jambo, 360 challenge looks good...

but yeh 355 is

if you get a 360 it'll just look like you're too poor to get a 430

if you get a 355, it's saying you made the choice to get a awesome car

There is a difference between making a 90bhp car look like a 105bhp one, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand a 150-240bhp into a 400+bhp Supercar

I'd LOVE a 360CS, my favourite sounding car and it looks the nuts

I'm unsure why more people don't buy ferrari 355's?

like people will pay say 30k on a m3, but 355 will cost the same?

Servicing cost is high? but can't you just service it yourself?

ok insurance + tax

but then it'd be

plus you could just get a shitty daily driver.

I just hope by the time i can afford one, they're not all ancient and shit.

F355 also makes simply the best noise ever! beats the hell out of 430 noise...

Well for one, MR2 Ferrari replicas go for £10k+, whats a Corsa B going to cost you? £2k tops? So its not really a fair comparison! and the Corsa wouldnt be much slower than an NA one anyway!!

Would you rather have an MR2 Ferrari replica than something in its price bracket, say an S2000, a TT or a 350z?

Gotta say i would much rather have an S2000 or a TT then an MR2/Ferrari replica.

At the end of the day you could spend thousands on it modifying it to such a level that only a complete anorac would be able to spot it was a replica but at the end of the day you would still know that its really only an MR2. It'd never have the feel of a 60k supercar.

You can replicate pretty much any part of that Ferrari apart from the noise!!

But still, deep down its an MR2.

and tbh the price it would cost to fully replicate a ferrari is probably close to the price of buying the real thing.

Give me a S2000 over a 355 rep any day!

point taken but thats the same situation as any modified car where 10k in one hit is alot where as 100 here and there isnt. no need to slag off every replica car. this site seems to hate them but imo they look better and are no doubt quicker than 90% of cs members cars

It's a £6.5k bodykit for an MR2 roadster apparently...

£6.5k, ffs, what a pointless exercise.
