    I love it, but I wonder if it's been post processed, or perhaps a mild HDR shot?

    Very nice car.

    I wonder if the door inserts and bumpers are carbon fiber like the hood? My guess is they are.

    The door inserts are real carbon fiber you can get them. They are $2600 for both sides I don't know about the bumpers.

    Much more than a regular 355 Challenge. I've noted that these types of cars-modified, often seem to have Japanese roots. I found a chat site somewhere a few years ago that had many 348's and 355s and many seemed to have LM mods, etc. I'd take this in a minute.

    Wow,
    pretty awesome car overall. It looks so mean without the grilling on the engine hood. That makes it tempting to do something like that, but probably not the most practical idea. This car has to be black, which makes it really work. This is the hairgeller's wet dream!

    I don't know about the bonnet but I bought mine off ebay for $500 dollars about 4or 5 years ago and it was a steal for that price never used and never drilled into and I don't know who makes a factory carbon fiber bonnet. Mine has no name and I got if from a parts guy in calf. M-techologia makes a f40 lm looking f355 bonnet but I think that they wanted like 5 or 6 grand for it, way to much for my blood. an exsponser valance carbon fiber was making all kinds of body parts I would try them they even had fenders in carbon fiber also the f355 underbody. They are still around just not a sponser

    That 355 is sick! I love the triple black. And nothing could be cooler than stepping over the cage to belt into 4 pt harnesses.

    Some interesting things about this car I noticed from the pics

    1. It has ballast boxes up front which mean high intensity non OEM main light bulbs

    2. The rear fluid cooler?? Trans cooler was mounted in right front fender well.

    3. Front wheel studs and lug nuts are CH...rear studs are after market with open lug nuts...this indicates that rear wheels are using a spacer.

    4. CH allowed for complete removal of heater/ac core and associated parts...this car has a fully functional heater system in place

    That's strange - mine is in the left front fender well.

    The battery is in the RF

    I translated what is said about the car on their website using Google, and this it what it says:

    "Is an introduction of the Ferrari F355 Challenge. Body, engine, mission has to Fururesutoakondishon. Inspection so you get some numbers, and is capable of traveling on public roads. For the S-road tires are the tires, but otherwise in accordance with its circuit design, go to the circuit in the self-propelled, can enjoy sports driving. Body design is really beautiful and elegant atmosphere in the Riyauingu 只者 oil cooler and rear Challenge grill is visible from I have not exude an aura. Sparco OMP-made car is a six-point seat belt made Furubaketto****o is just a simple design that is required to travel and sports Fururorugeji circuit. F355 standard diet with exercise performance has improved significantly since significantly. Lightweight feel it themselves. The cornering and agility to achieve movement, 行Naemasu line adjustment easier. The surprise was the intensity of the stopping power of the slowdown. Speed and can kill the bull instantly amazed far controller. Gay is also a Porsche so digging this one. 360 Challenge from the F1-matic is only now, slide the shift up with aluminum shift gate, looking forward to working with the Prancing Horse 『down』 enhance satisfaction that makes the controls. Ekizosutosaundo will play the type 快音 enough from street to high rpm will pull it all too easy ♪ This is the best sound!"

    rear rotors are slotted while the fronts appear to be normal (no slots or cross-drilled).
