0-60 in the sub 4 second range should be all the justification you need J/k, but the performance is going to be crazy stock, imagine what some Dinan mods would do!

By the way guys, I have recieved many e-mail regarding to the mark-up.

The Marked-Up on 360 is really bad not just in CA, it's like a syndrome in the whole US. Take this one in East Coast for instance:

2004 Ferrari 360 Spider:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2457285892
The OTD price should be in the neighborhood of $262,000.00. (I would assume the MSRP on this thing would be $187,000.00)

Here is a 2004 Ferrari 360 Coupe:
http://www.dupontregistry.com/search...-C1A49BEFB863}
The OTD price should be in the neighborhood of $227,000.00. (I would assume the MSRP on this thing would be $162,000.00)

But HEY! I have the best interior (IMHO Of Course!)



As for the questions on my Exhaust. I'm switching Tubi from Capristo now because Capristo Exhaust lose low-end torque and it also heat up the engine bay despite the fact it has a deeper / louder tone than Tubi.

Since I do not wish to get a Rear Challenge Grill (which will reduce the temperature of the engine bay), Tubi is my only choice.

I will do some decent mods on my 360, hopefully won't void the Ferarri warranty (which should expire in 2007 but I will check for the exact date)

Who knows, I might put a blower on this car! Stay Tuned!

You Guys Rock!

Regards,
Ole' Jim

Was it brand new? If so are you going to let it "break-in"? How long is this process anyways? If you are letting it "break-in" that means you haven't punched it yet, right? God the interior is so nice. I own a 360 too. Well sorta. It is Red 360 Modena 1:18 scale. Don't know how it drives, well actually I don't think I can fit in it. LOL.

Yes, it's brand new w/ delivery miles and it takes me a while to find this car. Though the break-in period is about 1000 miles, Ferrari dealer told me to drive the hell out of it since it's got 3 years/unlimited miles warranty.

This thing drives real nice. Ferrari test this car 500 hours in wind tunnel before its producation to figure out its stability and Drag Co Eff
