Please remove the snorkel.

What is that snorkel there for? Some sort of ram air effect ? I've never seen that before it looks quite odd, no?

 

That's a shame about those holes in the rear lexan. The cheapest I've found that cover is $6K... used.

It's a good thing you love that snorkel!

 

I like the snorkel and glad you are keeping it. I am curious how the recoating of the CF pieces is performed. Will the original coating need to be stripped or sanded off first? Sounds labor intensive.

 

being unique is one of things which sets many things apart...good or bad.....and i think your CS is brilliant in being distinguishable with its "like or hate it" snorkel...i for one thinks it's pretty cool....the engine bay does get amazingly hot...and any induction of cool air into the engine bay would be a good idea....if done properly of course....

i got a question..who is Mr. Corolla?

 

Looks great brother! Your always one for perfection in the details. I drove this car the other day on its way home and it was great!

Car is tight, looks good, runs good. It has some small things needed but overall I was way more impressed then I expected.

By the way, I thought the snorkel was weird but when I heard it was a rare option and saw it in person, I actually love it now! On the car, it looks like it belongs there.

 

Congrats on the purchase - is that other CS parked in front of it also yours?

I agree that the snorkel is good. I can imagine how the inflow of cool air must help temps and performance, and provided it was factory spec, it is only going to add to the cars originality.

 

That euro coupe we have is super sick! Way cooler then almost any other 360 as it is more or less the closest thing you can get to a TRUE challenge car for the street. We converted it to a stradale TCU so it shifts like a Stradale now too.

That euro car has no precats, and was originally owned by the CEO of Harley Davidson if I recall.

Back to the Stradale here:
I found the end of the discussion on the snorkel
The story just keeps getting cooler....It is officially Adam Corolla's old Ferrari Stradale!

He got tired of the engine bay heat and made a snorkel by fiberglass himself and then sent it to Chip Foose For his carbon fiber guy to make a one off custom snorkel!

Adam fitted it to the car and then sold it. I'm going to reach out to him with this thread as he just did a podcast last week on this car. So funny how timing works.

Podcast about Ferrari Stradale starts around 23:00 minutes

I personally think that snorkel looks kinda cool. Good to see another one being taken care of.

 

It sort of has a cult following at this point. Might as well leave it.

 

I used to think the snorkel was awful. I assumed it was just stuck on purely for visual impact by some cheesy former owner. But after listening to the Corolla podcast, now I definitely think you should leave it. It's unique and was actually placed there for a functional purpose and is a one-of-a-kind piece designed specifically for this car.

(I would still prefer my CS without the snorkel, but as Jason said, it's a part of this car now)

 

I got an email from Adam Corolla's carcast crew today and they wanted to use some of the photos on the shows social site. I told them to ask Adam to post to this thread and get involved with Ferrarichat!

Apparently they have over 100,000 followers and counting.
