every time I see this car I think of that Nicolas Cage movie where he totals a yellow one at the end of a big chase scene.

the 355 is top in my book fore beautiful Ferraris but I'll take the technology and reliability of a 360, a big leap forward for the prancing horse.

That would be "The Rock." with Sean Connery. A cool scene but, when I think about it, the chase made absolutely no sense in the context of the film - other than make us go, "ooh, ahhh - Ferrari" which was OK.

My wife and I were walking down the main street in Waikiki Beach Hawaii and I heard a really nice sportbike coming up from behind just holding the rpm's at about 4,000. I turned to look as it went by and it was a yellow F355 spider! It probably had a Tubi exhaust on it. Definitely sounded AWESOME! My wife knows better. She didn't talk to me for about two minutes to give me a chance to calm down.

I'm glad you enjoyed the post SD987! I love cars and I love Vegas... so I love telling stories involving cars and Vegas!

I'm heading back to Sin City at the end of this month and looking forward to another automotive adventure. This time I'll be trying out the Viper SRT/10 (or possibly Carrera Cabrio). I'd like another Ferrari, but the 355 is still the best they've got.
