    Here I thought all SF's were F1 cars. Wonder what the split is F1 to manuals?

    The exhaust headers are not supposed to be a problem on this car, BTW. Still, anyone that does not take the time to answer calls from a prospect is not a salesman. He's looking for some joker to walk in with a fat check book and no brains. Fool!

    Why wouldn't the exhaust headers be a potential problem? Unless I've read wrong, the Ferrari design is flawed, and unless it's aftermarket, it will eventually fail.

    I thought that Ferrari addressed the problem in 1998 and 1999 models.

    this guy has no idea what kind of a mess he has gotten himself into haha.

    have about 10 people set up times to come see the car.. back to back.. just to make him wait around all day.

    ask him if it still has the original kinibally rod and how much air pressure is in each tire

    or does the stereo go to 11??

    hahaha!!

    Ask him if the stereo amplifier system has a force feedback limiter on the output transformers, or if it's the optical compression on the power supply capacitors, then ask when the last time the entire audio system was recapped.


    Then ask if there is a flux capacitor in the engine bay by any chance....

    Open the hood – the front one of course - and ask: “where is the engine?” ;)

    The Fiorano models had I believe Alcantara suede on the steering wheel, but that was awful. This wheel may have been changed out for a standard wheel.

    Best to ask if the photostatic muffler valve had been calibrated when the 30K was done.

    Carm you are right......we may from time to time have some pretty heated discussion amongst ourselves, but when a brother needs help or has been mistreated we forget our differences and show that this forum is truly a united 348/355 brotherhood. The people here are awesome....when they come to your aide they will stay with you until the problem is resolved.....
