Ferrari is a benchmark, but the 360 will certainly not go down as one of their finer cars. Local 360 prices are cheapest of the bunch & way below 355 pricing. The 430 that replaced it, was better in every aspect & the 458 that replaced that, is one of the nicest cars ever made. I love the LFA, but in Aus, you can buy 2x458's for the price of an LFA. If I were deciding between the two, guarantee I'd end up levitating to the 458, despite Toyota/Lexus loyalty.

Oddly enough when I bought my IS-F I was surprised at how much it reminded me of driving a 360 F1 in terms of power/ acceleration, braking, engine noise, and transmission performance. I haven't driven many sequential manual/ "high performance" automatic (i.e. the ISF 8 speed) cars before, but for two cars that seem quite different on paper they offered similar thrills.
The ISF is a 10x better value than a 360. I echo the comments on maintenance - $7k clutch which needs replacement every 10-20k miles is just one of many expensive services.

I don't know about 360, but I've run few times with a 2006 F430 scudeira and I can tell you that from 0mph has more acceleration so it will take time to pick him up, but rolling from 50mph, he had never beat me, and we did 151mph and stayed behind me. My car is stock.

My dad has a 360 with capristo exhaust and he usually likes to avoid me when we are out. He always trash talked the F and he always would say that my car wouldn't stand a chance against the 360. One day it just so happened that we were on a stretch of highway "in mexico" with both cars and he decided he would try to punch it to get away from me, we went from like 50 mph to 120mph and I had no problems reeling him in. His tune changed after that day lol!
My F only has borla catback on it.
One thing you can not take away from the 360 is the sound. It is absolutely incredible with exhaust!
