The 360 is nice - but keep an eye out for those belt services and cam variator issue.

DO NOT make the mistake of driving a 430 F1 - it will be hazardous to your wallet.

The extra 100 HP and F1 improvements are noticeable.

I do find the brakes to be not as good on both the 360 &430-- the 997s are better IMHO.

F430 Scuderia, there really is no substitute... The transmission and exhaust note are to die for.

+1... Personally, I could STARE at the 360 Modena all day long (pure art in my book), but I could DRIVE the F430 Scud all day long... Even more fun than a GT3 (and that is saying something).... Definitely on my bucket list!

and just figured it was some kind of scam.

But I kept going back to it and I was very interested until my better half said we already have too many blue cars.

As I guy shopping for cars I would suggest 2 things for the 911 ad. First verify that it has the new IMS bearing, the 2nd hand "the other guy told me" sends up all kinds of red flags. Second, if your CD player will play MP3 then note it in your ad.

If the 911 was guards red it would on its way to my house

My 2005 S that's for sale has the upgraded 2006 IMS bearing....http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.js...standard=false
