    360 Challenge can be bought for around $100k in the US. Not sure if you can import one ?

    yes you can inport/export them here in the US without issue. Just takes some paperwork

    I saw what I thought to be one of the best 360 Challenge cars out there recently sold by a Ferrari dealer with an asking price of $110k including spares. They can only be driven off road and are sold with a bill of sale and not a title

    Let me step it up a notch, Is the price difference between a 360 challenge and a 430 challenge extreemly different?

    Thank you. I know they are 2 different cars, but can the 360C hold its own with the 430C on a track. Reason why I am asking is I am looking for a car to race in the Ferrari cup here in Japan. I am sure there will be some 430C's out there. just wondering if there is really a chance or should I just fork out for the 430C. If I do this then buying the CS is out the door.

    The F430C is said to be much easier and forgiving than the 360C which from what i was told was twitchy without the rear wing ( or the NGT package ).
    With equal drivers , the 430 is probably much faster than a 360.

    Ron ( Challenge64 ) or Will ( WCH ) will probably know better as i believed they have owned both.

    Good luck !

    I am finding that ad and price hard to believe on the 06 challenge.... I'm not real educated on the Challenge cars but haven't they always been more expensive than the regular cars? If so, you can't buy an 06 with 2k miles anywhere near 189k. My guess is it's supposed to be 289k... that would make more sense to me.

    Challenge cars were more expensive when new but they devaluate faster than road cars ( much less demand and usability plus a greater chance of being pushed harder ). Dont forget those 2k miles would equal 6k-10k road driven miles if not more..

    I would go 430C the 360C can be had here in the states for low $90k in great condition with limited hours on them. The 360C is not close to the 430C in track performance IMO

    Ive only had the 360 Challenge...I'm kinda shopping for a 430C atm...but might actually take another 360C if I find the right car

    The 360C is a hard car to drive if you are rough with a car. ie..riding curbs, not smooth with throttle/brake transitions. NNO/Carbon McCoy interviewed Michael Louli and what he thought of the 360C & 430C. He prefered the 430C too.
