That's a difficult one, because they're so different. I like the metallic shriek of the 360, it sounds so racy.  But sometimes the sound of the 360 could use a bit of a darker growling tune. It can be a bit harsh. So, if you listen to it for a longer period it can be a bit too much.
The Aston has that real V12 sound. Rich, complex and the dark tune. But can't really call it smooth, it sounds agressive and mean too. :x On startup it sounds almost like a mad dog barking. I love it.
I can't really pick a winner. But that says enough I think.

LOL! I know you think the 360's looks aren't good enough for the successor of the F355 (and I second that), but if you're that enthusiastic it sounds to me like plenty of reason to get one, Jabba!

BTW, Jabba, between the standard Modena and the Challenge Stadale's sound, wich one would you pick? Only the sound.

I know...I love the back of the car...the exposed engine....and the sound....I dont like the front...and I wish they could have made it alot quicker than the F355....how about 500 bhp...(could have done it for the stradale).....and I guess the F355 doesnt sound to bad with a tubi fitted...

Funny enough I thought the silver 360 sounded the best in your video TT (I presume it had a tubi fitted) not the stradale....

Yeh, obviously the Stradale's sound is pretty different from a normal 360 but I can't decide wich one is better! The Challenge is quite a badass beast though!

It's the front I have most problems with as well (as JC said: "that grinning face"). The headlights are too Porsche-like. The slightly longer nose of the challenge stradale looks a bit better as well. I have to say it depends on the colour too though. In Alloy (silver metallic with a touch of blue) it looks better than in red or yellow IMO. Same with black and blue. IMO the spider looks better than the berlinetta. Somehow the proportions seem better. What do you think about this?

Yep completely agree with you....and the spider looks just as good with the hood up IMO...where as on the 355 I think it looks crap....

Even if the car did sound nice, the interior is sound proof coated and you dont feel the power. It looks like it feels like a four door sedan. It just is not sporty. I guess that is why the "people buying this will be people who use pipes" is the comment on these cars.

i love the sound of the 360 it has a real "rasp" to it! is there anything special about the engine that gives it that unique sound?

It might not be as sporty as a Ferrari, but like a four door sedan?! You really need to see the Vanquish/575M test bij Jeremy Clarkson and Damon Hill. They both agreed the Aston is fast and sounded great. From inside the car...

Yes, they did. And they're probably right. I'd choose the 575M with Fiorano handling pack too. It was mainly the gearshift that ruined it for the Aston. Not the engine. Far from it...
