    Am I allowed to welcome someone to a club I'm no longer really a part of? Well welcome to the F Club! I love your car so do let me know if you ever decide to let it go in the future.... YES, I'm experiencing seller's remorse but in the best way.

    Congratulations Brian! It's nice to see that the car stayed in the FCHAT family. The photos are as stunning as the car itself. Perhaps you'd be willing to give Robb some pointers...

    Kidding buddy, Henry

    RSO, thank you, and the photos come to us courtesy of Clay. These are keeping us company as we await delivery next weekend.

    Clay, you are always welcome to reunite with this 355 for a drive should you find yourself in the Raleigh/Durham area.

    Spent some time with the 355 this past weekend - drove from Raleigh, NC out to Wrightsville Beach in Wilmington, NC. The team at Road Scholars helped get the car prepped for the journey, and they had some nice vehicles around the shop. Other than a damaged tire thanks to a sheet metal screw, the drive was great. Fortunately, a local Audi dealer helped plug the tire, and I made it back to Raleigh. The car is back at RS receiving a new tire and some carbon door sill panels to add to the small interior updates we made with the dead pedal and passenger foot rest. The car has a Tubi exhaust and high-flow cats, and is stock aside from those items. 20,400 miles and counting...

    Thank you, and yes happy to share some thoughts. This was the longest drive thus far, roughly 250 miles round trip. Would love to drive more, but I live in NY and travel to NC each month to see my family and drive the 355. My favorite thing is the sound. The Tubi exhaust sounds great at low RPM's, isn't overpowering during highway cruising, and screams when you get into the higher revs. The handling, power, braking, and gated shift are enjoyable at any speed. There are faster cars, cars with more low end torque, and especially newer cars that will outperform the 355 on a track, but the driving experience of the 355 is unique and special. I haven't used the radio, have navigated over speed bumps, and did already get a screw in a brand new Bridgestone Potenza, but I think driving a 355 is all about the journey and not the destination. Next, I am thinking of doing the headers (Fabspeed, Tubi?) as I have heard these can fail, and also checking out a Grouppe M intake. I originally wanted to keep the car pretty close to stock, but am curious if others have enjoyed these upgrades.

    Great looking car! The gear shift lever looks to be roughly 3-4 inches longer than stock.
    Short PO?

    Thank you Cuneo. I think it's just the angle of the photo, the gear shift is stock as far as I know.

    race4,
    Let me answer your ride question. I have a spider, and the ride is amazingly compliant. I imagine it is too soft for the track rats, but for a street car, it is perfect.
