    Anyone ever own both of these vehicles? Any comments on which you like better and why?

    Apples and oranges. 4 seat front engine V12, 2 seat mid engine V8... I say get BOTH of them!

    Correct, but let me put it another way: Jessica Simpson or Angelina Jolie? Totally different in most every way, but you can't really go wrong with either of them.

    I'm assuming the 360 is Jessica Simpson (but now with all that extra weight, maybe you meant the 456)? And, IMHO, you CAN go wrong with Jessica Simpson.

    I just got out of my 456MGT. It is the car I love the most and identify with the most. I am 51 and married and love the comfort and torque. It is a gents express and is sophisticated and very elegant.

    I have a 360 F1 for the other experience. It is a true sports car. It sits much lower and with the F1 it is a dream on the track or just about any time for that matter.

    These are completely different drivers cars and you have to drive them to see for yourself which you prefer. I think that the younger a person is the more likely they will be to gravitate to the 360. The more mature will favor the 456. There is no bad choice here.

    Or, the younger will go for Jessica Alba and the more mature will go for Jane Seymore. Again, no bad pick either way.

    The answer is 550M. Jeckel and hyde for quiet comfort cruising but with a race history in a streetcar that can be made race ready. And a 355 btw is far from light while it is pretty nimble. And the 456 can be made into more than a oldman's crusier. There is much untapped power and many pounds that it does not need. You could surprise many 8cylinders and still have the kid seat in the back.
