    I just drove the F1 355 this past weekend with Premier Car Club out of Hudson, NH. It was unreal! It has me thinking about dumping the Porsche- they're telling me the F1 355 Spider is a classic model to go with. Any thoughts?

    A Porsche is a wife and a Ferrari a Mistress. I have a beautiful wife, that is why I got my mistress and next week my second mistress, my second is a beautiful red head.

    I'd go 6-speed 355 and F1 in a 360. 355 is first generation F1, not as slick as the later cars and parts are incredibly expensive. An F1 pump for a 355 lists at 16,000 USD (!) versus 1,000 USD for a 360 for example...

    The 355 Stick shift is an awesome car, arguably slightly sweeter handling than a 360. Looks is a preference thing, I like the 360 better.

    If you're big and you like practicality, the 360 is a better bet.

    Good luck!

    Do it! You won't regret it. I have the same exact car you just drove, a 98 355 F1 spider Red/tan. While some people say don't get an F1, I absolutely love it and will never get another Ferrari without one. I just drove it back from Montreal last weekend and had 0 problems with it. I drove it hard too. What a fun time. Worth every penny.

    Where is that club located? I just bought a house in Chelmsford so it's very close to me.
