1997 Ferrari F355 review from North America
"This car represents history of Ferrari!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The catalyst went bad the after the first 1000 miles. I believe it was from faulty exhaust manifolds which was a previous condition. Otherwise, everything in the car is perfect.
General comments?
This is a car made of dreams. A true sports car from the racing heritage of Ferrari.
With the top down, you cannot but hear and feel the engine reverberate through your body. The handling is exceptional. Nothing else can compare other than driving a formula 1. Newer F models are quicker, but cannot match the classic feel and raw power this F355 has.
