Hi guys

Ive always loved all things ferrari and I hope someday to have my own. I always loved the 360 ferrari and there is obviously the new 340 with an updated one been released pretty soon.

But for us not so experience people out there. what is the actual difference between the 2 cars, Ive heard from various discussions that the old 360 is a better car. Obviously with modern technology the newer car has traction control and other F1 bits. But is there any difference. I live in wandsworth right next to joe macari and last week he has two red ferraris pull out, one been a 360 and the other a 340, I personally think the 360 sounded so much better. but the 340 had a much better modern look to me.

It also blows my mind sometimes that you can spend a 120000 grand on a car and you have to wind up the windows, very funny

oh well, thanks for this great site

any info will be appreciated

You probably want to get out of the habit of calling the 430 a 340 smile

i'll try and be serious for a second

the 360 came out around 1999, at the time it was head and shoulders above the competition

it was replaced by the 430 in 2005, with a larger engine, more power and more importantly more low down torque.

i prefer the look of the 360 but the 430 is the better car.
both have traction control and the gay f1 gearbox as an option.

you pay your money you make your choice

unlikey they'll do a test of the 430 unless it's in a group or they tst the lighter 430 Scuderia.

however as an aside, the Lambo Gallardo has more power and 4 wheel drive and is far better looking than the 430

Hi Wayne

I have owned both a 630 and and a 340, both of which were lovely cars. My 340 was, however, a more powerfull car and considerably more refined in its handling capabilities. It also had this mega big stereo which was just like my mate Lydias No, but yeh, but no, what happened was, was you know the Redmond sisters, they found a verruca sock in the girls bogs and put it in Carrie's bag and she completely had an eppy and turned up to Carmel Sharma's party with a compass and stabbed Carmel Sharma, and anyway Shelly Bentley gave Craig Harmen a blowie in the shallow end for a bite of his Funny Foot.

Since then Ive gone back to owning a Strallenge Chadale which seems to tick all the boxes.

hope this helps

smile
