    Beautiful car...but yeah, scary low, the way it sits...I can hear the crunching when flying down the street and you hit a slightly elevated manhole cover or dip in the road... ;)

    Car is very well sorted and suspension geometry carefully aligned for maximum performance. Newly rebuilt tranny. Very well maintained. Who cares about a few scrapes underneath. Drive it Break it fix it drive it....We all miss JJ.

    Nope. John was a racer himself and that car saw more track time than 99% of the Ferraris on here.

    "Track time" is not an indicator of correct set-up , maybe g-loads will say something ;)

    I like lowering the car but it's just a little too low IMO. Just maybe a half inch up and it'd be perfect.

    That car isn't lowered it's actually been slammed but not by much.

    If you get it though you'll have to wear one of those "Your a *** if it don't drag" T-shirts

    It certainly looks mean being that low. I wouldn't care to drive it over any speed humps !

    Nice looking 348 - love the seats/wheels. If it were my car I would have it ride a bit higher - we have nasty bumps and entrance ramps here

    Hmmm. Nice car indeed.

    davey_jones is a monkey’s uncle :D

    Suspension setup by Delta V, including revalved shocks, different springs and bushings, likely one of the best handling street legal 348s out there. That's the track height in the pictures, street is usually just under 4 inches clearance at the lowest part of the car, so still pretty low.

    Wheels are 355 of course, HE spacers, Brembo big brake kit up front, seats are OMP with adjustable backs. HE modified shift plate and some redline juice makes the tranny go smoothly.

    Looks like Tubi exhaust with text pipes out back for beautiful engine music and a little more powa :) With the exhaust, modified intake, chipped, and other mods push it up to just over 330hp, while seats, exhaust shield and other parts dropped off to keep weight down a bit.

    ROBM3, you had a chance to buy the car before, no?
