Hey thanks for scanning the article. Tough to find this magazine here in the US and for whatever reason their website is very 1990s (why don't they post this content fer crissakes??!!).

Lots of nice things said about the F355. Of course, I couldn't agree more!!

I have no doubt the Lotus is a superb sports car but what a visual mess! Looks awful, to me, from any angle.

 

i didnt read the article but if one is after a track day car....lotus

 

Make mine British racing green...

 

great article affirming all the hype that we give our 11 to 15 year old "dream cars."
Side by side, a much more timeless beauty than the exige, or just about anything else. due to the scanning, I could not read the article on my iphone and could only read it on my large screen Macbook

 

there's no definite answer to this and it really depends on what you want.

I find the 355 sexier, but Lotus is the ultimate toy...that's why there are a lot of Ferrari owners who are also Lotus Elise/Exige owners, too.

 

I have been on the track many times with my 355 challenge and I can say I have never had a lotus keep up with me.

 

Challenge car with slicks is very different than 355 street cars on a track. Also Lotus' weakness is the top end speed, hence on a long track it gets destroyed on the long straights. But if you put a Lotus Elise/Exige on a short track like Lime Rock, I know the Lotus could keep up with a 355/360...maybe even pass one or two or three

 

bring your 355 Challenge to Texas and let's see what happens with a lotus.

I do think that the 355 is the most beautiful Ferrari in many years and alwasy preferred it to the 360 and 430; the 458 might give it a run, though

 

I agree. The short track would give the 355 problems and the lotus with the power to weight would take over.

 

Oh yeah.....bring your Lotus to Sebring let's see how you do their!!!...Ha Ha..I'm just having fun with you. Lotus is a good car. They are virtually the same price. It's fun to compare the two now.

I would really like to go to Texas Motor speedway. I was on the NASCAR full course this weekend in Homestead!! I am hooked. Coming out a full banking at 130 mph. Nothing like it. Homestead is rough down on the inside!!!!
