Very nice 348!
I knew the Speciale had a wider rear track but did not know it was due to wider wheels, thought it was in suspension geometry. Thanks for the tip. In my owners manual, it just shows stock wheel sizes. Maybe Ferrari did not make separate manuals due to such low production numbers? It does show original owners stamp etc, so I know its not a replacement manual.
The wheels themselves aren't wider, they just have 25 mm more offset so as to increase the track. You can achieve the same effect by adding 25 mm spacers to the rear (only-- front track is the same), but it won't be 100% original, if that matters to you.
Congrats ! and welcome to the SS club. Beautiful combination - the car looks new! The Kevlar seats are a must - good thing you have them. I've seen a few SS's without them - shame. They are worth a fortune - not very comfortable, but keeps you in the seat no matter what. I didn't see the front SS lip - they catch on everything. I've had mine repaired 3 times in 10 years. Try to find one if you can to complete the look. Enjoy !
Where did you find your 348 SS? It seems very rare to find these for sale anywhere. I've been watching eBay, car gurus, auto trader, classic cars, and more and can't find one available for the last few months to now. I'm guessing it's got something to do with the fact that once you own one you love it and won't sell???
Welcome to the brotherhood and congratulations!!! I have lusted over that car since it came in. Business demands took resources in another direction. You have something truly special to not only drive, but to enjoy appreciation regardless of miles! If you decide to sell, I hope you will bring it to the brotherhood, first!
It was at a dealership in Texas, guess I got lucky. When I bought the red car last spring, I had been looking for a ss, so when this unique color came up, I went for it.
Still have the red one. Figured I would hold on to it until spring and then maybe sell it....or keep it :0
congrats! I was also speaking with the dealer about your car and running numbers back and forth. Glad it went to a fellow f-chat member!
It's like a big lightning bolt finally jolted me to realize how beautiful and special the 348 is. Holy cow man I can't stop looking at it!!!
