    the saddest part about 360/430's for me is that i spend 90% of the time that it takes to go by trying to figger out whether it's a 360 or 430, and only 10% of the time enjoying the view. :(

    dammit i wish the 430 looked more differenterer. (i do the same thing with porsches...)

    exactly! it's inexcusable that ferrari just massaged an existing design for a car that is really a huge leap forward.

    bah!

    u could never mistake one for the other surely! those big gaping holes at the front of the 430, the more slender lights, the 'baby enzo' tail.....

    other than having ~100bhp more than a 360... what makes it a huge leap anywhere?

    yeah but you're talking *details* !!!! i can see that as soon as it's close enough, or if i'm looking at one parked at a cafe... i'm talking about seeing them passing by in traffic where i love to see exotics the most. a testarossa, i can pick that 2 miles away, same with a 308, *any* lamborghini, and even a 550 once it gets close enough to notice it's not a supra.

    overall they (360/430) look too similar at-a-glance-at-speed, which honestly is the worst thing you want for a breakout sportscar, because really, it *is* a big leap beyond the 360.

    um....after reading the above posts i'm not sure if this is still the Ferrari spotters thread :confused::confused::confused:

    i spotted a black 355 spider (i think- there was not much street light) parked with the top down on Currie St near Light Sq about 12 30am

    i'm no authority on adelaide exotics but i only know of a couple 355sp's.... black lived on ward st north adel for a while, tubi exhaust, orgasmic sound. another black lives at henley beach, and a dark blue is "somewhere between glenelg and city".

    oh, and there's a bunch of red ones around too but meh, who cares. :p

    hmm....... tick tick tick....... nah don't know any. i only know three 348's here, all red, 1 tb and 2 ts's.

    but the main point is you've gone from possibly a black 355 spider to a blue 348.....?


    ooh hang on, yeah i checked out a blue 348TS a couple years ago at prestige (the *other* one) but was really disappointed with the interior, the stoopid clicky buttons were such a backward step from the aluminium dash with aircraft toggles of the 308.

    fookin sexy car... not sure blue is the right colour for a 348, sadly i've only seen red on the road.
