    Saw a cover feature in Octane magazine on the f50.

    Does it share any technology, parts, or character with the 355? Built in the same time period right? How would you compare the driving similarities or differences?

    Thanks.

    5-valve design, I think the camshaft seals are the same. Rear brake calipers? Ashtray.

    One thing is for sure the same. I want both of them in my garage. Am I half way there or 1/20th of the way there?

    God I love the F50. It is my #1. Period.

    I bet there are a bunch of 8mm nuts holding the underboy aerodynamics on both.

    Watch to the very end where you see what Clarkson chooses...
    And we all know he is the absolute authority :)

    "Staying alive" is a pretty good motive for his choice.

    I've never seen that! There's the proof... The 355 is better than the F50. ;)
