    I believe the last production date for 355’s is December 1998. Your car is within the last 6 months of production, which would be considered the latest of the production run.

    I figured it was a 1999 MY. The carbon seats are in “plain” weave, while a majority of 355 carbon sport seats are “twill” weave. Moving forward, every carbon part on a Ferrari is in plain weave.

    Congrats. Just picked up my F1 GTS, and I have to say I’m satisfied with the way it shifts. It’s a perfect match for the car and it’s age.

    it’s not a fast car, it doesn’t need instant shifts. And the shifts are still faster than a human.

    Drive it for a bit…. See how ya feel.

    Best of luck!!

    We've already spoken on IG about the car, but glad you went this route. Stunning spec...it's a keeper! There are times where I miss my F1. Manual is great for less complexity, but the driving experience of the F1 is *very* unique specifically to the 355.

    Congrats again! Blue F355 crew. :D
