Cough, lame.

>no working down force, including ground FX and rear spoilers. No diffusers.

Gay. Much more exciting in a 348 at 140mph+. You haven't lived until you spend most of your time going upwards rather than forwards.

>No aerodynamic front spoiler.

Ugly as sin front end. What are those silly bumper bumps for exactly?

>No 18in proper alloys.

Wrong. Check out my Speedlines, they are WAY proper Ferrari compared to 355 std items. I win.

>No world acclaimed flowing body style.

Copied from an MR2, or could it be the 348?

>No proper ferrari lights.

Copied from an Aston Martin. lol

>No proper ferrari sound from standard.

*cough*

> No bypass valve

..to go wrong. Correct.

>No beautiful to behold engine.

Incorrect, 355 engine is borrring. 348 engine much better looking with red cam covers and silver plenum.

>No 5 valves per cylinder head.

Taken out of subsequent cars, why? NO TORQUE.

>No 109bhp per ltr. (The best in the worl at that time untill the 360).

Erm..

>No boasting points regarding the engine.....in fact no boasting points at all

It looks better, it's erm.. erm.. more torque down low thats it.. Grrr

This quote from Manu at Scuderia Systems:

"The 348 is currently the Ferrari/Tubi benchmark noise - to better it you have to buy an F50 and spend £9000 on a Tubi for that!"

>No direct gear linkage.

Learn to double declutch.

>No 6 speed gear box, just a bloody dog leg thing.

Beautiful it is, made for real men.

>No alloy pedals standard

Wrong, GTC had them.

>No power steering.

Gay.

>No chrome gear shifter??? only that bloody black plastic thing. Am i right??

Standard on GTB/GTC/Spider.

>No power steering

Gay. (not like theres anything wrong with that)

>No mechanical hood mechanism, only a 3ft leaver.

Should we start a seperate thread on bashing Spiders in general?

>Now have i missed owt

No I think I answered all your questions.

One for you: If the 355 is faster how do you explain a 348 winning most of the UK Hillclimb championships? Could it be that 348 drivers are more akin to Aytron Senna and 355 drivers are more akin to..

Pap where's that blue shorted individual again??

 

LOL!!! What a desperate attempt at answering my FACTS And what the hell are you quoting Manu for LOL! Who the hell do you think he is anyways LOL!! I said standard not with a Tubi, anyways if ya talkin after market then a capristo on a 355 wins hands down And ofcourse he is going to spout his crap becaurse hes a Tubi agent. DOH!!!
Ok now show me a 348 engine that looks better than a 355 one. And i mean standard not AndyHs either Man you are desperate...bring it on..

Yea brother, now thats what i am talkin about But were are the 348 big guns gone....PAP!!!!! were ya at!!!

 

Good summary Chaa, which answers the question why 348s are missing on track days vs the 355s, the 348s are parked in front of the Espresso Cafes with owners dreaming of buying 355 body conversion kits and those beautiful 355 wheels to put on their 348s to make them look like a "proper" Ferrari.

Then tiring after all the lattes and posing the 348s are off to the hair salon to get some touch ups on their hair highlights and a manicure and pedicure to have their toe nails painted a new color for the week and new sparkles glued on them

 

PAP may be out getting fitted for a new skirt to add to his hot shorts

 

Wow, all this dick-waving is causing a draught! I could understand it if they both cost the same but one is a good 50% more to buy than the other ffs..

 

Dont get heavy dude, its only playfull banter Besides if it was dick waving then i would win hands down
MB: And were did you get that 50% more to buy figure from??

 

C'mon its all just humor! None intended to be jabs at the 348!! "Everyone" here knows that the 348 is one baaad MOFO for the money!!!! Heck if I wasn't already a "hairdresser" I would own a 348 instead. As a matter of fact, if I find a nice 348gtb in silver I may be tempted to scoop it up .

To put things in some sort of perspective. We are "all" somewhat fortunate where we are bickering about each others f-cars.....Just think of how others would see us and think we are just a bunch of "brats"! Look how ridiculous this sounds: "My ferrari is better than yours" boohoo ........................... Lots of people of good character will go their whole lives and not even sit in one So here is to the best f-car section in f-chat....... the 348/355 section!!!

Things could be worse

 

Someone please please please post a pic up of Goth so I can add that comment to it.

 

Dooooohhhh!!!!! .................................
