Why wouldn't it ...

Juan Carlos Damonte to be honest I rather have the 348 rather the Mondial 8

I mean.... who hates Ferrari????

Mini Testarossa

Of course it is a gorgeous car its a FERRARI!!

Meh, the 328 was much more elegant

That's why I got mine cheaper. Not complaining. 24K miles on it and did 160 mph two Saturdays ago on the autostrada. Not to mention that it's a chick-magnet. Their loss, my gain!

100 feet from 60 is excellent.

The 'looks' are terrific - the maintenance bills were horrific. This car model had more Factory Service Bulletins than the Space Shuttle. 348 sales were so poor, the car almost bankrupted Ferrari. I knew owners who traded-in their 'new' 348s on 328s because the car was so bad...

I was just thinking how much I hated this Ferrari. Great minds lol

@@MichaelJames-lz7ni in that period there was a big crisis in luxury cars. Porsche was almost in bankrupt too because sales in america were declined by 50%. Mercedes saw a big decrease too (40% if i remeber correctly). In every market ferrari lost 20-30% in sales. The testarossa at the time was pretty old, the mondial wasn't a big commercial success, and the only new model was the 348. For the first 2 and a half years sales were really good. They sold over 3k cars in 1990/1991, i believe, and it was a record for them. The 348 was very well received when launched. From the end of 1989 to the end of 1992, ferrari sold 8/9k cars, and were sold 6k 348s in that period. In 1991/1992 the crisis hit and it was a hard time for ferrari, they stopped selling the mondial, the testarossa became 512tr and sales went down. Lamborghini was selling 300 cars each years at the time! Were sold more 348s than 328s, more 348s than testarossas, more 348s than mondials. The maintenance on the 348 was expensive (more than the 328), especially because of the timing belt sostitution. But 355s maintenance is as high as 348 is, if not even higher (because it has electronic suspensions and in some models have paddle shifter too). If a car is bad just because when it was sold the company was financially bad, it would mean that 1960s ferraris, 1990s lamborghinis, 1990s porsches, new alfa romeos, aston martins, ... are horrible cars

Trades46 well said. Most people criticing the 348 just follow the bandwagon and have no clue or personal experience.

New models have 7 years free servicing now. Then the dramas start 😉

Funny you should mention Montezemolo - he owned one, and hated it. His experiences with his 348 led to the development of the 355....

@@MichaelJames-lz7ni the 355 shared the same chassis as the 348 (and many other components), with just a couple of changes due to have more power. A 348 was used to develop the 2 protype cars of the enzo. It wasn't used a 360, a 355, a f50 or a 328, but a 348. I read almost 15 news papers and 13 of them talks good about it, and 2 not. One of them is car and driver. They tested a 348 and it had bridgestone re71 (stock tires, and they weren't good) and a weird setup that other owners had too, and the car was horrible. About the set up, I also read that a owner sent the car to a ferrari dealership saying that it had big handling problems (the same mentioned by c&d). The mechanic then set upped the car with the reccomended parameters from ferrari and switched tires (as ferrari was reccomending) to bridgestone expedia s01. Then the car was much much better. The other one is an australian news paper and he said that the 348ts chassis isn't as stiff as a 1997 nsx. One has targa roof, the nsx not, so it is normal that the coupe chassis is stiffer The other 13 have just good words to say about it. There are italian, english, americans, germans and australians news papers from 1990s and modern too

Yeah you can really do the engine out belt service in diy fashion 😂😂

I feel you 😅

Oh no he wasn't. It's now starting to appreciate like crazy.

Northern Mockingbird, Eastern US subspecies

Too bad tavarsh didn't buy this in stead of hoovies BBQ 355 lol

Serby adjusted to inflation, you can still get one for a similar price.

You'd need $35K to get it running right in 2019....

How much now?

Dorkiest statement I've read in weeks.

NICK G07 it's a mini Testarossa :)

NICK G07 Ass man?😉

Yes. I have always loved those grill-style tail lights.

