wooped a few on track, but i would still love to have one. I prefer the F40 though, thats a proper Ferrari.
The car in the bridge wall at the 'ring wasnt the stradale, it was a 355.

I found the 360 looked better in the silver than it did in the red.

Dont Ferrari do a colour scheme where you can bring in a colour of your choice and you can have your car in that colour. Think ill have a nice Pink Ferrari please! because my girlfriend says it would match her handbag when we go out.

Ferrari and Aston Martin do it, Jeremy Clarkson was on about it to Jordan on Top Gear, cause she was thinking of getting a DB9, and when she heard she could have it in any colour of her choice, the tart was well happy.

I saw a Ferrari F355 do 12.8 at Santa Pod, and sounded bloody nice is well.
Is that all? Thought they were faster than that

12.8 aint that slow. Saw a Lambo murcialago do 12.8 and a 550 marranello do 13.6 on a Dvd i have at home. I always thought that the 550 marranello was a beast compared to the F355, like comparing a standard uk2000 to a 22b really, unless the bloke couldnt drive.

I have seen scoobs do 15 odd second qtr miles so surely they are pxss slow too????? Just coz one ferrari does one 12.8 sec qtr mile we think thats its time and its slow ..... comical to say the least

the 360 also does 0-100 in nine seconds and the stradale does it quicker still ..

Yes but if you were driving the 360 you would've whooped most scoobs.

Not sure they're quite that quick tbh - don't start quoting Autocar either

Ferrari's aren't about performance figures, gotta understand this. Owning and driving a Ferrari is all about the experience, the whole event of it. If you've not driven one, then you wouldn't know what it's like to sit in a Ferrari and drive past shop windows at 30MPH blipping the throttle - a totally different kind of joy

Ferrari 360 stradale for me with the £7k white stripe thats painted on the roof and bonnet. Theres a Ferrari/Maserati dealership near me everytime i drive past i always pick out a car that i want if i won the lottery, and to see 20 ferraris lined up on the forecourt can make any one drool.

Craig H ........EVO has 360 as 0-100 in 9 secs.
I have played with both the 360 and the stradale at the 'ring' as has Mr Felstead. In a straight line they are awesome and pull away from my 329BHP without a problem, so I feel 9 secs to 100 is realistic.

John ....... With the front end of the rarri totally gone it was hard for me to tell if it was a 355 or a 360 Ouch all the same though

It was a 360 Stradale and it had an M3 parked in the back of it.

It was at the end of Wipperman in August, just before Eschbach (sp)

Gutmann,

You may be right - have only been out in a friends - my scoob did 9 secs 0-100 and his 360 wasn't as quick. Yes he could drive, no he wasn't fat, yes I would've had him in the twisties
Was great driving around in it but it's not my kind of car. I prefer things that are plastic and fall to bits when you look at them

Dave,

Think you may be right about harj - I'm sure he was getting one

My friend borrowed one a few months back- blue 360 spider.
Put it against the scoob and I have to say equal to about 120 and the the 360 applies afterburner and f*cks off. Lovely sound though but nowhere nearly as quick round cold/ dampish corners as the scoob.

That stripe's not a real CS stripe - looks like it's been retro added.
The bumper is a CS bumper though, and it looks as though it has the right wheels.
I have heard of even CS owners baulking at the £6k for the stripe and therefore adding them to their cars independantly.

Real sorry to say this, let's not forget a CS owner could buy at least 6 Imprezas if he wanted to - but I guess it's not all about lap times.
