That intro was pretty gay

I remember being in university years ago and seeing the prices of F355s being $60k and 996 Turbos being $40k and thinking "when I graduate and have money, these cars will be even more affordable for me." Now that I have graduated and have money, I can't afford these cars nor a home.

I’ll never forget the day I was driving down an Austrian mountain pass in 1997 when a 355 came around a corner going up in full drift, smoke peeling off the tires and a smile on the drivers face that sticks with me to this day.

My brother owned one just like this one. 1995 (build date Nov. '94) model, Berlinetta, red over black, six-speed gated manual, the euro-spec clear front blinker lenses, no Challenge grill in the back like some people do, etc. But he had a full Tubi exhaust, which this one doesn't sound like it has. He had the buttons/switches and dash vents redone to get rid of whatever the OEM sticky finish was. You guys have done an EXCELLENT job describing the driving experience. Spot on.

THE ENGINE CAME OUT 😂😂😂

That “more than you can afford pal” mashup was gold

This silver radio is a crime. Straight to jail.

The GMC Syclone bested the 348 during the Motor Trend testing in 1991, that was also a significant influence for Ferrari to go back to the drawing board.

These guys just do it better than anyone else on here

“Headlight change…?” James: “Engine out!” 😂

have had mine for 22 years now, still as satisfying driving my gated '97 GTB as the first day

It must be a real treat living in that area where they do a lot of these car reviews. "Oh boy! what are they driving today" , running to the window to press your face up to the glass in sheer excitement.

I have a 348TS with a Tubi exhaust and it’s the best driving (deafening) experience of all time. Can’t believe I own it honestly. The 348 steering is heavy until you’re moving, and then has that typical Ferrari lightness with lovely feel. It also smells incredible, transports me back to being in a workshop with my dad every time I sit in it. Honestly these things are magic, delicate, dramatic, small, complete timewarp. Wouldnt swap it for anything

You guys just bumped these cars back up another 25%

❤ My dream car! Fall 2008... 355's were all over ebay for $36k CANADIAN!!! I had just bought a brand new Toyota RAV4 for the same price in August, and was like, "I could have bought my dream car instead!" I'd still take a 355 GTS over any currently made exotic sports car. That 5 valve per cylinder v8 + proper manual gearbox = bliss! Loved seeing you guys drive this all over my usual cruising roads... a glimpse at an alternate timeline that could have been. 😁🥰

For the record, an engine out service once every 7 years is perfectly fine. Truth be told, the belts will last years longer but 7 years is good insurance.

Could've waited 1 more day to make the joke even better

8:51 how he says 5-6, then 6.30.. Got me there. Hilarious!

Guys... Thank you so much! I find it hard to express how much I love your videos. Heart full thank you from my little house in Denmark. Your humor and production value is so good, and have been for long. The "it's more than you can afford pal" was just one of the small things that makes your videos next level.

When he does the end piece voiceovers, Thomas is a really polished broadcaster.

The scream at the top end of the rpm's is so perfect, not that i will ever drive one (probably) i miss the mechanicality of the classic - modern classic supercars

the F355 in yellow is just pure

If you want to avoid the engine out for MOST things, get a 360. If you want to avoid it altogether, get a 430. I went with the 430 not just because it was the Ferrari V8 that came out when I got my license so it was a “poster car” for me, but also because you can pretty easily work on it yourself… which saves you a metric fuckton of money. You can also do a manual swap yourself for $10k if you want a gated manual without paying the premium for the stock ones. But a lot of the feeling of the 355 is still present in the 430… the interior is “far away” and spacious, it all feels light and delicate, it “dances” on the road… If you don’t mind the engine out maintenance, go for the 355. If you want things slightly more modern and reliable, 360. And even more so? 430.

Gotta appreciate the cinematography of these so much… prolly the only channel that captures the feel of the drive.

That GTI Rabbit gave some good memories of the road trip video! You guys need to do more Road trips!!!

Ferrari Might actually hand you a cease & desist order for that intro.

Best intro 😂 “what’re we celebrating for?“ “I dunno!”

Such a beautiful car. Timeless to people of my generation (I’m 40). The 355 had electronically controlled damper controls in the late 90s!! Not to mention redlining at 8500 again in the late 90s!! And that gated shifter… the clinks when shifting gears!!!

If I ever win the lottery a 355 GTS Right hand drive (I'm in the UK) has been right up there for years. GTS Targa roof off, a nice exhaust note drive would be amazing in one of these.

Every single video is better than the last. The presenting, the editing, the videography, the script, every part of the content is improved every time. Kaizen has to be one of your company values. Bravo guys.

As a valet parker in Newport Beach I got to drive one when they first came out and was amazed at how simple and user-friendly it was. The NSX was the only other car of the era that matched performance with easy-to-drive qualities. Love it!

Jeez a video that does this car justice. Really incredible guys, you are the best at what you do. Have a lovely weekend!

0:21 James delivers on that note omg. How dare he be that incredible. Harrison add this to the official throttle house soundtrack coming soon

This car will forever remain the most desirable Ferrari in my eyes. What a magnificent design ! 🤤

I purchased a 1995 355 with gated manual in red on tan about 6 months ago and this review is spot on. Fantastic job. Crazy how much they are worth now, but totally worth the price of admission. I have a GT4RS and its hard to determine which sounds better, but i think this takes the cake.

