be sure to include the list of "problems" you have with the 360. People like you always have a problem with something and need to whine about it. ::rolls eyes::

i noticed another post about heavy steering. i honestly don't get why that's such a prob? i don't mean to bash on the people who had/have difficulty turning the wheel, but as i stated in my earlier post, i'm sooo weak right now (i can only do like 30 push ups at most, but i used to take karate back in my high school days 
), thanks to my lazyness and being an engineer and all. however, from day one i was turning the wheel in the evo with 1 hand when parking. and that's after driving integra for 3 yrs (which is actually tighter than many cars out there). i do understand what the original poster likes about being able to flick the wheel in his s13 though.
i pity da foo' who can't turn the wheel!
i dunno much about the 360 except what i remember from the Top Gear review. Clarkson mentioned that when shifting with paddles the car jerks too much, not smooth shifts at all.

3. The steering effort is too heavy. I want it to be a little lighter. Yes, I know some people complained that it's too quick and too light, but not for me. Road feel is good, but I would like a little bit less effort for quick turning lock-to-lock.
4. The turbo lag is really getting to me. On-throttle response above 4,000 RPM is okay, but if I drop it a gear too low, it'll take a long time for the boost to come back.
5. Throttle response is poor. I attribute that to the high-compression motor. Comes with the territory, but I demand instant response.
6. The car tracks with cracks in the road easily. It's fine if you don't try to correct for it, but it can catch you off-guard if you're not careful.
7. The bumpsteer is getting too unbearable. Hit a little bump and the wheel gets jerked out of your hand. I wonder what the scrub radius is.
8. It weighs too much. You can feel the weight holding you back in tight corner (1st and slow 2nd gear corners) transitions. Best to induce power oversteer and pitch it in, or the car will understeer in the sharp transitions.
9. The car sits too tall. Cornering is flat, but you do feel some body lean and it can get floaty over rough pavement.
10. 3rd gear is too tall. 1st and 2nd are okay, but 3rd seems too flat. It needs to go up a tooth or two.
I'm still looking for faults

I think we have a pretty good start on your new list. Maybe you should use a top 15 for the Modena instead?
1. Price
2. Maintenance cost
3. Cargo area
4. Questionable engine reliability
5. No rear seats
6. Jerky transmission
7. Did I mention the price yet???

Ferrari What a POS, the entire car is made of Plastic, like a SATURN...
WTF? Look at the ride height, you'll hit and scrape like crazy. WTF? The power band is so high in the 3.6, I have to rev it, wah wah wah......

i'm sorry for not reading the 1st 9 pages of this...
but seriously, it's human nature, it doesn't matter how good something is...people will inherently find something to b*t&h about.
those people should be ignored... or shot... your call

Wow, reading this thread has been the most entertaining part of my day.
G6civcx, you are a f u c k i n b i t c h. Did Mommy and Daddy buy you your Evo and your STi? Are they going to buy you your NSX Zanardi edition? Do you even know who Zanardi is? If you can't tell me who Zanardi is, what he's done, what's happened to him and what he's doing right now, I'll tell you that you have as much business driving one of those cars as you have in a cage match with your 28" waist and 90 pound frame. I'm 6'1" and 270lbs and that seat is the most comfortable seat that has had the privilege of having my *** placed upon it. Bulk up a bit. If you need some help, try to contact Mr.'s Giambi, Canseco and Bonds. They might be able to give you some advice on how to make your little body turn into more of a man's body.
The chances of you finding a Zanardi NSX are about as good as me actually getting the chance to stick my size 12 boot firmly in your anus. And I won't even start with "...maybe a 360 Modena..." What a little b i t c h.
Basically, as has been stated before, go back to whatever Honda you crawled out from underneath. You disgrace the Evo, all Evo owners, and for that matter, you disgrace the STi as well. But at least you made me laugh.
And I am spent...
