    Hello all, i am new to this forum and new to Ferrari ownership. I picked up my 355 F1 in Dec last year and today got a real taste of what the car can do. Our company arranged a track day afternoon and i thought i would open up the 355 a bit. It was fantastic! The car was so responsive and so easy to drive. I felt my confidence grow with each passing lap. I started off very tentatively with a 1 min 35s lap time. by the end of the afternoon, i was clipping kerbs and posting consistent 1m20s times. What a rush! I love my 355!
    Just wanted to share that with the fratelli...

    Don't write that word (Fratelli) no one will understand it, they seem to think it's some kind of pasta hence the illogic of not using FRATELLI 355.......:D

    Congrats on your beautiful toy I'm glad you are experiencing and driving the car too it's limits.

    Apologies for using the Frat... word!
    I am based in South Africa and the track was a little track by the name of Zwartkops (just outside Pretoria). Short but technical - loads of fun!
    A few of my colleagues were there in Porsches, M3s etc. Interesrting to see the BMs overheating while 355 just kep posting great times...
