360 Couple of pics of the Modena & 3,000 mile owner check in .

Avid Porsche guy here, bought my 2004 Modena in November to join the Porsche's , first Ferrari experience- I waited till i found a Gated 6 speed manual and found exactly what i was looking for. i was also looking for a "Driven" car not some garage queen with low miles that hasn't been driven and sooner or later all the common issues will still have to pop up on, so i went for what in the "Ferrari World" is considered higher miles, my Modena had 42,000 miles on it, but all services done, including new clutch & exhaust manifold etc..

I've had the car now about 4 months and its mainly been my daily driver, i've put 3,000 miles on it and i've had no issues daily driving it- the car is very forgiving if you take it easy on it- Anyone that says this car isn't suitable for daily driving (in warmer climates) don't know what they are talking about- I have the Challenge exhaust on it (valves rigged open) and its still civilized. I must say i'm super impressed with the car and love driving it.

The 360 still has a bit of that modern classic analog feel (especially that mine is a manual) so for me its exactly what i wanted. The car has been trouble free so far, i really have no complaints..its a great addition to the Porsches (Porsche being my #1 choice of course) i actually didn't think i'd keep the car this long, and i've had a few great offers from people that know me but i refuse to sell this one (at least for now)

The Cavallino has really got a little piece of my heart now. I plan on putting many more miles on this car, i'm not worried about keeping miles low, i bought it to enjoy it and drive it!

Thanks all. I still don't understand how this Doug Demuro used to always bash this car and act as if it can't ever be driven daily..i guess that got him views. Believe me, i was very anti Ferrari & Lambo never thought i'd get one as i always thought they were "douchey" show off cars compared to Porsche ..so my review of the car is very how would i say "unbiased" it really surprised me

 

Well, its almost a proven fact....lol, the Ferrari guys most of the time when they say lets go for a drive, they mean take the cars through beverly hills and hit rodeo drive, while the Porsche guys hit up the canyons and twisties lol

 

Absolutely - and lets get real 40k miles on a 15 year old car really is nothing

 

I love both, however i feel much more confident during spirited driving in the 911, its just superb handling..the Ferrari is more straight line & sound. If i could only have one i'd stay German but thankfully rite now i can have Italiano & German ..I think the only Porsche that could give me same satisfaction i get from the F-CAR is a GT3 and those are ridiculous prices now for the manual ones.

 

Now i'm at 5k miles and just went in for oil change & complete check up & thankfully the car needed zero, zip , zilch..so i may say again so far 5k miles in 6 months and still nice & reliable.

 

little more fun today - except that i got nailed with my first speeding ticket in yeaaaars oh well, police doing their job & they were cool. It was a "Sting" at Palos verdes mountain, usually i do one pass first going up this one street to make sure no cops, but this time i just got on it rite away & they were waiting..

Nope, i've always thought these radar detectors were annoying because they always beep lol, i guess i need to start looking into this

 

ya i usually use waze, i was just careless that day

 

when i bought it it had the valves set to normal settings & the car just didn't impress me as it does now- valves open is way to leave it for me
