Picture of your 355 you took today

vracer... Front tires are 12 years old and the rear are 10 years old. No cracks and not obvious issues. Having said that, next Saturday (factory size) Michelin PSS2s are going on.

 

Ok, here are some pictures of it lowered. Not that the arches have a flat spot just before the opening and it is hard to make out in the pictures so the gap looks bigger.

I enhanced the flat part of the wheel arches so you can see a better representation.

I think it looks perfect! I hate the 4x4 Ferraris

^^ Agreed.

Those stances look great, and I'd bet Ferrari would send them out from the factory looking close to that if they could.

 

Looks great!

 

Looks great!

 

I think the stance is perfect. The car looks fantastic.

Looks great!

 

Gorgeous and looks sharp lowered.

 

Most notably it evened out the look. The measurement from the rocker panels was different on each corner. One could argue that the rock bottom plate may not by design supposed to be the same height from front to back (but I assume), however left to right would seem moreso.

So we put some weight in the car on the driver side (not my total weight) and then evened out the corners. This was about ride height while driving. This wasn't about corner balancing the weight of the car.

The driver side is just slightly higher than the passenger when nobody is in the car. It is almost impossible to see from the naked eye even with back to back pics. In a couple weeks I'll have the alignment checked and have it aligned with weight in the driver position. I normally drive alone.

 

Thought I would share this. Buddy took pic in Berlin about 15 years ago. Driver saw copper and double parked anyway, but pearl white GTS has to be the rarest of the rare?

I allways enjoy your vids. Nice

 

Thanks, Grant.

For Daytona, I had new slicks mounted on my "rubbin' is racin'" wheels. I won't be refinishing my wheels. They've got some racing history on them...

Awesome video and pics! Wish I could have made it.

 

Thanks, Dave. My fixed-mount Garmin Dash Cam doesn't give you the true sense of the 31 degrees of banking on the NASCAR tri-oval. The "Gyro-Cam" does...

When you're settin' there in the driver's seat you can only see out the corner of the windshield. An' the thing is never flat. It's always tilted! Even goin' down the straightaway it's tilted. Look at that! Oh man, you can get into a lot of trouble goin' down there, 'specially three wide. An' heck, you see how quickly...I mean you're goin' into the turn an' it don't gradually load up, it loads up all at once with all them G-forces pushin' you down into the seat!

Ya gotta love how Darrell Waltrip talks!

Care to hazard a guess if it's better than plain vanilla waxes?

 

Yes and maybe just a little.
I put it on half of the car first as a test and honestly barely noticed a difference. I then applied it to the rest and to my 14yr old e55. The e55 is noticeably glossier than before. Once i rolled them outside and looked at the 355 as a whole, i did look slightly better. So my opinion is it depends on how good the finish was before. The 355 was near perfect, and the e55 was not. Either way, it smells great! lol
