The other night my wife and I were in the car pool lane here in So. CA cruzin along when a new Ferarri pulled along side in the #1 lane, he looked over I down shifted to 4th and stood on it for a couple of hundred feet and backed off. The Ferrari caught up, the driver looked over and gave us the thumbs up and sped off.
What a rush!

I love the C6 and it's the best performance value on the road today...
But nothing beats the style and pure sex appeal of a 360 Modena.
(And I don't even like silver! )

And I prefer coupes on most cars.

Honestly, I don't see it (Modena hardtop or Spyder) as all that much more in the areas of style and pure sex appeal, I think people tend to confuse rarity/exclusiveness (VERY subjective terms btw) with visual attractiveness (even MORE subjective).
If there were 35k Modenas made per year and only 500+- C6s the tables could very easily be reversed I'd bet.
