Ferrari 330 GTC's aren't bad lookers either :D
The driver finally utters those special words we've waited 4:25 minutes to hear... "Let me shut up now." and the V12 gets to do its thing for a little bit. The 330 GT (2+2) version is wayyyyyyy more budget friendly.:unibrow: |
First Ferrari I had the privilege of riding in was a 365 gtb 4 like this about 25-30 years ago.
http://autoworld.files.wordpress.com...ona-img_55.jpg They are an unmistakable and romancing symphony of sound. The car ended up in Ron Tonkin's collection after 20 years of him courting the owner. It was also the first time in my life that I witnessed 160 mph. I love the cars and understand the attraction but they are spendy to maintain. If you can accept that the relationship will be a rewarding one. :thumbsup: Had breakfast with my friend that just replaced the clutch slave in his 355. Stock stamped together slave $3,200, Ferrari Racing slave $595, took him 7 hours. So there are ways around the expense if you have the resources. |
I've been a Ferrari Dealer tech for 5 years now - before that I was a Porsche Master Tech - 360's have many more problems and higher maintenence costs than 430's - a 430 in every way is a much better car - But for the money a Porsche is a much better choice, the average person has no idea how well thse cars perform - you can PM me if you have any specific questions about these cars - Dion
p.s. GregWeld: unfortunately for us in the shop new Ferraris are available with an included maintenance program which covers services for the first 7 years! |

My 01 996 Turbo was a tremendously reliable car for nearly 2 years and 30k miles of commuting and daily driving. The only issues that came up were the direct results of me over modding it for more power. :lol: Great cars. :thumbsup: |

That 458 is :hail:

John, one of my buddies had a silver 360, I believe it was a 2000, and it was gorgeous. Maintenance was insane. Get a Porsche.
Go to Porsche of Livermore and ask for Terry. Tell him 'no hook up Carl' sent you. They get all kinds of other cool cars in there too. Terry knows his stuff and will tell it like it is. He was a Toyota Master Tech for 15 years and has a sweet VW single cab that's on airbags so he's not just a goon in a suit. I met him at a Laguna Seca track day over ten years ago. I wrecked my CBR like a n00b and he carted it home for me. :thumbsup: |
I owned a 99 F355 GTS, manual trans. The car was fantastic. Sounded amazing and was just a blast to drive. YouTube f355 Capristo if you want to hear some beautiful sounds.
I sold the car to help finance my Cadillac build but would like to buy another someday. I have no interest in the newer models, f355 is perfect to me. |
This was in my "Just for You" weekly update, and I thought about this thread. I hadn't subscribed so I searched for "Ferrari" by user "GregWeld", lol. :D
