From what I've seen they are more reliable and certainly faster. 550-Love the looks of the car. Plenty fast. Concerned that it costs a lot more to own because of the V12. Also concerned it may be numb feeling compared to the 360. Would love to drive one to know if it's something I should look into or not....jeff. 355-First car I was every crazy about. I believe a 95 355 is just about as fast as a 360. Cheapest choice. Not too crazy on the interior. Again would like to drive one to know if it feels at all like the 360. 360-F'n awesome. Hopefully could find a good deal once the 430 comes out. What color to get? Love the silver and titanium yet not sure if I would get tired of those colors quickly. Black is the sickest but would end up making it all black and that's not cool because it's been done. As much as I love the car it's a lot of money to step into a slower car. 430- Growing on me and I'm sure it looks better in person. Actually fast. Ton of cash. Could always just get the new Z06 and wait for the 430 to come down in price....but I want an italian now.
dude do whatever you like black 360 is the jam bro and i would be flattered if you blacked out the wheels like mine. it would be cool if you found one with yellow calipers but if you found a black one for a great price I would be so siked we could terrorize long island together with the 2 black beasts. 355 feels nothing like the 360 but still is a great option gallardo is a big boat that drives like a slug athorwise known as the SLUGBOAT 550 is just as costly as the 360 and you would be able to find one for probobly the same price
Hey, if money's an issue, step into a 355 and dump it when you have the cash for a 430. Hey, and I think I know a guy with a sweet black one that is looking to step up to a 430 in the near future... Emil... The 360 is pretty sweet. Drives great, but the prices are still fairly high, and we know they're gonna come down real fast in 6 months to a year when the 430 comes out. The Gallardo? Looks cool, but never driven it. Don't really know the downsides other than what I've heard, but a plus size is that you could drive it all winter long with the all wheel drive. Ferraris are definitely cooler though but hey, be different. You won't see near as many Gallardos around as Ferraris. Oh yeah, that was just my couple pennies thrown in for good measure.
beautiful day out, think i'll just take 2 steps and jump in my car and go for a drive, utkarsh can you?
if your budget is around $200K range then your best buy now is a CS. the 355's and 360's will be devaluating very steadily. The CS will be holding its value much stronger than any other f-car out there not counting the F430 which you would pay an arm and a leg to get one. Get a CS now and move into a F430 in two years. Or you might not even come out of it. its a great car.
no i cant and what pisses me off the most the car has moved exactly ZERO miles since i left.. should have just brought it here, will do that fo sho in spring
Figuring a lease or finance on something in the 100 - 140 range. I still have to see exactly how much I'll be making. As much as I'd love a CS it's still too much cash for me and I'd have to get a stick. I figure I'd be about ready to purchase towards the end of the winter when prices are lower. That's if I roll into this job within the month.
Gene, then you are better off buying a nice clean 98-99 F355 spider. it's a lot of fun and has already taken the hit.
This is kinda what I was thinking. Although it would still be a little bit unit I get the car. Hopefully by then the 360's will fall. A sick challenge grill, shields, 6 speed, exhaust done, stitching, in the right color 360 for like 120K I'd be all over it.
hopefully u get that job at UBS. maybe u will be working with one of the EC crew someday in the same department (name hidden to keep identiy secret)
dont lease its $ your just throwing away...as for my suggestion leave the italians for a few years and get something reliable like a 97 porsche turbo to hold you over till you have a nice bacnk account
