360 test drive tomorrow....help!

[BlackBison]

Hey guys,
Wondered if I could tap into your knowledge banks for some info on test driving a 360.
I have the drive arranged for tomorrow morning in both a manual and an F1. Just wanted some pointers as to what to look for/listen for.
i currently drive a Schnitzer M3 SMG so I know all about the gearboxes etc and have a reasonable benchmark I think. I know im going to love it, but need to make a decision not based on wild emotion (harder than I reckon it'll be).
also, the dealer is making me source my own insurance cause I'm 23.....is he having me on cause he thinks ill crash?!?!? I must say, PJ Evans' salespeople seem to have gone from arrogant and unhelpful to just plain rude since they acquired their ferrari signs to replace the old porsche stuff.......
Any help you guys could offer me would really really be appreciated. Thanks in Advance.

hi, im no 360 expert but drive a 355 f1. The 360 f1 is more advanced than the 355s but from what i hear the smg is in a different league. In the 355 it pays to back off the throttle on up changes to help smoothness. As to them insisting on you getting your own insurance cover, that does sound unusual. However there have beeen a couple of crashes i have heard of involving ferrari test drives. In both cases the drivers apparently underestimated the power and crashed into the vehicle in front and or a lampost or something. Hope you enjoy the experience and that it inspires you to buy one!
