Actually I noticed that the original questoner asked a similar question on ferrari chat and many responses were from people who have OWNED both the 360 and g cars.

The responses I think are i think a very balanced perspective very much in favour of the G and yes- many of these use it on the track .

I didnt say you were being bias, but i am allowed my opinion and im pretty sure that a website like this is a place to express an opinion and explain why that is my opinion.

Plus you said those who think the G is dull or the 360 is slow probably havent driven either of them properly. Well as explained i own a 360 and have driven a G on a track 4 times, off the track quite a few times and find its handling dull compared to the 360. I dont like the 4 wheel drive on a small car. It works great on the Merci, not on the G.

Not once have i said, the 360 is better cos i own one. The 360 is a great car, but a 360 CS is far superior (before you start, yes i have driven one), a Merci is far better, DB9 is a wonderful car but very different.

anyway


Funny, you posted I should learn to read properly. Perhaps you should take your own advice.

I actually said

"Because they either haven't driven both properly. Or are on the I bought X and everything else must be shit tip."

The second sentence would apply to you since I DID READ your post stating you had driven both.

Moreover, you don't appear to be able to read your own posts either. You didn't say the G was duller, or dull in comparison. You said

"I drove a Gallardo on the track, then drove my 360 straight afterwards and for me, the Gallardo was dull."

Now you've mentioned numerous times your entitled to your opinion. And no one here has questioned that. But the moment I questions some of the reasons you would claim the G to be "dull", you jump all over me. Am I not entitled to my opninion? I'll quote your own post:

"I am entitled to my opinion and to express it, if anyone agrees with me or they dont - i dont care. "

and suggest you chill out. Because while your entitled to your own opinion. This isn't your own private forum. Its a public one and people will quite often question and challenge your opinion. Especially if you go around calling ~500bhp, mid engined, Italian sports cars made by the likes of Lambo dull!

5 to 1, don't take a the bait, Stimo inherited the money to buy his 360 anyway! He'd be in a honda if the gene pool was different.

No i didnt, but thanks for your ignorant post !

Im sorry, all i have done is express my opinion of the 360 and Gallardo. Never said either of them or bad, just why i prefer one to the other.

Im not trying to have a go at anyone for having a Gallardo, not at all. Sorry if it came across that way.

As for that last comment, i'll treat it with the contempt it deserves !

Still unsure, but I love the 360 more than I did yesterday.

They do that don`t they, don`t use em for a couple days then do a 2 hour stint ( Southwold to Colchester and back).............and all the initial buzz comes back, having said that ..I`ve not driven the Gallardo yet.
