Hello, welcome and 360 pic

I thought members might enjoy seeing a picture of my new 360 I also wanted to say hello to everyone on ferrarichat.com for the first time. My name is Ray.

I previously owned a 1997 silver/black 355B (it was actually featured in Forza's 355 buyer's guide some years back, as well as in the book: Italian Sports Cars). After searching on and off for a couple of years, I finally was able to locate and purchase a reasonably priced 2001 ferrari 360. The car is currently being transported across the country and I can't wait for it to arrive! It took a while, but I was finally able to locate my first choice of colors and options in a 6 speed manual gear box. As you can imagine, I'm very excited to see the car in person.

I've already purchased a rear challenge grill for it, as well as K&N air cleaners. I'm currently also researching high flow cats and exhaust systems (leaning towards a Tubi again, since I had good luck with it on the 355). Other upgrades may include challenge or 3 piece modular rims.

Anyway, just wanted to say hello. I'm located in California (near Laguna Seca) and would love to get in touch with other owners in the area and/or on-line, etc. Attached is a picture of the car for anyone who may be interested in seeing it. It is titanium, 6 speed and all black interior. It has the 3M clear bra and 7,000 miles. Belts have recently been changed. ETA 2 weeks!

Hi Randy,

I'm going to install the hyper flow cats and perhaps some headers if I get crazy On the exhaust, I'm still up in the air. I had the Tubi on my 355 and loved it. I have never been a big fan of the capristo, but am hearing better things about it every day. Could you e-mail me and/or IM me so I could ask you some questions about it? I'm not clear what the little vents are for, for example. I would also love to see close up photos of yours and how the pipes are holding up. I have seen photos of one before where it appeared the material was rusting (although aren't they solid SS?). I like the light weight of the capristo. I would probably go for the level 1 (or the base one) or whatever they have. The level 3 must sound great, but I'd be concerned about tickets and waking everyone up

If you have any videos of your car or anything, would love to see/hear them. Do you feel the level 3 is overly loud in hindsight?

Ray

 

Thanks Chris! If the car gets here by the 10th, I may just take you up on that. I suspect it will be here in the next couple of weeks.

 

yes, that is correct.

 

Thanks!

 

Okay, thanks for the offer. I won't be able to make it, but of course I'm sure everyone would love to see a video. I did watch that video posted on here with the three cars.. that was a good test. At this point, I'm thinking I like the sound of the Tubi better. With hyper flow cats, I think it would have a sound like I'm looking for (similar to my 355 with a tubi).

 

Thanks. I'll be sure to post some. Latest update is that truck with my car is in Kansas and expected to hit the West Coast later this week and/or this weekend. So if all goes well, then the car should be here this weekend I figure.
