Good reply to the stupid article. I also own a 355 since some years and have hade just some few not costly problems with it. I really enjoy the value increase with more than 109% in just a few years. What other car does that?

I’m sorry, but you’re full of it. Full disclosure: I own a F355 and am an independent exotic mechanic with decades of experience.

“Valve guides aren’t necessary for any year except 1995” is a running joke with 355 owners. They are absolutely necessary on 1996-1998, and some people even say 1999 cars had the bronze guides too.
