Well the 1997 F355 spider is the best of all 355s especially the Nero Nero ones ! Image Unavailable, Please Login
No, No, No......you don't want a '97, they are well known for Johnson rod failures. Stick to '95, '96, '98' and '99
christ not this again. don't believe Shark.. or Rifledriver... or anyone else who claims the Johnson rod is an issue with 97's. it's a small issue that spread like wildfire in the fchat community. in fact, i purposely tried very hard to get my johnson rod blown in my 355 on several occasions without success. as a precautionary measure, i stroke my johnson rod every so often with WD-40. all is good.
Go for the '97 no question!!! You will love it!!! Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
I haven't heard the term Johnson Rod since high school. We used to try to get girls to stop and talk by telling them their Johnson rod was loose, or that their Mcgrouger rotater was falling off. It worked like a charm. Thanks for the memories. By a '95, they are faster.
You should buy mine... $75K with 23,000 miles and just had the Major service at Fdealer 2 months ago. Yellow and Black.
