    Spot on. I fancy one of those ultra unreliable 250 GTO's. They must be Sh1te though, cos you don't see many on the road.

    Not really Beau, there was 'nothing' testing about the 355, only the fact of whether it would start or not.

    Racing my Cs on mountain roads abroad, that was testing. 200mph in my CS that was testing. Spinning my 360 on a track at 100mph that was testing..

    Back to the dictionary for "testing" I guess. In the meantime, with all those state-of the-art electronic driver aids, it would be interesting to learn of your lap times around say, Mallory Park. I wonder what the benefits would be over a standard 328 GTB @ 54.2 secs ? It's always useful to put investments into context with tangible facts.

    Ferrari have proven over time that they can very easily sell every car they make. And they make more cars not because they are better made, but because they want more cash.
    IMO if ferrari was to make substandard cars/supercars compared to other marques in its class, they could and would still sell every one. Due to the little horse badge on the nose.....Hey hang on ferrari do make substandard cars compared to other marques in there class:D

    I agree. Give the "new" bottom of the line F-cars some time to self decompose like all the rest. The Factory uses the new "entry level" buyers money to finance racing and development of the limited issue F-cars ;) Though it is quite nice that the 360/430 guys share their greatness with others ;)

    Yep - that's how you lose a litre of body fluid in 20 mins and push yourself within. Horses for courses. Off to The Ministry tonight for more fluid loss, while I still can !

    Total World production of 360's

    Coupes Total - 10,000
    Standard Coupes - 8,500
    Challenge Stradales- 1,200
    Race Cars – 300
    Spiders - 7,500

    Total: 17,500 (over 5 years)

    ----------------------------------------------------------
    ----------------------------------------------------------

    Total World production of 355's

    F355 B = 4,915
    F355 GTS = 2,577
    F355 Spider = 3,714

    Total 11,206

    ----------------------------------------------------------
    ----------------------------------------------------------

    TOTAL WORLD PRODUCTION of 348

    348 - TB 2,895
    348 - TS 4,230
    Spiders – 1090

    Total: 8,215


    So in summary.....

    360's = 17,500

    355's = 11,206

    348 = 8,215

    Who wants to bet that 430 production will be bigger than the 360!! :D

    In London, 360/430's are so common they are like buses.... :D



    zzzzzzzzzzzzzz.................

    Another person who's never properly driven a 348 talking crap. :D


    There were 3 year waiting lists during a worldwide recession. Hardly a flop. Plus, if you read any reviews of the 348 at that time you'll see that it was highly regarded.

    Makes me think, I should hold on to my 348, even if I do pick up a 550.
    With number like that, you know the history of Ferrari's, the less the number (on most models) the more they go up in value. That's it am not driving this investment anymore. Keeping it locked up in the garage :) LOL
