    I would take a 360 over a 355 any day ... so long as it was a Novitec version. :)

    Otherwise a goth-stooge modified 1995 2.7 GTB is way preferred!!! (In nero, of course) ;)

    I can understand we're your coming from, but me as a young child the latest and greatest pop ups were the rage. For being around for all the headlight curviture design transitions, I truly like the era of the 355 as well as it's pop up light, rounded box curve style bodyas was the style of the 90's. But in all reality, the sound of 355 (especially with some test pipes and a kreisegge SP?) is truly a unique classic. Thats what does it for me.

    I reckons wheels make or break the appearance of most cars, not so much the headlights. :D:D

    yes I am serious ....................... so I take it because the F40 has 'pop-up headlights' it "breaks the appearance" of it as a beautiful vehicle??? .............. :rolleyes:

    using the "headlights can make or break the appearance of virtually any vehicle" logic ............. would make the 360 completely hideous compared to the F430 ................. :eek:

    So yes ............... I stand by what I said ............... excepting women ................ headlights do not play a huge part in overall appearance ........... ;)

    I'd like to see this from the other end and see if it is equipped with the gas filler under the plate.

    I never said anything about pop-up head lights looking bad... I was just simply commenting on your original comment that headlights don't make that big of a difference, to which I respectfully disagree (my humble opinion of course). Just to clarify... I love the look of both the F40 and the 355 and nothing could make them look better :D

    Not exactly as the 355 is a 5 valve per cylinder and the 360 is a 4 valve, the 355 has an extra exhaust valve.

    One could get close but the 355's intake track is sound partly responsible for the great sound as well ...... :)

    :D

    No worries ........ it was my opinion as well ........ ;)
