360's are quick enough, they are quicker than 355's and Ive driven one of those and it was fast, and handled amazingly.

360's and 355's also rev very quickly, hence the early gear change. I was forever hitting the limiter in the 355

It caught me out when driving a 355 and I was behind the wheel. Hard to tell imo as they sound like they can go further through the revs then they already are. 8k doesnt sound like 8k even though it is.

gLOL, you really think because this is a corsa site there arent people here that own anything quicker?
360's upto 120 arent THAT quick, certainly not over that stretch...they dont handle too good either, certainly not under (or over) lift off
around castle combe my vx is easily 10 second quicker...there are plenty of novas around there that would see it off easy

Plenty of Nova's that would see off a Ferrari 360 Modena? Right. There is a reason why the motoring press rave on and on about these "not so quick cars".

benny you still havent answerd my question
A 400bhp nova might be quick in a stright line if it doesnt blow up and when it gets some traction but not around a corner.

FPMSL @ a nova it's hardly a comparrison to an exotic ferrari whether it's as quick in a straight line or not, i'm pretty sure ferrari spent more time than vauxhall with weight distribution, chasis design and overall handling than vauxhall did with the humble nova. Wonder how the cs woulld fair against the m5

0-60 4.5, 400bhp and 183mph top wack isnt that bad for a basic 360 model reason why your vx goes round castle coombe quicker is probably because your insurance, tires and fuel are a fraction of the cost of the 360. half the exoctic cars you see on track days being driven by the owner are no way being pushed to the limit and the ferrari 360 is no exception at £117,500 new. and bad handling? every review ive read gives the 360 5/5

Of course ive been in a modena, It was at a Ferrari track day at castle combe this summer....and i'll stand by what I said, it didnt seem to handle all that well, braking into quarry was all over the place
