Ahh the ironies of life Alan.

What made the 355 stand out besides the day-glo red was it's LOWNESS. Low and Wide is what defines exotic. Add in great curves or distinctive style elements and that is what makes a timeless exotic, a classic.

The 360/430 are big cars. In the showroom a 360 was parked right next to the TR. The 360 was much taller especially the nose, probably the european pedestrain law BS.

Here is the irony - 430/scud have awesome interiors and performance but exterior so-so. The 348/355 have the low awesome timeless bodies, but crap interiors (relatively) and not as good performance.

The ultimate 8 cyl Fcar would be - 348 exterior, 430 interior, scud engine.

The best looking Ferrari to see driving on a classy city road - a mint waxed 512TR in black from behind so low and sooo wide!

Thats why i am so happy with the 928. Low wide sleek with the best interior ever designed and my sound. The nose of a 928 is knee level.
