Now, as to the 355. I'm certainly no expert, but I've seen quoted 0-60 times of around 5.3 seconds. Nice car, and it's a Ferrari, but it'd get it's clocked cleaned by a 2006 Boxster S. So, in the end you'd just be paying for prestige. Now the 360 is a whole 'nother story....

I am not sure where you got the info but ......
Performance wise 355 and 360 are very close....
355 clocks at 4.5sec. 0 to 60.... and about 185Mph top speed.
I assure you there is not Boxster 06 or even 07 ( not boosted up ) that can even be close.
I have a Boxster S, which i truly love, and i used to own a Ferrari 328GTS in the past, i drove the 355F1 several times, i know what i am talking about.
Anyway, all of you guys are right when you talk about driving daily.
Ferraris are not daily driving cars... and very expensive to mantain.
A blast and a privilege to own one.... simply fantastic.
