    Mods from Challenge rules:
    It is set up as a street car with a full interior. The challenge seats are covered in matching tan leather and I am installing only the hoop portion of the roll cage along with the seats and harnesses.

    History:
    This car was sold new by Ferrari of Houston and was never raced. It has most of the Challenge kit installed but is set up as a back road and canyon car. It's light, nimble, and has plenty of power. It's awesome.

    History: Earliest known owner was Martin at Cavallino Motors in Florida who ran the car in the NASA series for at least one season.
    The car was then purchased by Mr. Nelson Lee which he used at club events, then was purchased by Mr. Robert Principe who also ran the car in the same manner.
    The car broke a variator at a Pocono event and needed an engine. At that time, I bought the car from Robert and we installed a Factory spec rebuilt engine in the car.

    Wow. Amazing cars you have there my friend!

    I suppose you get asked this a lot - how do they compare to each other?

    Chalk and Cheese, the race car is just that, noisy very firm and planted. You can drive on the road with ease but it is a hard ride. This car has done Targa Tasmania it has rally registration for road driving and is a genuine factory built two seater.

    The Challenge is an awesome car, nothing like the sound of a Challenge through the hills. The Hill climb I’m doing next Sunday will resonate sweet music through the valley. I’ve set-up a Go Pro and I also have V-box fitted to the car so should get some good footage.

    I worked for Ferrari North America at the time.

    I built the car for series demo. we had two cars we built, this one, and a red 348 TS.

    Both were previous FNA demo cars converted to challenge spec.

    We did a few extra mods to the yellow car, not all to challenge specification...:)

    I believe a collector in Japan bought the car long ago, I would guess it is still there.

    Regards, Jim
