One of the greatest Ferrari's. A manual F355. I've had mine for 15 years already. A keeper and always special.

Great job. I converted my 355F1 to a manual. It was surprisingly easy but expensive.

Hi l bought my GTS in 2005 and was so so impressed with the car l bought a Spyder four years later! In early 2023 l had both serviced by Ferrari uk including cam belts,cam covers repainted, new fuel pumps, Sticky switches sorted, any corrosion sorted and various paint chips sorted! Having extended the belt by 6 years both cars are good to go for another 6 years. The cost per car was £6000 which works out £1000 per year! If you can’t afford the maintenance don’t buy!! For the record both are yellow the correct Ferrari colour with red interiors sports exhausts , 2.7 monotonic and manual shift! In my opinion the prettiest Ferrari ever produced and therefore will never sale them!

What I really love about these videos is how well researched they are. Everything is checked for accuracy to make sure it's 100% right. I saw a video not long ago about the Mustang SVO where the presenter kept claiming that the 2.3 turbo four in the SVO was more powerful than the 5.0 HO 302 in the GT and that made the SVO quicker and faster. Both were totally false. They had some great shots of the SVO but the inaccuracies detracted from the video as a whole. You can count on what's said here as being true. And I also thought the 355 looked better than the 348.

Incredible the number of commenters on here still claiming maintenance costs on the F355 are more than any equivalent high performance car of the era. If these cars are driven regularly and maintained by a qualified & independent garage they are a pleasure to own and run.

You could have just as much fun in a 93 civic si, wish I never sold mine, I got a 98 lx four door now but it’s an automatic and not even vtec it’s not the same, my 93 hatch had a built d16z6 and a short throw shifter god why did I sell that!

It's my dream to own a F355 Spider. Has a nostalgic & emotional attachment. At 8500rpm, Sounds incredible with a Tubi exhaust. People always mention the pet peeve of the engine out belt service.

Love the 355 Berlinetta, with its righteous gated shifter and mad 8000 RPM V8. They are however pretty fragile. Countless YT videos from owners spend BIG money and a lot of frustrations on this model. Expect to pay ALOT to keep one of these bad boys in good condition.

Most engine service is engine OUT ... very expensive. Ferrair fixed that on the 360, at least for timing belt replacement.
@GM-fh5jp Жыл бұрын
@@KrustyKlown Yeah the engines seem pretty robust and the cam belt replacement is annoying but not too horrid. It's all the other stuff that breaks...hoses, manifolds, clutches etc...a never ending list of small but expensive items. it's no Toyota ;)

FYI, the F1 is faster than the manual and a better bargain. The hydraulic actuator pump should be up graded to a 360 one and for a real symphonic thrill install a Capristo stage 2 exhaust and you'll think you're driving an Formula 1 car !

This is where Ferrari kind of lost me. Montezumallo was a cheasy guy. I wanted the brand to do more and did Glickenhaus. He had the money. I still just work on GA aircraft. Love it everyday! If I had the money it would not be that series. Honestly where I live the only Ferrari that would suit my needs is a full rally Lancia Stratos. Not the new one. The original.

"More than you can afford, pal. Ferrari." This model is drop dead gorgeous. The only problem is, it's overall a very petite, feminine-sized car.
