In the late 90’s I was wearing hearing protection while mowing the lawn of a commercial storage facility. I heard the roaring sound of what I thought was a jet aircraft and I looked up from the lawn only to see a red Ferrari 355 eastbound on the nearby 4 lane divided highway. The 355 was in the left lane passing other cars as if they were standing still. I’m guessing it was going at least 120mph in what was at that time a 60mph zone.

They developed it with a race driver of the F355, whom gave it their blessing. Would love to have one of these.

When you mentioned Pininfarina, it took me back to 1981 when I was a lad of 25 years. I had the opportunity to acquire a brand new 1981 Fiat Spider 2000. It had both the Fiat badge as well as the Pininfarina badge. My friend at the time said this is the same coach builder for Ferrari. A little later Pininfarina produced basically the same car without the Fiat badge for a lot more money. One of my Chefs had the same car as well and we used to race them all over South Jersey, Philly, and especially Bucks County PA. Loved Bucks, awesome winding roads, and one lane bridges. When that car ran(always in the shop)it was beautiful, wind in your face awesome. Doug, maybe you will see one and want to review it. There was even a turbo model for the 2.0L double overhead valve power plant. That would be a rare find because a lot of the turbo Fiats got wrecked. Thanks Doug

@@NeutralinoI think a lot of the unreliability complaints come from the number of manufacturer defects (factory exhaust headers WILL melt, soft valve guides on early cars, spider potentiometer for the top, F1 vacuum pumps can fail), and infrequently driven cars. My dad has owned a 98 355 F1 for 13 years, and yes, the maintenance is expensive. But in my experience it is not unreliable when driven regularly. I put about 10k miles on it in the first 5 years he owned it and the only actual problem we ever had was a coolant leak. It's been driven hard the whole time, too. Always rev it out to 8500 after warming it up.

Good overview - I agree with almost all of it. "It isn't a Porsche" is pretty much the reason I got a 355 - not because I dislike Porsches, I have several, but because of variety. And also the steering is pretty weak - both in terms of feel and steering wheel angle... And yes, they do have maintenance issues all the time - and not just the belt changes, headers and guides - I have had damper actuator issues, HVAC issues, fuel distribution and sensor issues. Overall, I probably do 2-3X more maintenance on my one F355 as I do on my 5 Porsches and 1 Aston Martin combined... But none of it has been terrible or expensive, just a lot of little things. If that doesn't scare you, well, if you have the means, I highly recommend it.

I've recently been wondering if in reality the 348 would be the one to have for the steering and chassis feedback compared to the 355, but this is a good reminder of just how gorgeous the 355 is. It must be possible to replicate the 348's steering in this because the size and weight are similar/identical and front end (at least) geometry probably no different. Also, maybe...some lovely passive suspension setup but that would depend on how the 355 feels, it might already be great. I will never know! But thanks Doug, this love letter of a video has put the 355 back in strong contention for my fantasy garage!

Brilliant review.....This guy is absolutely spot on in his appraisal of the F355. Never was a fan of the drop-top. It lost some of the beautiful Pininfarina coupe styling. I bought a white one to replace my white Testarossa (which I kept for my collection). I loved every minute of it, except the maintenance. It was so labour-intensive (Ferrari admit that) that I must have spent a lot more than the purchase price on maintenance throughout the years! It was ludicrous!! They sorted that out with the F430 onwards, thankfully. I didn't replace it till I got a 458 (white again). All the others inbetween just didn't give me the Fizz. It's just so beautiful! Yes, it's slow, not particularly good handling and the steering and brakes not much better than my 1967 330 GTS, but that's not the point! It was the smile on my face!😊 I still get in it and drive it on special occasions, and the looks I get is just priceless. Only my Testarossa gets more attention. So I recommend, if you can, definitely buy one......only have very deep pockets to keep it going!

355 are not unreliable, they are just poorly maintained!! As her maintenance is complicated, there are rarely any with well-maintained!! Curiosity, the first European units made in 94, have more hp than those made later, about 400hp, they are even faster than the normal 360

@justinsorci5998 9 ай бұрын

The engine doesn’t have to come for the cam belt replacement. The easier alternative method is to remove the fuel tank, and that provides the space needed to access the cam belts. The motor only needs to be lifted slightly with a floor jack (if you’re doing the service with the car on jack stands), or a screw jack (if the car is on a car lift) to allow clearance over the metal cross brace to fit a socket onto the crank pulley bolt.

They're great but the Berlinetta is the one you want. The convertible doesn't look as pretty. You lose those classic buttresses. The Targa roof doesn't fit well, can leak, squeaks and creaks as the car flexes. Both have scuttle shake because of the loss in rigidity and it affects their handling. The Berlinetta is the dream for me.