There are NO automotive journalists out there that possess the skill you two have, to capture the sheer pleasure of driving and and are able deliver it in a way that truly makes one feel… giddy 🫠 Keep the amazing content coming guys! Much love from India 🇮🇳

I guess it's like a boat. Always better when a friend owns one ;)

Why does Thomas point so aggressively at "You're watching Throttle House." 😭

lmfaooo knowing the context of the intro just makes it hilarious. what a fantastic video that I never would of imagined to have seen on the channel. Have always wanted one as a kid.

LMAO This is intro was TRECHEROUS. Lol Y'all are so unserious omg. Comedy Gold

Good lord that sound is magnificent.

The styling is SO GOOD. The 308/328 was such a sexy, light design, I feel like the 355 looks like that same design if it went to the gym and then showed up in a tight fit t-shirt. Still sexy but it's as if the shirt couldn't hold any more, it's full. They have real presence in person, and I agree, it's the first "modern" Ferrari. Nice.

I used to play the 355 Challenge game at the arcade for hours just to pretend to shift gears with the gated manual and to rev past 8k on every shift. What a game. I honestly prefer the 360 more but the 355 is really the era when I started to get into cars more. Can't believe they are back up to $150k+!

Great restomod option! The only real cons are the additional cost of the engine out maintenance and the need for a roll cage, bucket seats, safety harness and fire extinguisher to make it safer.

This is one of the coolest Ferrari they ever made

You guys are the amongst the top 3 quality car review channels. Keep up the good work! Lot of normie youtube videos are coming out on every car release lately without any substance. Don’t do that, continue with this good work! Hope your team grows!!! ❤

Okay, that intro joke was pretty funny 😆

Hearing a f355 screaming in person is something that not even the best engines today can replicate. The chefs kiss.

I saw the punchline of the intro coming from miles away, and it still made me snort 🤣

Now that is a proper V8 noise with some octaves! Bellissima!

The power of the 355 isn't the actual horsepower but the theatre of it all! I'm in the lunch room eating and I've had a couple of people pop their heads in to ask if I'm watching old F1. This car is drama on wheels. I'm lucky enough to have driven one and hearing these noises and knowing the sensation that James' is feeling brings me right back!! Great job TH!

Imagine being the owner of the car that Throttle House makes such a video about. I would fall in love again with the car and stop the sale: "you know what, I'm keeping it!"

That centre-mounted prancing horse on the rear is straight fire

It needs a Tubi exhaust system. Dang i miss my 355GTS. I remember when you could get them for 50Ks

Man, the 355 is way up there in my list of favorite Ferraris. I've only ever sat in one Ferrari, and it was a Yellow 355. Totally have a pic of it too, me sitting there with a grin from ear to ear.

Wow like if that opening line had you all rolling laughing 🤣Great review guys as always. You guys just nailing it, just the perfect mix of cinematic, entertaining and good details. One day I aspire to do a review together 👊

every episode that comes out i think "surely they cant out do this intro" and every video im proved wrong, hilarious intro 😂😂

This is the only Ferrari I'd ever want to own. The looks are astonishing.

That intro was wild 💀😂 this will be on the top 10 cold intros. Beautiful car, especially in that green which I'm glad y'all showed 👌🏽

This has been my dream car for a long time. The looks, the engine sound, & fun-to-drive factor make it a very desirable Ferrari to own. I've been hearing that you need to have a deep pocket to keep this car running...this is beyond the reach for a common man.

The engine out is blown way out of proportion. It comes out quite quickly in one big assembly together with the whole rear sub-frame, suspension, etc. It was made to come out easy it just looks dramatic with the car cut in half but when you commit to the process it is not a big deal.

That intro was awesome!

In that Jamiraquai video, the windshield fell out, and if you watch the video when they're in the Diablo, their hair is blowing around because theres no windshield! Apparently, it was freezing. Jamiroquai is awesome.

This one is aging so well, i actually think it looks better today than back in the day when it was new! I actually never liked it as a teenager but now 20 years later i love it! One of the most beautiful Ferrari ever actually.

The intro was indeed quite funny I agree with the other comments but what i’m not seeing enough of is appreciation to the whole throttle house team on how good they shoot and edit these videos. I feel like I’m in person experiencing the car with them the way they edit all of the shots in, from the back so we can hear the exhaust, the climbing rpms on the gauge, Thomas pushing the clutch in and grabbing another gear, it’s all extremely well shot and made. I never fully realized it until this video since I’ve been watching a lot of extra throttle house non sports car reviews from them recently, but this video is extremely well made. Thomas and James’ reactions to the car and driving experience really put it all over the top and you can tell when they are genuinely enjoying a really special car. Great video as always and can’t believe I’ve been watching you guys this long and just now understood all of the other hard work going on behind the scenes to give us the realest experience and review of a car without ever seeing it in person. Thanks again guys and keep it up I love watching all of the videos

James was smiling the whole drive! Says it all

Fantastic moving shots. You guys have amazing videos thank you so much.

