    And all I can say is.... HOW THE HELL DO YOU START IT??? LOLLL
    What happened to just turning the key? How embarrassing!

    The 360 is here, and I am a pretty happy individual, found my 3 pedal 360 just a few miles from home.
    And my fat ass is so comfy in these seats :D
    The feel is out of this world. What a machine!
    And the Tubi? Holy moly!
    Oh ya, I paid extra for the sunroof because I loved it!

    It's a red / tan 360. Everyone has seen one,but here's a pic of the sunroof, since there are few pics of those around :)

    Congrats, very nice! But just because you're in the 360 club now, don't forget about us 348/355ers and spend all of your time on the other forum.

    That, is fantastic Chris! I knew you were looking but never guessed you were so close to it. You are going to be my case study to see how it compares.

    Congratulations really, you truly deserve it.

    Didn't know such an option existed. How rare is it? Didn't think I'd ever say it about a sunroof, but that's a beautiful sunroof.

    If I remember correctly the sunroof is a factory option. I have seen it on another 360, unless of course it was the same one you bought.

    We need more pics....

    Thanks Hank, see you soon :)

    I will, once things slow down around here.


    Thanks Ted, I will have a write up shortly. So far this thing exceeded my expectations.
    What a car!!

    Not sure how rare, I have read somewhere as little as 12. But nothing to substantiate that claim. You hardly ever see them for sale or at a show. So who knows. The one thing I know is I absolutely love it!

    Yes you are correct, it was factory option

    Awesome Chris!!! Knowing you, I am sure that this 360 is a perfect example. You mentioned the seats... Are they the carbon version?


    What options does she have? Challenge grills, Daytonas, shields???


    COME ON MAN! WE WANT PICTURES! :D;)

    Thanks Pap!

    Thanks LC,
    THe seats are regular seats, but they are so much more comfortable than the 348 seats.
    The car is plain Jane, the way I like it! Manual seats, no challenge grill, Wish it had shields but it doesn't, has a Tubi and has BALLZ! But it does have 3 pedals, which was the most important thing to me :) And the sunroof is wonderful.
    It's my youngest daughter's Bday, so once I kick everyone out I will take a few pics.


    LOL Jeff!
    it even has star fish wheels :)

    Gorgeous! I'm actually thinking of trading in my 355 for a 360 or an F430. So many issues with the 355. Would love to know what you paid for her. I would need a spider though.

    I second the notion! Lol I too am thinking of doing the same thing maybe not right away but am interested in Labmans question also. Like your comments about how much better you like your new ride. Good luck. There is no such thing as a plain-Jane Ferrari they are all beautiful .

    The top mounts behind the seats.
    I have never driven a 430, but this 360 is a wonderful switch from a 348. I wasn't sure if it was going to be the right move, but it was. No regrets.
    I am sure not everyone likes the way they feel and drive. And I loved the 348!
    This is just better for me, as I mentioned earlier, getting in and out is a big deal for me, I have a bad back.
    And this 6 speed is TO DIE FOR! :)

    Do it! Don't turn back :D

    If it was, is it worth 20k more?

    Chris--that's great news, please enjoy her in good health. Given your driveway, have you put skid plates on yet?

    I dig the sunroof as well. Very unique. I haven't been hanging out in this section, but I hope your 348 went to a good home.