Pelleministeri anyone else liked the ones on the Suzuki Swift GTi in the 90s ? 😂

Every car with those kinda lights look cool. Retro

I have a 348 too now for some time, and I must admit that I've gotten used to it.

Does the Toyota go 175 mph and look and sound beautiful?

@@jokesonyou1253 yes

CarNutz look up Bajabusta on Google. He has a bunch of episodes motorweek blocked on KZfaq.

Jason Clark Yea he is. Poor guy.

packofhounds ...and I dont think Thomas Magnum would have liked it anyway.

My Accord 2.0T is even faster :)

Yeah but you don't need dark window tints in the Ferrari.

The new 2.0t is slower than the last V6, lower on power too.

Not the auto.. its faster

It's splitting hairs but C&D got their '13 v6 to 14.0@103 vs 14.1@102 for '18

The 360 Modena & 550 Maranello were cool also!!!!

@@celticsdude no they weren't 🙄

Really don't have a clue, do you?

yeah, my neighbors 458 looks just like Vette coming my way.

@@johnbarnes7716 I can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic, but I would never mistake a 458 for a vette of any generation, even the C8. Stuff like the California or the portofino though I can agree on. I seen a portofino coming my way and I thought it was a C7 corvette.

@@bbc_junior4863 I own a 1994 348 spyder. I just climbed out of it. It's a gas. I was referring to the look of the headlites. When they are oncoming, from a distance, I hope to see a 458, but alas, it's another Corvette. Sorry. Maybe it's my old eyes.

Chris Weber unfortunately this one isn’t a magnet at all these days. You need a 360 or newer for that.

Absolutely. When cold, you wonder what possessed you to buy one. Once the oil temp needle gets up from the peg, you get it. And smile……...

The F1 is a pile of shit, so why?

ErwinSchrodinger64 it still does with Ferrari, but not always displacement and cylinders. Unlike BMW or Mercedes now.

Ungodly good or ungodly bad

The t stands for transverse gearbox. The engine is longitudinal.

For those of you praising the car because you gotta bj in one. You were trying too hard, but you get what you deserve with gold-diggers ya douches. Ripped off twice.

Damn straight 👌

Ferrari's are not tuned for drag racing, they are tuned for track racing. A Syclone would get its ass handed to in stock for stock against this 348 on a track all day err day

ReelOne until you throw an IROC at it on the same track and the Ferrari turns into an overpriced joke. IROCs earned their title, and a 5.7 would sniff right at the ass of that Ferrari, for way less money.

Flat plane V8s typically sound like a beefed up 4 cyl

kano b YES

kano b I use to play cruisen usa all the time on n64

Gregory Pappas I remember my brother and I playing that at the laundry mat lol

This rari had 50% more power than the GSX and weighed less. The Eclipse was also just a jazzed up FWD economy platform, the rari, a bespoke mid engine platform.. Doubt their performance was that similar. Except, maybe the 0-60 times were close thanks to the GSX's AWD jumping it off the line quickly

bliglum Yes, the 0-60/qtr mile was within a second of the Rari.

That 348 will get more pussy that an Eclipse no matter what era.

zerocool 😂😂

Brian McKoy Where are those shit boxes?

Why he say it like that?

@@pepster85 accent

Older cars were smaller, and i can tell you it looks really impressive in person, small as it may be

They didn’t build exotics to 0-60 well back then. They were meant to perform at speed. Many 200mph exotics had 5 second 0-60 times.

The mr2 turbo was slower than the 348. Maybe it had a slightly faster 0-100, but when speed gets higher, the ferrari overtake the mr2 Without a doubt the mr2 was really great, especially for its price. But the ferrari is faster

A P It was tested by various sources to be faster in the 400m. How much room does the Ferrari need to establish its dominance?

@@negativeindustrial the 348 can do 400m in 13.2 A mr2 turbo stock how take to do ir?

redthorn 2000 this car couldn't even dream of 200mph... not near enough hp for that.
