    The steering in the 355 feels very similar to my 550, light accurate but lacking feel.

    Just realized something. The 348 comes with a smaller diameter steering wheel. Just remembered the stock 355 steering wheel is huge and feels like youre steering a boat. I changed it out as quick as I could to a 288 GTO Ferrari Momo steering, which should be the same diameter as the one on the 348. Night and day difference.

    Hi J360M your votes to this list of cars is very interesting !!!
    I’m a Ferrari Guy but I’m surprised by very low votes in driving qualiy to P. 997.2 pdk
    Of corse Ferrari are more emozional cars,
    But in the Nordshleife track of Nurburgring
    997.S is by far more quick of the Ferrsri cars of your list ...And so I was thinking it was also nice to drive the 997.s or 997-4S...
    I understand that for you it’ s not ... and I wonder if anyone has a different opinion ?
    I ‘ m near to decide to buy a 997-4S pdk to put near Ferraris, but your low votes make me afraid to make a mistake .... help please ! ! Ciao!

    Hi Alessio, the 997S Gen2 is a VERY capable car. It’s fast, reliable and solid - it’s just a bit boring after a while. It would be the perfect daily (but with kids etc I need a bigger daily) so it was always going to be my 2nd car for the sunny weekends. The transition from my current daily to the 997 at the weekend just wasn’t special enough... enter Ferrari!

    You mean the Competitzione, maybe? The Serie Speciale was offered only in the US.

    I would think his vote has merit since he has owned both?

    Yeah, F1 above a manual in laid back driving, fun factor, and comfort? I don’t think so.

    I've owned all three. Each was quite different but I enjoyed plenty of track time in all. Overall, I probably miss the 355 the most.

    It's a forum. It's one mans opinion on three cars he actually has owned.

    The “it’s slipping is my PIS set right?” And flashing F1 light and the car won’t go into gear and drive are both $1200 options BtW.

    Oh and the BAT listing.. he also bid a Porsche into the stratosphere as well but didn’t win it..

    Not a Porsche valuation expert, but comments were saying the Porsche should've fetched $10-20k more.

    The people making those comments were more than able to click the bid button...

    but they never do. And that summarizes how much those opinions really matter. :)

    I guess the only thing that matters is how much it sold for ;)

    How much is “Idiotic robot burns out clutch twice as fast as you would have done if you had a pedal for it” option?

    Most likely. I can't imagine slogging though a gated shifter with stretchy cables that feels like it's 40 year old engineering in a modern day Ferrari from this century.

    To add, I have driven a 3 pedal 360 as well as numerous stick 911's (now that's a stick shift I can live with).
    But I also dumped my flip phone in favor of an IPhone years ago and my rotary dial phone, way, way before that-- despite nothing ever went wrong with it and it was low maintenance.

    And for the record, When I started shopping for my 360 a 3 pedal car was my first choice-- until I drove one.

    I have a PDK 911, I've tried really really hard to find a way to enjoy the flappy paddles for years and I just can't.

    Absolutely agree. Never would opt for a PDK when the 911's steel shaft / universal joint shifter is still available. Positive shifts, no slop, very short throws. All good. Especially on the track.
    Some marques do better than others in different arenas.

    Correct and PDK blows away the F1 and still bores me. Yes I’ve taken it to the track.

    Curious, in your mind exactly how does the PDK blow away the F1? I get fast hard shifts and rev matching. Frankly can't see how it could be any better. Early TCU, then yes. Latest CS TCU... kinda hard to fault. After all Ferrari chose the F1 for their flagship "performance/track" version the CS.

    All 911s today, stick or PDK, kinda bore me. Precisely why I got into a Ferrari.

    ? Why did Ferrari go to a similar double-clutch system and not stick with the superior F1?
