Stradale is a great car but then still bring 135K or so and they are all F1. A nice 360 spider 6 speed will be 40K less than that. I had a 360 six speed that I probably should still own. Great car and never broke.

No it does not. I traded my F360 for an F430 F1. The biggest difference is that the 360 has belts that must be changed every 3 years and the F430 does not. The F430 offers more performance but is probably 40 to 50K more expensive. The difference in maintance costs is not that great. 2500 to 3K every 3 years.

Way too much difference. The 360CS has carried 0 depreciation (it actually gained value) in the last 4 years, and currently it is worth almost twice as much as a Modena.

I drove a 360 6spd coupe last year - that car drives like a bucket. The leather and trim was peeling back everywhere too. I wasn't impressed with it overall.
Can't speak for the hopped-up CS variant though. I'm sure it's better.

The good F1 are in the Scuderia, 16M and 599 GTO. The semi-Good in the 599 GTB and 612. The garbage one in the F430 and anything before that.
As usual, if your driving is summarized as car shows, highway driving, cars and coffee, car wash, curb parking, etc, the F1 in the F430 and CS is perfect.
With the California, Fiat is back to day 1, and there it goes, a nice variety of tranny issues. First the Cali, then the 458, then 458.2, now with the 740Hp F12, all these guinea pigs + the F458 challenge program will help Getrag to improve the DCT, and the very first car to get the 4th iteration is coming at the end of next year.

F1 in the CS and F430 is garbage. Slow, kind of SMG III slow. It is also not reliable under track conditions, many changes were applied over the years, with major re-engineering efforts during the Scuderia development.
