Enoying the upgrade....Ferrari

[skyguy]

Just a note. I sold my 91 NSX and bought a 2001 Ferrari 360 Spider.
So far, no regrets. I thought I'd miss the NSX more.,,,"I'm just sayin'" :biggrin:

Nice pick up. Hows the ''fun'' factor in the Ferrari compare to the NSX?

It is not as smooth, but more "race car" like feel. The power diff is really noticable.
The fun factor is a 9 for the F car a 7 for the NSX. Just being honest...

Very nice!

Congratulations with your new toy.
However, I have spoken to quite some Ferrari owners and traders and they all told me the same:
-the reliability factor will be something like NSX 9, F-car 6
-the maintanance cost factor will be something like NSX 9, F-car 4
Keep your fingers crossed that yours won't be like that...

Congrates on the new ride. I too am making the jump into that side of the world. I love the NSX but I just like having something different in my life, steps at a time. Until the NSX is gone I will continue to give my current car the car care it deserves and the go fast crack pipe it seriously needs..

The Ferrari you purchased is very nice.

Yeah to be honest I don't think I would miss my nsx if i had a 360 spyder either! :biggrin:

 

[NSXAMG996TT]

That's orgasmic! Drive her in good health.

 

[Zishan]

Very nice........and the Ferrari's not bad either. :smile: j/k But seriously, that is a gorgeous car.

With the prices falling, I hope to pick one up in the future. But I hope to do a lot, it's called day dreaming. :biggrin:

Congrats!

I'm going to buy 7 of them. Once they finally get under 50k. I'm patient.

You left out the Tubi exhaust.:wink:

I know of an 03 Spider (360) 6 speed/manual that just changed hands at 72k,
it was mint and low mileage. Prices are plummeting, very tempting................but if I did pull the trigger, I'd keep the NSX too:wink:

 

[NetViper]

Great looking ride. Congrats. Keep posting!

 

[ChopsJazz]

I don't know how to break this to you, but you got ripped off. They didn't give you a clutch pedal. :wink:

 

[lunchman]

That is one sweet looking ride. Congrats and enjoy!

72K.. that is unreal for a spyder.

Congrat!!!

360 is the first Ferrari I appreciated (other than the specialty models such as the F series). You will have lots of memorable miles with it.

first, congrats to skyguy you're gonna love it more as time goes on.

second, I have had my 360 for over a year now the miles are 20k+ as I didn't buy it to look at. so far only a couple hundred dollars in repairs.

Ferrari maintenance is not as bad as everyone makes it out to be. I have owned my 348 now for 2 years and other than an oil change or 2, it has not been any problems at all. I have been eyeing up the 360's as the prices have been dropping like rocks.

2 years of ownership and you had 2 oil changes? So how many miles did you drive?
