Different strokes for different folks. I like the looks of the F355B over the 360 Modena from 3 of the 4 vantage points: front, 1/4, side, and rear; while I like the 360 at 3/4 viewing angle. The F355B is more "boy racer", while the 360 Modena is more "gentleman GT" The sound of the F355 engine is more pure in tonality because it has a single velocity stack tuning per cylinder giving a big "whaaaaaa" at full song. The dual tuning of the F360 inlet tracks builds a much bigger mid-range at some minor cost in engine tonality. The F360 Modena is unquestionably the owner of the chassis dynamics department (at least when set at factory ride height and alignment settings). | ||

I am also going to have to go with the 360. It is just an awesome looking automobile. The view from the back is what really gets me. I have yet to hear one scream in person but from what I hear it's the best sounding one yet. | ||

I didn't like the 360 when it first came out. I loved the 355 from the moment I first saw a picture of one. Seeing the 360 in the flesh has changed my mind slightly. If I could afford it I'd have a 360 as there is no doubt that it's a better car. I still think the 355 looks better though! | ||

IMO, the 355 Berlinetta is prettier than a 355 Spider, but a 360 Spider with the top down is certainly one of the sexiest cars on the road. | ||

To me, the 360 Modena is one of the best looking cars ever made. Particularly in black. I know you guys will lynch me for this, but I think the 355 looks too much like a 348 and has odd proportions as a Spyder. Brian | ||

The F355 sounds better than the F360. I like the looks of both cars though, cant really compare since they're totally different designs. The F360 may be more beautiful, but the F355 just looks mean. As far as Spyder vs. coupe, I'll take the F355 spyder. | ||

F355 is the culmination of the classic "Dino", i.e. 206, 246, 308, 328, 348, 355. Absolutly the most Classic Pinninifaria evolution. IMO, the 360 is for the next gen Ferraristi. Too '90's "melted jelly-bean" look for me and too much of a divergence from the line. I can see what Pinninfarina is "trying" to do with the 360 by taking styling cues from the F50, 550, 575 to keep the "small" Ferrari in the same design character. If I had my druthers, I would have the 360 under the skin of a 355. Hey, but that's just me, who's first taste of Pinninfarina was a '76 Lancia Scorpion way back when (I was 21 and the 246 and 308 was way out of my $$ league). I remember falling in love with the Dino when I saw Tony Curtis drive a 246 in a Summer TV replacement show called "The Persuaders" where he buddied up with Rodger Moore who drove an Aston DBS. I simply cannot identify with the 360. btw, picked up my first Ferrari last July...an F355 Jeff Davison | ||

F355 Berlinetta is the most beautiful V8 Ferrari in my eyes. Also the sound of F355 is simply the best. I think way better than the sound of modena. However, if I can afford 360 Spider, then it's different story. I would choose 360 spider over 355 spider. | ||

I like the sport ones... http://www.ferrari.com/ferrari/images/360_modena/780x490/detail_raceseat.jpg Those. But I like them in black w/ red stiching... Like the Digi-Tech Spider in the latest Forza. But I've only driven a 360 with the normal seats... and different color stiching. The Daytona seats sure look nice though... | ||

The 355 coupe is more attractive than the 355 spider, in my eyes. Had I not driven the two, I'd probably pick the 355 coupe over the 360. Once I drove the both of them, though, the sound that the 360 made blew all the positives of the 355 out of the water. What a gorgeous sound! | ||

I see you like your Dinos. ;) I think the 360 is superior, but the F355 is just as beautiful. However, the 360 Modena is just more exciting IMHO... | ||

My name is Albert, I am spanish and is the first time that I write here. I love the 355 and the modena. The 355 is more beautifull at the first view, but the modena is the prefer ferrari for me. The sound is more exciting in the 355 at the low revolutions, but in the red zone the medena is more exciting than the 355 at 8000 revolutions. The modena is the dino 246 30 year later. What is your opinions? |
