Yes the power curve makes is seem slower but, its not.

The rarri feels detached. I dont feel like i have full control like the evo. The steering is way slower on the rarri, which i think adds to its horrible feel.
I disagree. The steering in the 360 is equal if not better than the evolution. It feels tight and nimble.

Simple things like seating position are not well thought out in the rarri. I mean, in a stock evo its pretty bad too, but put a lower seat in there and it couldn't get better.
Did you drive a coupe or spider? How tall are you?

The clutch on the rarri is less than user friendly, and i've never had anything but a stock clutch in the evo, but its not bad.
What is your definition of "user friendly". Are you talking about driving in traffic? Clutches are different on every car. You just have to get used to it. Yes, it might seem firm at first but, you will get used to it.

The evo on super racings feels much more planted and compliant (i'll admit it was setup fairly well). I'm sure the rarri could use a setup, but as it sits, it does not feel good.
LOL

One thing i will admit, the Ferrari sounds unbelieveable. And that is on stock exhaust. I have heard that straight pipes on that thing make it sound like an F1 car.
I agree with you

Another thing to note is that the evo is obviously a lot less expensive to maintain. The 360 had to visit the dealer (the only place you can have it serviced if you want to maintain the records) for a new clutch, timing belts, motor mounts, and a few other odds and ends including some warranty work. The bill was just short of $16k. That's a lot of money, i dont care who you are!
Its all relative. 3k on your evolution is the same as 16k on the 360. If you can afford a 120k+ exotic sports car the last thing on your mind are the maintenance fees. You have to pay to play.

I recently put a quaife, rebuilt the bottom end and put in a lightweight flywheel for about $3k in the evo. Of course i did most of the work myself, but that is not even an option for the 360. If you do, the resale goes through the floor.

Any day of the week, i would rather drive a stock evo with $5k worth of parts (bringing the total of a new car to around $35k, than drive the $120k Ferrari.

I'd like to get my hands on a GT3 and do the same comparison, but one of those hasn't been forced on me quite yet.

FWIW, I like the Evo.
