Well, not sure why you'd pick a car based on what we all suggest but here's my 2 cents:

Depends on what you want to get out of your car

GTR: can be a daily driver if necessary, practical (big trunk), can be driven in bad weather, will destroy that Ferrari (and most other Ferrari's) on the track, newer technology since it's a newer vehicle. Looks are subjective.

360 Spider: Convertible (if you like that sort of thing, chicks tend to dig them), it's a Ferrari so you get to say you own one (if superficial status symbols are important to you), almost everyone will agree it's a damn good looking car, will probably help you pull more chicks if that's what you need the car for.

Good luck with your decision, let us know what you go with and post pics.

I will give you my reasons for not buying a ferrari...and why i bought the gtr

1. 2003 360 is still uses belts
2. 2003 is older and i like the 430 better
3. for a decent 360 you will pay atleast 85 to 105 and of course for a 430 u need atleast 130 to 150 used of course but u would be getting 06 /07
4.Yes the gtr is not a ferrari
5. i would save your cash and wait to buy a 430 ..i know i didnt but in a couple years i will trade gtr and buy myself a decent 430

just my thoughts good luck.

I think it mostly depends on how much you are going to drive it. If you are going to drive it a lot then the post above will apply much more.

I would buy the GTR but wife loves the 360, thats why I can't decide which one I should get.

anyway,we end up use that extra money bought a investment house, so no more GTR or 360 for a while.

Really? I think we were all convinced that you would have bought one of them.

Almost, i had found 3 used GT-R for decent price and i almost jump into one of the deal. But the realtor called. Wife and i decided to go with the investment house.

Well,the good news is we have the house leased to someone already. So, hopefully i can get the GT-R sometmes next year. Or anyone would like to buy my CLS, so that i can get closer to the GT-R lol

A close friend and driving partner had a black 360 and let's just say he sold it within a year and bought a 2004 911 with mods. Sold that for a profit actually (lol) and now drives a 2005 QX56 (growing fam) and all he talks about his old 911... For me if money was no object i'd shop around for a F430 no doubt...
