The 458 on the right of the second pix was driven in from Chicago and hot lapped on the track. The guy has been the orginal owner for over a week now. Talking to the guy I got the impression this car will be driven alot. The second 458, the guy owned it for about a month and said between track runs and the road he would put on about 2000 miles a year, it was his 7th Ferrari.

I know someone who is working crew on the 458 challenge series, they're erupting in flames at the track just like on the street. They're the gift that keeps giving for people in the Ferrari repair biz.

HaHa that's pretty funny, I will stick to my 360, I drive it most everyday (except snow) and so far with 71300 miles on the odometer its been trouble free.

I'm looking for a good used 360 Spider as we speak, (for a friend). They're great cars and it seems that the ones that are driven do very well.

A friend ran in the novice group in his NSX, and said he had a blast.

Tecnically, "Imola Orange" which changes a bit in different light conditions.

Yes, a factory 2002-2005 color and pretty rare.....so you don't see it very often.

I am pleased to see this. I have always thought the 360 was a beautiful car. Now it seems, it's also a good CAR, meaning running/driving/reliable.

Sweet.
