I know I will take some lumps here but just thinking about it often. I really like the Ferrari 360 and the low miles 13k are very positive. Looking at many others also but this one is in the mix. I have had many Corvette and never a Ferrari so............

Why don't you read the F430 thread and gather some advice from there?

Steve_R

Are you asking a question? Nobody but you can decide what you want.

I have a buddy that has a 360. It's a very cool car but I would prefer the C7...since that's what I bought. One of the guys at Jalopnik had a 360 for a year and wrote a lot about it including maintenance costs etc. You might get some good info there too.

I drove a 360 Spider a couple of years ago for a half hour and it was definitely a cool car but not very comfortable to drive. IMO the C7 is the better choice. It will turn more heads too, as the 360 has been out a very long time now and looks a little bit dated.

The 360 does look nice in blue though! And from what I have heard that is a rare color too. I saw one when I was out in my LeMans Blue C6 and the color is almost a dead on match for LMB.

360 was cool back in the day but is dated now

I have a C-7.................Hands down the 360!

The Modena is one of the most beautiful cars ever made IMO. I'd still pick the C7 though. If I could afford a Ferrari I would not have to decide as I'd have both cars anyway ....

Barack disagrees with you...

Bigrightwinger

All things equal, the only reason not to buy the 360 is that it isn't a Corvette.

T VETTE

Just curious on your thoughts. I know it is a little dated but I never got tired of the C 5 either. They both scream cool.

RGT

I'd take the Modina.

Steve Garrett

Honestly, the 360 is an ugly car.....

Well, you've never had a C7 either. Comparing my 2LT Kalahari interior to the Modena's I think the C7 has it beat by a mile. I don't see a center console in the Ferrari, either. Futhermore, I'll bet the C7 outperforms that car in every category, and since the auction is already up to $82K, you'll be paying a steep price just for the nameplate.

Rad22

Modena by far...One advantage is that your depreciation will most likely be far, far lower then a brand-new Corvette.

7thgeneration

Well since you actually have to LOOK at the car you own definitely go with the C-7.

SRQStingray

I would look at cost of ownership, especially comparing a used super car to a new, warranted Corvette.

Patman

I know I'm sounding picky here, but people keep referring to this car as the Modena, when in fact it's a Spider. The Modena is the coupe version, the Spider (as pictured above) is the convertible. IMO the Modena looks nicer...

The Ferrari will hold its value, or at least deprciate very little over the years. So as long as you don't have any major issues with it, you won't lose much money. But all it takes is one serious problem to completely turn that around.

It would also depend on how much you want to drive the car. Ferraris are not daily drivers. They are a real thril to go for a blast, but to use every day things will go wrong with them. And those things will be very expensive to fix. If you've always wanted to own and drive a Ferrari then at some point you should. I had a 328 last year and a 355 earlier this year. Got it out of my system and will probably have the C7 for many years.
