    Ok so I started with a 308 then a 348 then a 355 spider then a 360 spider then a 360 challenge stradale.......guess what?????

    Im going full circle and back to looking at a 355 Berlinetta F1

    Theres nothing like a raw raw 355 IMHO.

    Has anybody else done the 360 degree spin?

    Ya Ya 5k every 5 yrs isg for belts........who cares!........you can't beat the screaming 355.

    Nice choice! Drove a couple 360s prior to getting the 355 and was just not impressed. Nice choice!

    Good Move! Nothing like an F1, especially GTB or GTS ;)

    Have not done the 360 degree and as more posts like this come along I think I am sticking to the never sell category and just buy some new ones instead.

    My newborn just bought a new 458. I really like it but he was the first one to say to me He wished his sounded like mine. I do have the cappy stage 3 though.

    Wouldn't that be a 180 degree spin?

    full circle is 360
    so going back to the middle car out of 5 I assume would be 180

    Hey Matt congrats on the 360......did you sell my old 348 or are you keeping her?

    The 355 is obviously the best Ferrari ever!

    well all I can say is Ive owned 6 F-cars including a Stradale and Im back to a 355....

    I will however admit that the 355's price point is better for me now than the CS. 160k vs 80k ish for excellent examples of each.
    The only huge difference is $1500 vs $5k for belt services but if you can't budget 5k over 5 years you have no business playing.

    Interesting and encouraging move. At some point, one has to ask if the CS is twice the fun at twice the price point. Choice also depends on what moves you. In my case, the 355 does the trick better than the 360.

    In terms of service costs, I'd be interested to see an overall comparison of both models beyond just the timing belt service. When I was considering various Challenge cars, I thought the 355 was more reasonable than either the 360 or the 430 to run at the track.

    Anyway, congrats!
