Re: Very nice, Luigi!
Thanks Christian, as usual I`m having problems with the pics... : 
: 
I`m in New york now, when I`ll get back in Milano next week I`ll try and send them to you.
When I`ll be back the baby should be ready for me to take back home finally!
Since they had to replace the front bumper, I told them to also install original air horns, and the front challenge grills.
As you all can imagine, I can`t wait to drive it again!

I understand you very very well.
Brief GT2 vs Modena comparison
Still in NY, weather has been pityfull, today is the first sunny day!
As of today I can only make a marginal assesment of the differences between the GT2 and Modena, because I,ve driven the Ferrari just for a couple of days (though I did 1500 kms in these 2 days
).
I really love both Porsche and Ferrari, and I`ve previously owned a 993 C4S and a GT3, before the GT2, so I should be pretty unbiased in my assesments.
Let me shock you right away: between the GT2 and Modena it is the Modena which feels more racebred!
It is probably down to a mix of a more racy engine sound (even though my GT2 was quite different from others as William knows ), more sharp steering, and most of all a quickness of the front end to follow instructions and dive for the apex.
The 360 feels more agile where the GT2 feels more grippy and planted, even though when the GT2 slides it does so with great controllability and composure for a rwd almost 500hp beast.
On a straight line there is no contest, the GT2 is quicker by a substantial margin, more so when you have to pick up from a high gear above 100 mph.But the 360 is really quick also, and taking the engine to almost 9000 rpms makes up for some tenths it might loose in outright acceleration, and the surprise is that the engine is extremely flexible, nothing like the F355`s.
As for extreme handling situations and a more comprehensive comparison, I will write a more thorough report when I`ve had some more hours behind the steering wheel of the Ferrari.

Re: Luigi -- I agree with your assessment 100%.
Jack, lovely car!
I regained possession today of my beloved, and I have to say that the dealer has done a magnificent job, even the small scratches from the previous owner are gone and the car is really splendid.
The front grills are a subtle but really nice modification, I am thinking of going with the rear challenge grill as well in a little while.
Have you done any other enhancement to your car?

Re: Very nice!
