably too much.

In the 360 a lot has been added but has too much been removed in the process?

I have driven several other Fcars and one lambo, and to me there is no comparason to my 355.I just love the thing, if I ever had to get rid of it I think I,d lay on the floor and cry like a baby.I havent driven a 360 yet, but no matter I would never get rid of my car.

the best thing i can tell you to do is drive a 360 more than once, get a real feel for it. don't misread any of this b/c the 360 is an incredible car and i wouldn't trade it for anything. but there are definite differences - personally, i don't think of the 360 as a progression (not sure if it was suppose to be) of the 355, but just ferrari's new V8. the thing i probably miss the most about the 355 is the pure "raw-ness" of the car. maybe these are the same sentiments people have when comparing a 328 to the 348 or 355... whenever i'm around a TR, it definitely helps me understand why those owners love their cars so much, what a great sound!

for all of you 360 guys that moved "up" from a 355... do you sometimes miss your 355???? i'll probably catch all sorts of flack for this but i often times do. i love the styling of the 360, no comparisons IMHO, but the overall drive of the 355, the engine sound with the tubi, the "small race car" feeling, etc. am i crazy or does anyone else feel the same way? not ragging on the 360 b/c i love it and wouldn't pick another car comparably priced over it, but...
