1996 Ferrari F355 GTS review from North America
"3 Words... Oh My God"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Maintenance is extremely expensive.
I have had to have the exhaust replaced because the car hit bottom and tore a hole in the exhaust I assume.
Tires don't last long on a ferrari.
Targa top leaks.
General comments?
This car is amazingly fast. Once you pass 3000 RPM this car begins to scream like a banshee.
The F355 GTS with the Targa Top gives you all of the advantages of a convertible with the convenience of a hard top.
The 6 speed manual shift gate is hard to get used to, but once you do, you'll never go back to conventional.
The fast and the furious didn't give the 355 its due justice.. I would love to see a Toyota Supra even try to come near this car in performance.
