It was a 360 Modena F1.

:D

Update 5/2/05:

I went down to his office to have his staff help me with a major snafu occuring with the title company. On my way in, their entire staff was heading out for group photos. He and I talked a bit about my problem, then he asked me to wait a bit until they are done.

I asked him if it would be okay if I took pics of his car. He said driving it is better than looking at it, threw me the keys and said not to come back for awhile. :D 15 minutes later I return with a big stupid grin on my face. What an awesome car!

So for all you people who declared shens here's pics of the 360 next to my Crossfire. Enjoy.

That's a really stupid question...

Actually I drove my cousins F355 with an H-BOX. I didnt like it AT ALL. the clutch was way to hard, and shifting was not half as smooth as his porsche. It is just not a daily driver by any means while his Carrer 4s was so smooth and easy.

He's uploading the screenshots; you've gotta give him some time.

He's probably trying to make sure the shots on the TV don't have too much glare.

Umm, everything you said is exactly what I would expect from a Ferrari. What did you expect?

It was much faster than I expected... which is hard to say, but it moved. The F1 transmission was jerkier than I expected, but it was cool to keep it floored and fly through the gears. The brakes are incredible... there were a few times I thought we were going to run into another car as the owner was showing it to me, but the brakes brought that thing to a quick stop.

It is silver with black interior.

It belongs to my realtor.
