That is a very unwise thing to do to an F355. Those engine bonnets have very little supporting structure.

That’s too much variation. You have a lemon...err.....“remon.” Time to ask for your money back, or at least $5.

All exotic cars are objects of irrational desire and even more irrational consumption. Only people who can’t afford it will attempt to downplay your ride by saying something else is faster, or by asking inane questions like “Why didn’t you get a _____ instead?”

People are focused on numbers because people are becoming less and less able to afford cars.

Agreed. I am not aware of Seoul’s system being the first in anything or having features not found elsewhere. It’s well-run like many systems throughout Asia, and they keep up with the advancements that are pioneered elsewhere.

The F355 and (to a more limited extent) the 360 produce a glorious second harmonic that was unlike other Ferrari V8s. It was next best thing to a real F1 spinning at 5-digit RPMs.

I would be very awkwardly quiet at the thought of a V6 Mustang owner attempting to “keep its value.”

Buying a Supra as a garage queen is something I will never be able to understand. Even if I bought this thing at some reasonable price, I would still slowly accumulate miles as a sports car is meant to be driven with the proper care and maintenance.

That Testarossa picture. So much want.

That Ferrari topped a brand survey, over Apple, is very telling.

This is what the Challenge participants are paying for. A chance to race as a hobby. n00b driving is expected.

You bought a project car and made it a keeper. Congrats on the decision and happy motoring. The last-model-year body kit is a unicorn!

Ugh. I don’t like the TR’s non-period-correct wheels. Needs thick spokes.

As much as white TRs have been on TV screens, it still looks the best in red.

Any Ferrari would look good in that blue. Is that Blu TdF?

I’m all for actually putting miles on Italian exotics. Drive them, maintain them, restore them when stuff gets old. Give it the street time and the open mountain roads that it deserves, and the good old Italian tune-ups are good for the engines if done properly.

Also, the stock suspension of the F355 is super soft. It still handles well and is fairly nimble even by modern standards, but body roll, dip and squat are pronounced. It wasn’t until the 360 when Ferrari finally had a super-stiff aluminium structure that spring and damper rates went up and cars became stiff.

You seem to be an expert, so I’ll take your word for it.

I’m not sold on the white F355, but that blue 512TR and the 599SA are making me just a little jelly right now.

And what of the old ones? The ones that no longer have factory-made replacement parts? Do you really want to risk blowing an engine on a BBi 512, or stuff that CF bodywork of an F50 into a tire wall? You will have destroyed not only your big-dolla statusmobile, but also the chances of an impressionable child to ever…