I was an 11yo at Mugello in 1995 at Ferrari day, where Montezemolo came in driving the then brand new F50 around the track, and 3 of these 355s got erased in a crush entering the Casanova-Savelli...never forgetting that

I really don't know how all the manufacturers are completely missing the point that their older cars designed for drivers are skyrocketing in value. Car people want a car to drive, they aren't interested in automatic transmissions or television screens.

Bravo on the intro boys 👏🏾

The moment i saw the video i jsut had to click it instantly. This is my all-time favorite Ferrari, which makes it my all-time favorite car in the world. If given the choice of having any car ever made, it will be a 1996 Ferrari F355 Berlinetta 6-speed manual. Absolutely gorgeous, timeless classic. As for the video - top of the line quality as always guys.

I’ve never had the pleasure of really hearing a gated shifter before. Lyrical. Also, enjoyed the description of shifting like holding a wine glass. Brilliant. Something’s been lost with putting automatics in cars that are begging to be driven.

A curiosity, the 355 Europeans made in the first year, have more hp and less weight! They are much faster than the following ones! Love the 355

Old is Gold 🔥🏎️

Hi Throttle House Team,🤗 I just wanted to say a big thank you for all the amazing content you’ve been delivering to us non-stop! It’s been incredible, and we’ve been glued to our seats with premium entertainment. I got a car here in Winnipeg, MB, that I believe would make a great review video. If you could find the time to squeeze it in in your busy schedule, I’d love to see it! It's the Jaguar XJ portfolio 2012 model with a 5.0-liter V8 in Azurite Blue. I just love the amazing videos you've been putting out here. They're so entertaining, informative, and most of all, lots of fun to watch!❣

Asides from the engine-out service that you should do every 3-5 years, depending on how many miles you drive it, repairs can be a pain. The problem is that when parts need to be replaced, good luck finding them. You'll have to buy used ones and hope that they're not also defective. If you're willing to put all that aside, this is one of the most glorious classic Ferraris to drive, especially with a gated shifter and a Capristo exhaust with high-flow cats. The looks, the sound, the shifting, even the leather all make you feel like you're in something really special. Thanks for the great review!

Yes, the 355 is a classic Ferrari. It's a total shame the upkeep is so crippling. They were coming down nicely in price due to the nightmare maintenance cost.. but of course now that everyone is searching for manual vehicles, this has shot back up in price. There are a number of things I would change to make it look a little more appealing but again, that's personal taste. I still think the bargain to get would be the F430 in manual. Hopefully the world keeps ignoring this model so prices start to drop to more reasonable levels.. 🙂

WHO COMES UP WITH THESE ENDLESSLY ENTERTAINING INTROS? IS THERE NO END? HOW?

Please tell me the name of the piano instrumental you used at the final review at the end of the video!!!

this video has been in my to be watched list for so long - did not want to see it because i didn't want to be dissapointed. but what a rendition. classic.

Probably going to step out in an unpopular limb, but I've always liked the 360.

Everytime a straight pipes review pops up it’s a quick reminder of how much better you guys are at what you do.

The look on Thomas' face at the end of the intro. is priceless!

Great intro! And for all the people that don't seem to get it, why are you watching a channel that opens most videos, with a joke!?! I was very proud when my engine came out. Like the saying goes: As long as it's healthy...

Your videos are like a window into your world, love the view!

The Rabbit is back! What a fun little car to drive. Weird comment on a Ferrari video, but I rode in a Rabbit regularly growing up, so it's nostalgic.

That last line.. “the engine is braver…” 😂

That intro. Just as I was gonna cringe, in comes the whole point behind the plot. You boys killed me with that joke 🤣☠️ The car, though...There are a million reasons I can name to explain why this was THE Ferrari of the 90's, and why it still slaps to this day. But a million is too many. The F355 shall speak for itself. 💯

How does a 19+ minute video come out two minutes ago and people already commenting on what's in the video?

The first Ferrari I drove was a 355 F1 back in 1999. A few years later, had a F355 Spider (manual) as a company car in 2005. These are just wonderful to drive, and look far better than modern Ferrari models!

Throttle House pushes the editing limit again.. well done!

You guys are getting a thumbs up for the intro alone

These intros kill me

‘Shift like a wineglass’, I’m gonna do that from now on. I want that to be a thing: wineglassing as a verb. Many hold their fork like that, many drummers their left stick. So why not grow the market? Thanks, dad! I’d also like the 355 to get featured in games. It’s the only chance I’ll ever have to drive one, after all.

ESG score will be through the roof with that intro 🎉😂😅

Great video guys, and loved the intro, but you better call the wah-mbulance - those cis het bro boys can’t take a joke. 😂

We already have enough that crappy United States don't do it in Canada too

6:43 When you said shifting smoothly from 3rd to 4th, I thought of myself, because I do that often. But then when you mentioned Hyundai Getz, I laughed because I do it in my Getz.

Such a photogenic car. I loved driving the 355. It dances in your hands in a way that makes modern cars feel distant.

I am so proud that Throttle House is Canadian.
