My 360 was a 1999 Red/black Euro F1 transmission (Euro spec) without converting to US spec. I had the car for 6 month and put 10K miles on it. It wasn't my ideal option espeically I didn't like the F1 and red color
Here is my 2 cent,
Driving aspect of the F360, I can say is one of the best experience I had including the used Alfa Romeo sprint I used to have. You heard of it? Anyways, one of the most noticable difference between the Turbo and the F360 is the instant response from the N.A. V8. I mean everytime I tab to 1st gear and floor the gas. The rear wheel start to spin from the instant torque kick in. If you know what I mean
Sliding will just be a tab on the throttle
So I think if you like sideway action, you will love the Ferrari rather than 996 Turbo. The handling character of the car is still alittle understeer but power over is much easier to execute. It is definetly harder to drive fast than the Turbo but easier to drive than the F355.
Performance wise or speed wise is can't even compare to a Gt2 for sure, but I remember the time I used to own the Alfa, I used to drive the car around the mountain roads during the weekend. Most of the time I was zoomed by a 911 or even a 328i and I still have a smile on my face. But Why? In the Turbo, anytime there were some guy try to tailgate me or pass me. I will do my best!! You know what I mean? I just turn into this crazy person, going into the corner with unbeliveable speed. But in the Alfa or Ferrari, how fast you go is irrevant but how much fun you are having. You put the Ferrari into a slide with the combination of sound when you downshift and the echo bounce back from the mountain. You won't care rather a Bus or a Porsche pass you
Now I talk about it, I really want my Ferrari back!!! I don't know how the italian do it, but both the Alfa, Ferrari and even the Lancia really put those great memory in me forever.
If you want to ask me rather the Ferrari is a sport car, I have to say the Ferrari is not exactly a hardcore raw thrill sport car. The GT3 is more of a sport car. Its a nimble, usable Ferrari for everyday. I guess is the best way to describe it.
As for the Tubi I had, I really don't know which one is it. I assume it is the not so loud one, because it really wasn't so loud when the window was close. Also the suspension setting was broken after 2000 miles, I had to replace the whole system without warrenty because it was a Euro spec
wish you luck, hey I am going Milan Wednesday. Dinner recommendation
? Should I just go around and say I am a friend of you if I had problem for reservation
?
