    Nothing compares to rowing through the 6MT gears in a Modena with the valves open on a Stradale muffler. But alas, creature comforts and evolving technology in an Italia have compelled me to move up the food chain. As you can tell, I am not into an over-spec’ed Ferrari … just black-black coupes with yellow calipers. :) There is a difference though, the 360 is Nero and the 458 is Nero Daytona. ;)

    On the 360 / 430 forum, there are countless debates of which model is better, even further debated which is the better transmission, the 6MT or the F1. By no means is it justified to try a comparison of the 360 and the 458. To the question above, I like them the same, but each in different aspects.

    I seriously considered keeping both, but my conundrum was which would I drive more often. I know myself well enough to know that as I would be pulling into the driveway after driving one, I would immediately want to compare (perhaps even go back out for a drive) the other. In the end I would have two Ferraris but really needing only one, sadly but for good reason, the Modena is replaced with the Italia.

    Very nice, Andy! I'm a sucker for non-Rosso Ferraris. Beautifully specs on both.

    Enjoy in good health!

    Kind regards,

    Nuno.

    Will you still talk to me even though I have a lowly Modena???

    JK Andy....great car! Got anymore details on it...year, interior, etc.

    Profiles are almost the same.....maybe if I found a rosso fiorano/cuoio 458....I could sneak one past Gayle......

    Basic black interior … no carbon fiber driving zone, which is how I like it.

    LED steering wheel.

    Yellow stitching on the dashboard and seats, with the yellow horsey on the headrest.

    I had a 360 that I traded for a 458. Quite a leap but nowhere near the difference when I traded my TR for the 458
