I want the 355 backkkk

but then, the Novitec version looks sick

IMO the 355 styling is way outdated now.
I used to hate the F430 and love the 360 Modena, but this thing is just slowly growing on me.
These pictures have given me faith, not to mention that front lip is probably worth more than my car.

I would have thought you guys would all say the Maranello is nicer.
IMO that is the nicest Ferrari of all time.

Let's put it this way.. None of us in this thread will likely ever be able to buy one (without the help of 649). And anyone of us in this thread that would pass on a chance to drive one would be pretty daft :)

IMO

430 looks better than the 360
has a more agressive look to it
i guess you could say you like the 355 better. its like the porsche fans that love the 993 forever

Exactly what I would have said. Ferrari is the pinnacle of automobile engineering, I wouldn't fuck with that. The F430 is such a beautiful car as it is.

I'm surprised about the response of the F430, I think its gorgeous. Never really gave the 355 a second look but it is also a very nice vehicle.

the F430 is sick PERIOD. 355 doesnt come close. Nice car but its old school.

arian_ma
07-30-2006, 05:48 PM
Hamann didn't really change the lines of the car, for most of the "Kits'' the used the same bumper and moulded a front lip to it. Same with the side and rear.

That Berlinna 355 looks amazing, I love the wider stance of the whole car. :thumbsup:

Edit: Berlinetta

There was a black 430 spider along with the Orange Murci with the wing/kit this morning outside Nellie's on 17th at around 9:30... they are there every Sunday morning for breakfast!

I don't think I have seen a Ferrari yet that I didn't like. I'm going to Vegas soon and I'm going to see if I can't rent a 355. Although I WILL have to stop off at the store and pick up a box of tissues first, i'm sure I'll mess myself on every gear shift! ;)

360's are for italian queer boys, they 430 was suck a massive improvement. The 355 is pure ferrari before all the electronic assists and paddle shift gayness. I love the 355 as well, I once went for a ride in a 355 challenge, amazing car.

I like the looks personally. If you want to convince the ricers that it's not ugly just photoshop the emblems, put a Nissan badge on it & tell them it's a Skyline and their tune will soon change to 'the hottest car ever'.

LOL! No shit. The 355 has power steering, power windows, power everything. 348 is where it's at. It's a bare bones car w/o any of the new gear. I see what he meant though with the 360's tech. Guess i'm a queer boy too because I want a 360 too. 550 Maranello in black for me 1st. V12 baby.

Not a grudge. I just cannot understand how Skylines got placed on a pedestal of greatness when there are & have been many other better looking & performing cars.

I tend to agree. I mean its a great car and everything, but it seems to have this greater than god status.
I wonder if ppl will be paying a premium when the gtr comes here in north america in 09 :dunno:

I think the F430 Spider is the nicest looking of the V8 Ferraris IMO.. I like it better than the Enzo (looks and as a street car).

Stick it next to a 360 and it makes the 360 look dated, although an F355 is really nice.

Redlyne_mr2
08-02-2006, 03:29 PM
Yep you are all queer boys with poor tastes in cars:D The 348 was an awesome car as well but was more problematic than the 355 even though it had less.

I always liked the 575, I consider it to be the best-looking modern Ferrari. I don't like either the 360 or F430, they just don't float my boat.

Ever driven a 348 or 355? Yucky cars, although the F355 sounds really nice and looks cool.

I agree with the Maranello comments. If I could choose one Ferrari to live with for the rest of my life it would be the 575 Maranello. F40, F50 & F60 are all great cars but how practical would it be to roll up ANYWHERE besides a track in those cars lol.

Ferrari = god of cars

Yah the tranny in the 355 is super notchy, I had trouble getting it into gear, Im not sure if its the same tranny in the 348. The 360 is leaps and bounds ahead of the 348/355 series but they just made it a bit too cushy and female looking.

Thats what the F430 is for

Agreed. The F430 has a much better chassis, better transmission, looks more aggressive and is way faster with better brakes. Hard to fault it.

Yeah, looks like they used the Grigio silverstone F430 in Miami Vice, although I've only seen a preview.

Your right. I have seen it in the flesh and it does look better. But if I had designed the F430 the front and sides would be the same..just slap a 360 CS rear on there.

I was also dead sure it was Grigio Silverstone but someone in the Miami Vice thread said it was black. Let's beat 'em down if they're wrong!

The F430 looks amazing in blue- Tour de France, Mirabeau, and Azzurro California especially. Jean Todt's personal F430 is TdF.

The only ferrari I have ever disliked is the old Mondial......such a shameful car aesthetically.

430 is MUCH hotter than the 360. 360 is much nicer than 355 and so on IMO.
