370 is whole 10 greater than 360.
Even bad ferrari's are expensive collectibles. It doesn't make sense to trade. Might as well add the Z instead of trade. AND TRADING A FERRARI??? Nuts... you sell a ferrari. Then he gave the guy 3k over sticker. At minimum. I would have paid 46k out the door if not cheaper. Especially while Sports cars of NOT IN PEAK season right now.
Another thing, by selling a 360 to a newb rich guy. He coulda gotten 70k-100k and have a Nismo with KW 3/Robispecs,Volk wheels... high end aftermarker camber,endlinks etc... and a stillen supercharger setup with the remaining money.

You're stuck on how bad the modena is and not its monitary worth in the exotic arena.

I would keep the Ferrari just to wreck p***y on Friday nights. Trust me, the Z will NOT get ferrari attention.

i personally would rather date the girl at starbucks over meghan fox, she probably has better qualities than meghan fox ever would but in reality it all boils down to personal preference

while i agree for the most part that you never trade a ferrari, you sell one
i would disagree about the attention that a Z can get, especially a nismo Z, where i live, you see exotics so often that they just become part of the background(most common ones i see are lambos, ferraris, maserati, lotus, and bently) but you almost never see a nismo 370z and being someone who owns one, i notice when people are checking out my car when its at a red light, driving by the mall, and noticing people turning heads when i drive by people and even sometimes when im stopped at a red light and someone is crossing the street, i get compliments on the car

now im not debating that exotics are better pussy magnets than the nismo 370z is, what i am debating here is street cred(or what ever you want to call it) and imo those exotics are becoming to common for them to really have street cred(well less than the amount of street cred they use to have) anymore(again where i live, its gonna be a whole different story when you like in a small town with no exotics and you see one of those roll up to your local grocery store)

My buddy drives a 360 Spyder and its handling and sound is so special that I really must hand it to the OP, to make the tough decision she did.

Slightly off topic..........saw a sweet 89 testarossa at a local walmart (its true) yesterday. Mint condition. Wouldn't trade the z for it, though.

Fine, she has the same exact personality as Meghan Fox in this fictitious scenario, only she's not as hot, but do-able.

well if thats the case, than you would be stupid not to choose meghan fox lol

in reguards to OP though, if this isnt a troll and this is true
he got ripped off big time and if i was in OP's scenario, i would have sold the ferrari, bought a nismo 370z outright for 35-38K and twin turbo it w/boltons and a stroker kit just because

Pretty interesting to trade a Ferrari in for a Nissan. I'm sure the Ferrari was a high-maintenance car, so it must be nice how a Z requires very little to run.

The appearance of the 370z is somewhat exotic & it's a rare Japanese sports car.

Enjoy the Nismo! ! ! I found it difficult/intimidating to drive at first, but that makes it rewarding when you learn how to drive it well.

The Z is a p***y magnet. No denying. I own one too. But you can't compare a Z to a Ferrari,PERIOD. I don't care if both cars are the only two cars on the planet in the town of wackydoo, ID with a population of 20.. A ferrari is a ferrari..

well no duh, one is an exotic, the other is a sports car, even if performance is the same, the exotic is more desirable then the sports car ever will be

im just talking about the attention they receive while driving down the road if you know what i mean, its kind of like seeing a rusted up rat rod driving down the road, that will turn more heads than a ferrari enzo will
