tuscan /elise into 360 F1
Discussion
has anyone gone from a tuscan or elise into a 360 F1. im thinking of trading in and getting just one car.
i do love the 360, but having gone out in a freinds car ( andhe is a good driver) it all felt abit soft and tame compared to tuscan and elise.
so im thinking of renting a 360 for a day or so.
but was interested to see what you guys think on the matter please?

Far from tame I'd say , mind you the difference between a Tuscan and an Elise is quite a huge one. My Elise's Exige's always felt a little gutless at the uper end like the Tuscan the 360 doesn't.
A good idea to hire one, however in my opinion it takes more than a few hours to get used to a car that rev's as high as a Ferrari.

I jump between an elise 111R and 360 Spider a few times per week.
I guess a good driver will drive the Ferrari like a big Elise but it takes a while to get your head around the increase in physical size and bulk of the Ferrari vs the obvious nimbleness of the Lotus. It is certainly easier and more intuitive to drive the Elise harder but bear in mind the limits are lower. Can't imagine how the 360 can be described as tame.

Had a Sagaris before the 360.
The Sagaris is definitely more raw, but more in terms of its power delivery and feeling off acceleration (prob due to its weight).
I couldn't say the Ferrari feels tame in comparison, just alot more comfy and confidence inspiring.
There are no shakes or rattles, the steering is hugely precise which was the big difference for me.
As mentioned, put a tubi or similar on it and you'll love the car.
I miss the Sagaris sometimes for its pure "I might die" factor but I wouldn't go back, the 360 is basically the same car with ALOT of money spent on R&D and fine tuning.

Spot on mate. I came from a Tuscan Red Rose and haven't looked back in 65,000 miles of 360 driving The Sagaris is definitely more raw, but more in terms of its power delivery and feeling off acceleration (prob due to its weight).
