i am not saying it doesn't have any, it just doesn't have as much as a ferrari does in the 50 years it has been around

Considering the Corvette is a single car - and Ferrari is an entire company - I would hope that Ferrari has more racing heritage than the Corvette as a car.

However, when it comes to single model lineage, the Corvette is only ousted by VW Beetle - and apart from Herbie - has no racing heritage.

I think the longest running streek for a Ferrari model is about 7 years - with the successful racing chassis being redesigned EVERY year to compete - whereas the times that Corvette (again a single model - not a company) has gone racing, it has kicked ass with the same model a couyple years in a row - and when doing so was based on the STREET car, which was then changed for street car reasons and the racing Corvette would then come back and begin winning again.

So - it is rather difficult to dismiss the heritage thing - so lets call it a wash as well.

SO now we come down to it that the 360 does not even have a unique or lengthy racing heritage afterall, and is still over priced, easily out performed and really common.. :shock: :shock:

I guess it is not really that greta of a car afterall...

cool cars
too bad the first "GT3" isn't a real one...(backseats,"GT3" is placed a bit to high,...)

Nice pics, thanks man.

lol @ RC45, why do you continue to dispute that the vette is the best car ever made and no other car ever can beat it? Fair enough, that's your opinion, but saying the 360 is a bad car is just dumb. I'd take the 360 anyday of the week, it's one of my favourite road cars and has arguarbly one of the best sounding engines currently in production, and comes on top of a fair few out of production too, especially the CS.

Thats what you are saying. I am not saying the Z06 is the best car ever. I am telling you all that in the segment that the 360 occupies it is far from the "clear leader".

In fact - for it's price and "exclusivity" it is mediocre at best..

I am wondering from what point of reference y'all speak... I am actually telling you that the 360's I have come across had tried to "school" me in the ways of the "Heritage" and ended up losing..

Well - other than morbid curiosity - the 360 really does nothing for me - and I am guessing the fact that in order for the 350 to claw it's way out of the masses it needed to be rebuilt as a bare bones almost race only car - all to take on great all rounders (that beat it soundly) like the 911TT. the GT3 and the Z06...
