I drove a 2002 360 Modena F1 over the weekend and thought i would share a little of the experience. It has a 3.6L v8 producing 400hp and this one was also upgraded with the Tubi exhaust so the sound was even more unbelievable than a stock ferrari.
Holy cow, this thing was just plain fast. This car will blast from a standstill to 60 mph in a tick over 4 seconds and tops out at 180+ mph.
It only took one on ramp to realize that this was also the best handling car i had ever driven and people on the freeway get out of your way when they see you coming which is another plus of a red ferrari.
The F1 paddle shifting was really easy and you can click off upshifts with the flick of a finger, but i was surprised that it didn't shift smoother. It seemed to snap your neck on upshifts, and bucks hard off the line when you take off. But the transmission was as simple to use as our TIPs and does have a full automatic mode, which I didn't use I think overall i would want the manual instead of the F1.
One hard thing was the 360's low front end, which looks like it will scrape on most driveways or uneven entry ways which would make it hard to drive in an everyday setting which i would want to do if i actually bought one.
All in all it was super fun to drive, fast, and not a bad way to spend $150-200k if i had that kind of money.

But these cars surely have their own flair and appear to be from a different planet. I loved driving that F40 and still enjoy every minute behind the wheel of these exotics (as long as it isn't a 308 or 328 ;-)

Too bad that money is over-rated, otherwise we all could share this kind of experience.

and my driving impressions are the same. I had to remember to rest my head on the headrest before nailn' it or I'll pull a neck muscle or something. For a heavier grand touring car, that thing handled incredible. I can easily see myself getting too over confident on twisties.
