I might not be 100% right but the modena is the base version of the 360.
The stradale (or Challenge Stradale) is the more racing based version.No AC, better susp., a lot lighter, no comfort (bucket seats, etc). Different wheels and a couple of bodyparts are different.Not sure about the eng. maybe a couple of mods there too.

I'm good at this, it's Nissan.

GT-R: Gran Turismo-Racing (GT same w/o racing)

V-Spec/SpecV: Victory Spec

V-Tech: hmm... maybe victory technology :?

Same goes with pretty much every company, their naming is based off the same idea.

A GT-R would usually have stiffer suspension, wider tyres, bigger wheels, more powerful engine when compared to a GT. GT-R's are typically more focused for track-type driving.

Answer to question no1:
Coz the girls themselves are too lazy to put it down themselves (they say they already work so hard... :wink: )

Answer to question no2:
As long as it doesn't come back showering on top of you it wouldn't be a problem (although I always go to the toilet )

Mk stands for Mark. Some use Generation. So Golf Mk5 is the 5th generation (new model) of Golfs.
