Better performance, probably more expensive to maintain. Not that it's a "sedan", per se, and I do know several people who use a 355 as a daily driver. I'd want the 12-cylinder engine, myself, every time. MC >> WHATS ANYONE KNOW ABOUT A 99' 456M? AS FAR AS MAINTENANCE?

I'd want the 12-cylinder >engine, myself, every time. More rear room than most people deserve, great design - lovely styling; evocative of some past greats without being at all derivative of them. Last Ferrari V-12 needing manual valve adjustments could make maintenance pricey for a DD, but one needn't drop the engine to change the spark plugs, so that's probably zero-sum... "Why so cheap"? One may ask... ...Four-seat Ferraris have always sold like shepherds' sandals, on the used market; some people just don't get it, and Ferrari buyers can be extremely, uhm, "focused" induhviduals... Personally I'd love one for a daily car, if gas went back to $.25/gallon... (BTW: Please stop shouting. And black is a terrible non-color for Ferraris.) <<And black is a terrible non-color for Ferraris.>> Oh, I don't know 'bout that. Black can make even a Mondial or a Testarossa look sexy. And you shoulda seen our 355 F1 Spider at SEMA this past week. Sweeet!

Black can make even a Mondial or a Testarossa look >sexy. Black can make every fat-assed woman looked good too ...for an unexamined moment. Magicians and Stylists paint things black for the same reason: To hide anything which might break the illusion. It's not a color, it's a cloak. >And you shoulda seen our 355 F1 Spider at SEMA this past week. Sweeet! Eh... The dark blue actually works, without hiding the lines we want to see. >C. :::who hated the thought of 19" wheels on a Ferrari, but can't argue with >the results::: ...The one's with the spinning inserts, homeslice? ;-) <<Black can make every fat-assed woman looked good too ...for an unexamined moment.>> Oh, and I'm quite sure that you're the looker. << Magicians and Stylists paint things black for the same reason: To hide anything which might break the illusion.>> Black is a spiritual colour. Love it or leave it. It's beautiful to me. <<It's not a color, it's a cloak.>> Only if it's a shitty paint job. <<Eh... The dark blue actually works, without hiding the lines we want to see.>> TDF Blue? Eh. I've lived with it. <<...The one's with the spinning inserts, homeslice?>> Gods, some of those new, aluminum wheels really do look like they could chop and mince. C. |
