I have to agree, the front bumper is abit too much. The rest of the car is okay though.

William, thank God Pinin doesn't agree with you.. I wouldn't have bought my 360 if it still had those ungainly side strakes from the forgettable 80's design fiasco.

That extra large chin is rather useful. More space for sponsors! :-)

Oh no, here we go again. Didnt everyone argure about the 360's looks enough.
So the 360GT was already in a dealer? How come we hear about some cars ferrari builds so soon before their release? If you look at the 575M, i didnt hear about it till last month and its gonna be in dealers in april.

Whatever they are pumping into the AC vents, they must be pumping less of it than in the 80's when Pinin designed those hideous side streaks on the TR...

Becker,

Yeah it was Porsche World not Excellence, I get way too many car magazines! FYI: Ferrari of Washington is having their annual track days in mid-April hope to see you there. My car is number 23.

Regards,

Jon P. Kofod

PS: The challenge car behind your P car in your picture was Jim McCormick's car, which I almost bought but was instead purchased by Rich Liebhaver.

Yes that is me and I'll definitely stop by. My little toy appeared a couple of times in the UK's P-world mag as a reader letter. I've done quite a few events at SP last year and I'm getting quite hungry for track events now, it's just a few weeks away.

Cheers

David,

You are correct the car was built by Michilotto in Italy. Last I heard from Allie and Glen was that they would do two more races with it. But the newsletter stated that they are getting a new chasis from the factory so maybe this car is done.

I was under the impression that the one being used by Ferrari of Washington was actually built by Michelloto in Italy. I think I remember Allie Ash (owner of FoW) mention this at the FCA Christmas Party this past December. FoW's current newsletter says the car will be sold once the endurance racing season is over.

The car at FOW is the 360 that finished 25th at Daytona. The car is not street legal. Rumors floating around the pits was that the engine was making about 440 horsepower.

Becker,

I think I recognize your car (993 C4) from Summit Point and also Excellence Magazine. Were you at the Summit Point FCA event in October? A picture very similar to your profile picture appeared in Porsche Excellence magazine a year ago (I remembered seeing the Challenge car at what looked like turn 5,6,7 at Summit).

If you are that person stop by and say hello. I drive a red/yellow Challenge car #23 (see profile).

Regards,

Jon P. Kofod
