Nice review, thanks.

The overall softness of the newer Ferraris is somewhat of an annoyance,
because it almost relegates the Ferrari into the non exotic crowd for the
most part (especially the F1 equipped cars!).

The 430 and G car I drove were both F1/egear....very soft!

I never drove a 360, but I'd wager it's the same as a 430 in that regard.

Now the Challenge Stradale/Scuderia....that's a different story. :)
