That was one of the most poignantly written articles about the car I have read though. Elegant almost. I like the part in the beginning:
"I have a $150,000 sports car in my parking garage, a handcrafted machine produced overseas in limited numbers. Next to it, I have a U.S.-made Ford Mustang GT, armadas of which will be sold for as little as $30,500.
I tested both the day before, so which to take out today just for the thrill?
“The ‘Stang, please,” I tell Paul and Hector, my trusty garage guys.
Paul raises his eyebrow. Seriously?"
Mustang FTW!

I think the differences are marginal if you start to consider the difference in price. Interesting nonetheless..
The
Ferrari 360 Modena
was made from 1999 to 2005. It replaced the Ferrari F355. It is offered in both coupe and convertible form named "Spider". This is the first production Ferrari to be constructed entirely in aluminum, making the car much lighter and faster. It has a mid-engined mounted 3.6L DOHC 40 Valve V8 producing 400 horsepower and 275 lb-ft of Torque. The V-8 is located just behind the drivers seat and has a 8500 RPM redline. Weighing only 3064 lbs. tests have been as low as 3.9 seconds from 0-60 MPH and a top speed of around 190 MPH. To showcase the wonderful engine it can be seen from the outside through a clear glass cover.
