Been looking at getting a 34 GTR but the good ones are still quite high up and not too far from a 35 GTR - at least here in Japan anyway.

For a similar amount, I can get myself a 2008 35 GTR or a 2001 F1 Modena 360. Not sure which way to go as I would like the technology of the GTR but a 360 is tempting...

Your thoughts?

It's all a question of preference. Ferraris don't really do much for me, so I would personally take the R35 GTR. Having said that, if we were talking about an old Lambo like a Diablo or something similar, I'd take the Lambo in a heart beat.

So, if you love Ferraris, get the 360.

Personally I love the GTR as its very unique where in live Gold Coast, seriously there are so many Ferrari's here they are common, porches are twice as bad they are extremely common here. Too many rich old men retire here I guess.

Anyways the standard Modena's look dated if you ask me, probably because i've seen so many of them over the last few years.

But that one you posted a photo of looks sick because its got a nice bodykit & new big BLACK mags. Looks modern and cool i'd take that over a GTR. Even if you get a standard one you can bodykit it and new mags and your good to go.

Worst part about the GTR is it quiet, super quiet like a mouse, it takes 'some' of the thrill out of the car, (imagine a rollar coaster with ear plugs in, not quite as much fun). You need to spend money on a exhaust to find a good pitch note to make it sound good.

You don't have that worry with a Ferrari engine sitting behind you like in the Modena. I'd probably still take the GTR, just because I need a daily driver car and this is the perfect daily driver you can go anywhere it and its still a supercar to have fun in. I don't really fancy picking up Noodlebox in a Ferrari.

You will need to own both ..........Buy the one that represents as a better purchase first and then

own/drive it until the other becomes available at a must buy price.......

No such thing as a perfect Car as they are all so different .......so why not own/test as many ..............

PS: Naturally you sell one before you buy the other....

The Stradale is a very different beast to the base model, though, so it really depends on what one you're looking at.

Basically, if you're single, buy the F360, if you're married get the R35 haha

HAHAHA! +1 i like the way you think.

    • Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.
    • Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.   
    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
