I wouldn't pay 55K for this, but then I wouldn't pay 55K for an F355, either. Putting the money aside, if you asked which I'd rather have, it's kind of a tough question. I've never driven an F355 (or any Ferrari, come to think of it), and of course I would like to--but the "douchebag" vibe you get driving even a dentist's Porsche is palpable, and I can barely imagine what that would be like driving a Ferrari.
This thing, OTOH...I mean, 50 percent of people wouldn't even notice you, 48 percent would think you were just a fuckstick who had an old Escort and liked to shop at PepBoys, but the 2 percent who knew what it was? I think those are people I'd probably enjoying talking to, unlike the people that would likely approach you if you were driving an F355 and ask you about your sweet Fiero and/or Testarossa.
I suspect, performance-wise, that both the F355 and the Escort Cossie would be a bit of a let-down, judged by modern standards.
