Hey all,

thought I'd sent my first post on here by saying hello.

Just got rid of the TVR Tuscan and have taken delivery of a 360 Spider. Absolutely love it.

Here is one pic I will upload more when I have them

cheers
John

Congratulations on your new Ferrari!! Great looking car. I like the modular wheels on that as well. Reminds me of my old 360.
Sound wise how do you find it compared to the monster sound of the TVRs?

Good question about the sound. I find my Gallardo very tame compared to my T350.

Love it in red!

Hi There,

The TVR was a complete barking mad RAW!!! (Which I really miss also no pops and bangs!) the 360 is extremely tame compared but when you get to 7/8K revs it howls and when going through tunnels etc it is an awesome sound. I am looking into a Tubi/Capristo or Larini all stage 3 exhausts I do want it really REALLY loud! as it is nice summers day car.

If there are any cheap ones out there let me know!

With regards to the Modular wheels I'm not massivley fond of them and prefer the "Standard" 5 spokes, but with the money I had to spend I had to comprimise! it has everything else though so well pleased wouldn't mind doing a swap with the wheels for some standard ones may do a topic on it

Reminds me so much of my old 360, that it might well be my old car - whats the inside look like?

On the exhaust front, the Capristo's are all the same noise when the butterfly valves open up. Its just the idle sound that is louder or quieter. Can't comment on the other ones.

Just a thought. I'd get the quiet one at idle as they can drone when you're stuck in traffic.
Noise with a decent exhaust though is just epic.

Not so sure personally... The Modulars are nice wheels and everything, but IMO they don't really suit the rounded lines of the 360... Think the 5-spokes fit better.

Same spec, you can tell if it was mine because it had a customised Sat/Nav installation

I had a tubi on my 360 and thought it was incredible - great mix of not too loud and not boomy, but if you wanted the howl/scream it was there in spades....definitely recommended
