360 vs. Stradale

Own you car...don't let it own you!

I'd say reconcile yourself to putting the miles on the CS before you consider really doing it!

Otherwise just keep the one you have and drive as much as you like!

 

Jeffrey does 6 speed versus F1 matter to you?

The CS is a great car, but I agree with Darth. If you are worried about mileage, not even worth owning the car. Just my .02

 

yup

 

When you got your 360 you most likely tried to keep the miles down too. That goes away as you get your first rock chips and all that jazz.

Look deep inside yourself and seek out the red lights and green lights. Gentle hints give the best answer.

Or...ask the real boss: Jennifer

(just joking Jennifer!)

 

Challenge Stradale I say

Jeffrey, I like your 360 (Giallo Modena). I love that painted rear defusser, gives that lower/aggressive stance from the back...

Bhane

 

Its just a car. If you're worried about putting milage on it, don't buy it. Get the poster instead.

 

Stradale is in good taste. Tell yourself whatever you need to.
The Challenge car is hot!!!

Not unless you've got $$ burning a hole in your pocket, just hold out for a 430. Personally I'd miss the finished feel, leather etc. of the 360. As an added car to the stable, now that's a different story

 

Jedi mind trick....

"Less is more.....less is more...."

 

Jeffrey, I did the exact same thing.... I had yellow 360 sold and bought a yellow CS. I havent regreted it for a second!!! I will say, knowing the 430 was going to be out in a couple of months and i could get one for about the same $$$ made it a tough decision, but I can also tell you i have NO intentions on trading the CS for a 430. Im sure the 430 is great! But the CS is a wonderful/exciting and believe it or not MORE comfortable than my previous 360. Good Luck!! let us know what you decide.

 

stradle for me

 

No offense to 360 owners, but while a nice car, it just never "did it" for me. I even drove a coupe w/F1, wasn't impressed.

However, after riding in Kevin's spyder (I'm a whore for a convertible), I really liked the car. I guess just not a coupe for me....but wait, I rode in Joe's Stradale. Damn, if I had to choose, I swear, it'd be *really* tough. I like how barren the interior of the CS is, but it looks clean. And the suspension, fantastic (CS).

Tough call....wait for a 430CS, the 360CS will drop like a rock (well, a crumbling rock)

 

Hmmm tough call Jeffrey. If you ever gave me a ride on the 360, I might be able to form an opinion!! I have never even been in a 360.

I would vote for the Stradale. I love the car..... But ya got to drive it. I'm selective where I drive the TR, but I still managed to put 3k miles on it this year. Don't get the Stradale if you are going to drive it even less than that.

 

The stradale is a driving car! I cant see you sitting on that very long. You will find yourself staring into the garage..........then you will lose control and be all about town!!

But seriously. If there is a 430 CS coming out. Wait for the prices to drop a little on the current CSs or wait for winter to buy.

I went to see the previews on the new 430 spider and modena, I must say I wish I had some of the features of the newer models. But I like the lines of our cars!!!


Im waiting for prices to drop on th F50

I wish i could make that decision.... and if i could, i would go for the Stradale in a second.

 

I decided against it as I could not justify the $100K difference between the trade-in value of my 00 360F1 and a new CS (out the door). I drove the CS both on the street and on the track. It is a magnificient machine but definitely not worth the difference UNLESS you go to the track once a month or more (bragging right aside). Two of my buddies did it (traded their 360 for a CS) and they have yet to enjoy the CS on the track after a few months of ownership.

 

Hmmmm... I think you anwered your own question.
Let's look at it another way..... Jennifer, don't read this.....
Would you rather live with a girl that is an 8 everyday, or date a high maintenence 10 only on the weekends????

Your call,
Rick

 

without a doubt, pick the stradale, quaranteed adrenalin rush. the 430 will be faster, but without the nervousness of the stradale.

 

Yes for sure, watch out for those chicks with dicks

 

Yup, hope CS prices drop sometime soon... What is the average donwpayment would you need on a pre-own CS anyways?

Thanks

 

80-100K is a lot of dough for the differences between a regular 360 and a 360CS. You could easily modify your 360 to similar performance levels for a fraction of that. I'm assuming that if your worried about milage here and there that 80K isn't exactly pennies to you. Just remmeber if your paying 80-100K more for that car it has to give you 80-100K more worth of pleasure. There are so many other cool automotive toys you could buy for 80K to compliment your 360, that you could enjoy your 360 and enjoy something else and spend lots of time in. You could build yourself a mumford style viper and track that without worrying about things like milage, rock chips, etc...run faster lap times, and just have a blast at the track. Also I've seen earlier model Diablo's go for ~120k so you could have a drasticially different type of car to enjoy to compliment your 360. There are so many options... I just don't see the 360CS being different enough from the 360 to justify the price difference. Thats what I would do, unless I was on unlimited budget and 80-100k didn't mean much to me.

 

What Up Dub?

You know where I stand .... S-T-R-A-D-A-L-E !!!

But you HAVE to drive it ... unless your second car will be a GT2 ;-)
