Nice to see a review with a decent driver, albeit with a lousy choice in shirts Jason is a current British touring car driver.
Engine seems to have power everywhere!

Yes, he had a brief career in F1. Unfortuantely for him Mansell was his team mate and beat him senseless. Also quite a distingushed endurance / le mans driver + touring cars. He won a round of the Diablo challenge with another respected racer / journalist, Mark Hales a year or two back.

Actually yes when it comes to the 360. The V12 cars still had some issues I believe, they may have worked them out in later models. Older model Ferraris deserve their reputation, but looks like Ferrari/Fiat is starting to get their act together with the newer cars.

Nice car,I am obviosuly biased, but I think the 355 looks better and sounds better( with a Tubi) then this 430 or the 360. I also dislike the trend for more drivers aid gadgets and computers in Ferrari's these days. Then again I would pick an F40 over an Enzo every time.
