    A used 360, early year and miles is relatively affordable for a supercar Ferrari.

    You’re right, if you search – you can get a 360 for as low as $75K.

    Without knowing the price and looking at it on the road – it looks like a 200K car.

    i just read in a magazine selling a used 2001 ferrari 360, 2120 miles, red, $76,000+..man, as i read more i didnt notice i was drooling already.

    german build quality with a strong engine ,ore the asome nimble ferrari with the howling v8.
    i dont like pink shirts and fancy hair cuts,but i would like a ferrari.

    agree I have known quite a few Ferrari drives that really don’t know about there cars.

    i feel like people who dont know anything about cars buy a ferrari
    just because they know the name and brand

    oh I see ya car wash, I mean Drive-through.

    Oh a drive-through car wash, I see. I thought you just meant you saw someone washing their F430 at the car wash. :P

    I’d say they’re both worth their prices.

    Ferrari is a Ferrari…just like a Rolex is a Rolex.
    Sure you could make the argument a Porsche is just as good, or a Citizen watch keeps just as good time.

    Basically, drive both. and you’ll see.

  9. seroyer2 Says:

    don’t know anything …
    don’t know anything about not taking your car through the car wash, the spinning brush’s create micro scratches, and dull the paint.

  10. Raviotar Says:

    So what, expensive …
    So what, expensive cars can’t get dirty? They don’t need to be washed? Your argument makes no sense.

  11. seroyer2 Says:

    I don’t like …
    I don’t like Ferrari’s, they cost way to much and i don’t think you get your moneys worth. I think that 90% of Ferrari drivers are D-bags, that are more worried about there hair than they are about learning to driver there car. I actuary saw a guy take his F430 through the car wash wow. I feel like you get your money worth with a GT3, oh and it had German build quality, unlike a Ferrari, witch has Flat build quality.

    That’s different. There’s a big difference between drifting around one corner at a time like Top Gear, and D1 drifting.

    I’d love you to go try saying that in japan At the drift tournaments or just on the streets or even to any rally driver,. Sure most peaple can claim to drift, But there’s a huge difference in between drifting it by accident and drifting for a purpose

  14. JellyBird12 Says:

    Theres no way in …
    Theres no way in hell, the CS is worth $73,000 More than the GT3, Especially when the GT3 is faster in a Straightline, and is faster around all other tracks except this 1. so if you buy that CS over the GT3, you are an idiot.

    i cant describe how godd it looks
    i love that colour so much!
    but still, would get the gt3 coz only few ppl go to track every weekend))

    Lol, I guess I would too. Taking for granted that I wasn’t the one paying for the tires!

    Edit to above: Definitely WOULDN’t be like “if I just….”

    Oh totally! Haha, …
    Oh totally! Haha, I am well aware I am no racing driver. If I was given an afternoon with a supercar I would have as much fun as I possibly can! Sure I’d try to do a few “quick” laps at the start, but very soon my lack of skill would put the tail out and (so long as I didn’t crash) I’d say, “damn that was fun! I’m gonna do that again!” Definitely would be like “if I just enter this corner a little slower and get on the power a little sooner, I can shave 2 tenths off a lap time”

  20. blown4six Says:

    So if you got the …
    So if you got the chance to drive any of the cars on the show, you would just drift it around the track? That takes little skill, going fast without drifting the back end out is the driving that takes skill, where your just on the edge of the cars limits. Anyone with a little driving talent can drift.

  21. TopSpeedCGT Says:

    Go watch Fifth Gear …
    Go watch Fifth Gear if all you want to do is watch the cars do hot laps. Top Gear is more about playing with the cars, doing what we would do if we got a chance in one of these cars for a day. Of course with a little bit of “which one is really faster?” at the end with the lap times.
