    Check out this utube video (made in UK), "top 10 Ferrari's of all time" ( a few years back ... 2004 perhaps)

    .... then watch part 2 and 3. I honestly can't believe neither one of our beloved cars made the list.
    Please share your thoughts !!!

    I actually kind of like that we didn't make the list. It makes the Brotherhood all that more special. Only those in the know.....know. ;)

    actually just today i saw a gallardo on the road.
    it looked beautiful but honestly,
    if u see a 348 or a 355 on the road - they are the hottest cars ever.

    In Winston Goodfellow's new book "Ferrari Road & Race Cars", there's a quote from Phil Hill who rated the F355 as one of the 10 Best Ferraris of ALL TIME - included right there in the list with the 250 GTO and 250 SWB. I'd say that he's a man who knows what he's talking about and that it puts the F355 in with some pretty damn good company.


    BTW, IMHO the 348 is one GREAT car and I agree with Ernie that the naysayers have either never driven one or are just "following the pack". If I owned a 348 these kind of comments would only make me appreciate my car even more.

    Agreed...I'll go a little beyond that and say that anyone who HAS driven a nice one and continues to be a naysayer likely has their head up their a$$ or simply doesn't understand anything about driving dynamics. The last one I drove was absolutely superb, even though I was not getting on it very much at all...very satisfying and fun to just drive normally.

    Testarossa #1, eh? Not what I expected, but definitely a cool car!

    I owned a 348 for 8 years and I loved every minute of it ! But since i bought the 355 I haven't missed my 348 at all. The 355 is a beautiful car to drive and better than the 348 in my opinion. Both are beautiful ferrari's but I prefer the 355 to the 348.

    First of all, that's an old show. The 360 was the new Ferrari at the time, so everyone thought it was the best. When the 355 was new, it was always "the best". Etc.

    Second, it's basically an opinion poll in the UK, so you get the Testarossa finishing 1st whilst the 250 GT California finished 8th.

    So... I wouldn't lose sleep over it.

    I think one of the slickest looking cars of all time is the nero/tan 355B
