    Hello Everyone,

    I am considering purchasing a 360 Spider and I am interested in what all you owners think out their? I am also debating between 6-speed and F1. All thoughts are welcome. I want it as an additional car to a F430 Coupe. Thoughts?

    Thank you in advance

    Great car, beautiful to look at and drive. If your 430 is a F1 get a 6 speed in the 360.

    To the vast majority of people, the only difference is that one is a ragtop. To you and most of us on the board, there is a significant difference between a couple and roadster and between the 430 and 360. To have both is approaching nirvana.

    I have been into roadsters for many years and understand that I have given up the rigidity and slightly better performance of the coupe. But, for me, I want to drive with the top down, and the slight loss in performance, at least at the track, is a small price to pay for the everyday driving pleasure.

    If you can, go for both.

    If you want a convertible, I would get something different, the cars are too similar in style if nothing else...how about a DB9:)

    As Rob said, I love having the top down so there was no choice for me; Spider all the way. I do love my 360, it is a great car.

    You have a 430, why a 360 Spider? Why not a 430 Spider? I haven't driven a 430 but I understand that it is a much nicer car than the 360.

    As for F1 vs 6 spd - the choice is very personal so it depends on what you want/like. I ended up with F1. I originally thought 6 speed but now that I have an F1 I am very glad. I am thinking about a 2nd car and thinking some kind of F1, I don't think I will go back.

    Good Luck

    Why not a 12 cylinder car to break up the manotiny, I would say Barchetta if the budget allows.
