    I had heard it was the fuel or oil lines that were weakened at one point. And when you mix fuel or oil with heat and a little bit of air passing through the vents in the bonnet....well use your imagination. The exhaust manifolds was also an issue too, but I heard Ferrari stepped up making better durable hoses and redesigning the manifolds. I've even heard of a 360 Modena that an exotic car rental company had at one time that had over 150k miles on it before it burned to the ground. They drove the crap out of it for years. Not saying that's the average life expectancy of a Ferrari, but that's just what I know. I do think the newer Ferrari's are alot more reliable than they were in the past.

    That was Gotham Dream Cars and I'm pretty sure if you do a search, you'll find a vid of it.

    Yep that's correct. That was Noah's car and he's the guy who owns Gotham Dream Cars. I have a few dvd's with him driving the balls off of that car. That 360 actually lasted alot longer than alot of people thought it would.
