No, they really are some of the most handsome Ferrari's. I would've been 1-11 years old when 348/355's were new ('89-'99). I didn't realize how much I liked them till long after they departed from making that style of car design. As with many vehicles of that era compared to the decades that followed, they look more genuine and sincere.

Alexander Timonin lol ikr

I think he was angry at the shifter.

Can someone please make a 10 hour loop of that part of the video?

Everyone was on crack back then because there was no internet or cell phones.

mipmipmipmipmip That would be hilarious hahahaha

HA!

"smoke 'em"

Wrong model but close enough

Did he really have to say "Ferrari"? I mean, isn't that the reason he was asking the sticker price in the first place?

Expectation and entitlement has reached sky high levels as sense of appreciation and gratitude diminished.

bailorg good news. car and driver tested the new civic type r. 0-60 in 4.9 seconds!

putting the fuel gage out of direct sight is a nice touch, until you get stranded that is

and the font don't forget that FONT

These are journalists, not poser clowns.

Painfuls the word.

you see it and the driver bounce around in thid video, seems as comfortable as driving a wooden plank

@@mipmipmipmipmip Seats are very comfortable. 800 mile trip with ease.

HorrorUberAlles Fast And Furious

It´s not classy to get smoked by a Focus...

The Focus is not a natural pussy magnet, tho. No matter how old, the Ferrari gets 'em wet.

Shane Barrios how ironic. When I do drive my honda Subaru guys are thinking they're going to punk my NA honda. I always smoke them by buses.

A Camaro of that time will outrun it too. But thsoe cars are cool. I hate that it didn’t have power steering. That’s one of the best things u can enjoy

Man from Nantucket now I'm having flashbacks of fast and furious, more than you can afford

Nene Valenzuela -- Tire and wheel upgrade?? Why, cause they're not 20-inches? Those factory wheels look fantastic!

Yes, keep it all stock

Nope, The Toyota MR2 Turbo was designed against the 348, The NSX was intended for the Ferrari Testerrosa

Well not "against" really. MR2 took its cues from these mid-engined exotics, but never ever intended to actually compete with them. In other words, someone looking to buy a $112,000 car wasn't deciding between a Ferrari and a Toyota.

Marshall Street when the Nsx was being designed, the benchmark was the 328. but once the 348 came out, Honda had to improve it some more. the performance is very similar between the Nsx with the 3.0 engine and the 348. when the 355 came out, Honda responded by releasing the na2 model with the 3.2 liter and 6 speed tranny. it closed the gap but the 355 still had slightly more top end. you are still compared a car that was slightly over rated at 375hp vs. 290-300hp car. it was when the 360 came out, that is when Honda got really left behind unless you get your hands on a na2 NSXR.

yes ,the 348 actually lost to the NSX ,because off the handling

Power-to-Weight ratio was the culprit....348 handling was 'fine', it was the off-the-line acceleration that was problematic when comparing to the NSX.

@HeavyDutyTraining Oh my gosh... Lexus LFA says hello!

Yes

Double

Honestly about the same, unless it has ultra low miles

*smokem

At the time it had great power. The testarossa made 390 hp from a 5.0 l, the nsx made 274 from a 3.0 l, porsche 911 made 250 hp from a 3.6 l and had less torque than the 348. Nowadays 300 hp is kinda normal and 324 nm is standard with all these turbo engines. But what is still unique is the driving experience The only sedan faster than the 348 was the opel omega lotus (lotus carlton). We could argue that in a circuit the carlton would have been left behind. It was like an m5, as fast as you want in straights, but in corners can't keep up with a 488. The corvette was heavier and wasn't as sharp as the ferrari, it wasn't as refined and (imo) wasn't as good looking as the 348. The corvette was more a testarossa competitor i believe. I think that the boxster of ferrari in performance was the mondial, especially the first one. The mondial was a comfy 2+2, but the first model was slow, it made 0-60 in 8 seconds :/ Or the 208 turbo, that wasn't slow, but a 308 was faster. But the 208 born because of fuel crisis and high taxes in italy, a smaller engine was much cheaper

I'd happily drive a 348 if you don't want it. I cpuld barely affird the engine -out maintance schedule.

5 years 12,000 miles less than 1000 in parts

still, nothing as bad as motorized metal tops. If it gets stuck out of warranty, it's basically total-loss.

Horse power to weight ratio

In a straight line yes. That's not the point of a Ferrari though.

This car would smoke a 1966 - 1978 Charger any day. See what i did there?

+Arayig1982 Motor Trend did a review on the '97 540i when it was introduced. They clocked 0-60 in 5.6 Seconds and 1/4 Mile in 14.0 @ 100mph. Top speed delimited is approximately 165mph. I'm going off this video without further research for the Ferrari performance.

hammerki1 some guy on the internets turbo'd his. Check it out

How so? Do you have or have driven either model? TS is the way to go. Hard top looks but fantastic convertible feel.

Ive driven both and own a spider. I'd keep the SP.

you forgot 348 GT Competizione (street cars 50 made)

Do you understand capitalists and their greed?

Those were the good ones

I remember being 14 years old too. Ah youth.

I used to think the same thing. Your reference changes when you drive one because it is that moment that you understand why these cars have no trouble selling regardless of price. Don’t care how fast your Honda is son, it ain’t a Ferrari.

What the fuck do you expect....you're comparing a modern car to a 25 year old car dipshit. Keep playing with your blocks Junior and don't forget to take out the garbage.

Jonny P dodge charger has no status

STFU ASS WIPE!!!!

I love when these kids come on here and say my car is faster. Big fucking deal. A charger will never be as cool as a Ferrari. Try comparing your Charger to a like Ferrari from today and you'll be seeing nothing but taillights

Couldn't afford a hellcat?

Mag neto never heard of the Mondial have you? Lol

400i is uglier
