I heard a rumor that all Ferraris come with an OEM mechanic in the trunk. Needed to keep it running. Little Italian guy. Doesn't eat much.
Again, if money is no object............supercars are super. I wish I had Jay Leno's garage.

Wow! This thread is four years old! Having said that, you can currently get a nice 360 Modena for around $85K. The F360 and C6Z are currently the only cars that I (being realistic) would own over my C5Z...

If you can afford a Ferrari, you can afford to buy both.
Driven an F430, beautiful car and fast as hell. F1 trans is fantastic.
There is no comparison, ferrari wins hands down.

I can afford a Ferrari, but I'm not into spending that kind of money on taking care of a car. I was actually going to buy one a few years ago, but I spoke with some owners and a Ferrari shop who explained maintenance costs and what was involved. I've driven many over the years, including a 365gtb. Comparing a Ferrari to a ZO6 on paper doesn't begin to give one an understanding of the difference between the cars. A vette is a vette and a Porsche is a Porsche and A Ferrari is a Ferrari. They are all completely diffferent from each other in how they look and feel. Comparing et's and hp does not begin to make for an understanding of a Ferrari...or a Porsche or any other exotic.

If he's got the money, the Ferrari 360 would be the choice no doubt! Completely different animals. Although a stock C5Z would edge out a stock Modena in a straight line race, not everything is measured in just purely numbers and times. There's more to a sports car than just that.
But speaking of straight line racing, I do have a race lined up in a few weeks again a Ferrari Challenge Stradale with a Capristo Level 3 and no cats test pipes.
I've heard that car is LOUD! Five times as loud as my car from what a buddy told me, and I have the B&B Bullets which aren't puny sounding. That should be a VERY close race because it's a lighter car than the stock 360 (but weighs about the same as a Z06) and makes more power (guessing it dynos 350-360rwhp). He does have the F1 auto clutch tranny so I need to bring my game as far as shifting. That's all the details I'll provide for now on here. Here's a pic of what I will be up against...

I figure that the only way you will see me in a Ferrari is if I win the lottery.. Then I would quit my job and have lots of cars like Jay Leno,, and hang out at Barrett Jackson and wheel and deal cars for my Museum of Cars.. In reality it will probably never happen.. So I'm stuck in my 02 Z06... Such a sad situation

If money was no consideration I'd take the 360 over a C5Z. It is though..so I drive a C5Z 
A closer comparison would be the C6Z or ZR1 as they are in the same price ballpark of a used 360. I would definetly choose a new C6Z over the used 360.
