Having driven both a F355 (Father used to own one) & a BMW 335i (mine), the Ferrari is streets ahead in terms of driving performance and looks. The 360 is slightly quicker and handles better but looks like shit in comparison to the 355.

BMW's are ten a penny, everyone has one. A Ferrari, especially one like the F355, is a work of art.

Like others have said though, Ferraris cost a fortune to maintain and they are obviously very unreliable due to their highly tuned engines. Cars like the 355 and 360 deserve to be tracked as well, to not would be a waste in my opinion.

Unless you have a special love for Ferraris, I'd go for some kind of 911 variant or something like someone else said. It will perform just as well as the above and they're a little more practical.

Eh, I was a lot younger at the time (12 years ago) and the other guy that was looking was in his mid-50s and looked more serious than I did so that probably had something to do with it. No worries anyway, I'd rather have an old school Porsche.
