I was scared of F355s for a long time and focused on F430s, but I've come around a bit. I'd have to get Nick a set of Special Ferrari Tools.

Are these really that "cheap", or is there going to be a big run in the next few days?

Great looking car. Nice stance and tire sizing.

There will be a run on it for sure. The market for F355s is a little more difficult to pinpoint compared to the 360 and 430. This ones positive recent history, colors, and presence on BAT will put it toward the top of the scale.

Not a big fan of the hood, but otherwise that looks nice.

It's a coupe, so no.

I don't like the fake L88 hood either. The 69 we had also had one, too, but also replaced the windshield wiper hiding panel (the body colored piece between the hood and windshield). When you turn on the wipers, he panel is supposed raise so the wipers can operate. The panel is vacuum operated and was a common and failure point.
