    I think the 355 is the worse looking Ferrari engine I have ever seen. How on earth could Ferrari have designed such a monstrosity????

    I'm so glad I did'nt get one as I would be so embarassed to open up the engine bay. Looks like a cheap Toyota replica.

    Was there a reason for this? Unless the 355 bodyshape demanded a re-design of the engine then perhaps i could understand, but the has the same dimensions as a 348, so that can't be it.

    And I can't belive it's pumping out 375 bhp. No way!!!!

    I can also see now why the 355 is definetly an engine out job for the cambelts.

    I'm suprised it can be serviced with the engine in.

    I mean, how on earth can you access half of the spark plugs.

    Just shows you how much better 348's are.

    :D

    OK I will try to step up for chaa in his absence, I only hope to come close to his level :). Here goes...

    I bet that little mr2 motor puts out as much or more HP than a 348! The 348 motor looks like a horses arse and sounds like one too! :D :D

    Before I respond, could you provide me with the following information please.

    1. How big are you?
    2. Do you have martial arts experince?
    3. Do you have a gun?
    4. Do you visit london regularly?
    5. Have you ever been affliated with the CIA, FBI etc

    Depending on your answers, I will give the appropriate response which will be anywhere from agreeing with you 100% and transferring £10,000 to threatening to kick your ass.

    Yep, but I have a video of him driving and saying how much he loves the 348 and the feel of teh car without power steering. Any harm comes to me....it goes up on youtube.com

    :D

    Yep.... :D


    You got me convinced. Will an NSX engine fit in a 348?

    With all the money the guy spent turning his MR2 into a 355, he could have bought real 355. What a retard!
