Ferrari Purosangue

I wanted to snap a few pics, but with traffic and the short time, there was no way. The car is beautiful; pictures do not do it justice.

I've seen a lot of them, and frankly prefer the DBX707 greatly. Even the styling of my EV6 GT, which Ferrari seems to have copied significantly, isn't really a strong point of the car except that it's excellent at high speed aero.

That experience is exactly why I call our soulless, whirring Plaid, boring.

It really is kindof the "easy button" to simply buy an 11 second car like mine and just stomp a mudhole in pretty much everything near stock no matter what it costs except for a few of the high end P cars etc. A Plaid is a mid 4-second 60-130 car and takes a boatload of mods to tangle with even for GTR's etc. It does take some of the emotion out of it, I agree.
 
While I would happily take any manual transmission or select automatic (400i, 456GT) transmission Ferraris, this is in my opinion the era of peak Ferrari style. This low miles stunningly original and patinaed example was at a friends shop.

Meh. My Kia is just as quick. It doesn't sound quite as good though, rofl! Sweet find! Also, super lame how they stole Kia's aero, but it works really well. Mine is dead stable at 150+.

Ferrari stole the design, it is quite clear. You need to paint your calipers yellow, get new chromed outer rims and get a Ferrari badge.

The Ferrari needs to be lowered 2 inches.

I agree, these Dinos are gorgeous.
Maybe not at all fast by current standards, but so what?

360 Modena?

yes.
"Words do little to describe the tingly feeling I got when I rolled down the 360's window and heard the mother of all engine notes wailing in my left ear. I nearly fainted. If my house were worth the price of this Ferrari, I'd sell it to buy one. The 360 isn't saddled with any substantive faults, except for the shift paddles, which should rotate with the steering wheel but don't. The driving position is perfect, the view out expansive, and the entire structure feels tight and rattle-free. Although the F1 'box is the best automatic unit available on any car, I'd still opt for the manual—I missed the subtle thrill of blipping the throttle for downshifts. If you can afford one, I'm jealous." —Larry Webster

HA HA! :) You may notice my name is f355spider, after that Ferrari. I owned one for over a decade, was a fun car and made amazing noise with a Capristo exhaust, everyone would recite that scene to me, lol. That was the last one I really felt comfortable working on (major services at the dealer though). I had a 308GTS and 328GTS before... those you could DIY a lot more.

The F355 is not particularly fast by modern standards...0-60 is around 4.6 seconds or there about. A 2026 BMW 540 family sedan will do that in 4.4 seconds. Not nearly as thrilling though, or making nearly the noise. I do miss clicking the shifter through that 6 speed gate with the engine screaming.
