Well it was mine at least in my imagination for the few minutes I sat in it. This piece of pure car **** was at my friend's shop in Monterey (McCall Motorsports). Complete Alcantara interior, even the door panels, every hot option known to Modena. Nothing exceeds like excess!

Bobby,

That's a beautiful F430 spider! Only cost x2 more than my 360 spider. What are those pad things under the tires? I seem those repeately in Ferrari shops.... What's the purpose of those pads?

RSRee

These pads get sold off as "Hallowed Ground" to the Ferrari tifosi after a Ferrari has been parked on them, and they will use them as prayer mats 3 times a day while genuflecting in the direction of Enzo's grave in Maranello.

... or so I have been told. But then, I am willing to believe just about anything :-))

It's lasagna sheets to catch the oilo di olive. Just jealous and joshin'! Nice F('n) cars.

Robin,
They are there to stop the tyres getting flat spots (supposedly) or they could be there to stop hot sticky tyres lifting paint....



Simon.

PS =- Love the new ride!

Hi Robin,

I don't know the purpose of the pads, but they look like little pieces of thin plywood, maybe to keep the tires from touching something so mundane as a concrete floor. I meant to ask but I was too addled by just being around this much car. I think he said it is an F460.

The pads are so the tires don't get flat spotted while sitting in the garage ... usually due to the lack of use.

I don't think you are going to have that issue for some reason Robin ...

Wall Street got flushed, Main Street is hanging on to the rim, and Porsche guys are sampling a dream. I love it.

Alcantara is a man made synthetic. I'm sure it doesn't smell as good as real leather. That's why I don't get the premium on it. Its like charging more for vinyl.

Well, my 360 is parked on top of 4 inches the softwood. Now, so much for flat spotting the tires. :P

Robin, I still haven't seen a thread where you give your driving impressions of your 360, or did I just miss it somewhere?

Robin 993DX

I did mentioned it a little on another post.

Let's put it this way, the 360 Modena is a combination of a 993 and 996 turbo, but with faster throttle response and a major head turner wherever you go.

And sound that just can not be reproduced by any other car in the world.

So far I love it! Atleast for now the notion of owning a Ferrari it is out of my system, I will probably stick with Porsches in the long run. Much more practical everyday grocery getter than a Ferrari.
