    for those of youwho have driven both the 360 spider and coupe, is there a noticalble performance difference between the two cars?..the coupe does feel more rigid over rough roads, but the acceleration seemed the same as the did the handling...perhaps on a tract there would be a slight difference in hanlding? your expert opinions and thoughs..sorry about the spelling! i never could spell!

    There is no noticable difference in performance - there is a little in the handling but not much

    My coupe was a '99 and I sware it was faster then my '03 Spider. Its also had a very loud vroom on start up that was missing on the Spider. I would suspect that it had loser emissions then the 2003 but the weight of the Spider could be felt imho.

    There is definitely a difference on the track. Unlikely that you'd notice anything in day to day street driving, both have performance levels so far above what you'd max out on the street (unless you're ready to go to jail) that they are essentially identical.

    IMO there is no difference.

    Sure enough my 02 360 spider's F1 is a lot smoother than my 00 360 coupe's F1
