    Saw an ad for a Red 355 Twin Turbo:

    - 1996 with 38,000 miles
    - Turbos installed at 30,000 miles
    - 12 psi boost makes 580 at the wheels
    - Dual waste gates
    - Red with tan interior with Carbon center console and other trim
    - OMP Sport Seats
    - $110k

    What do you all think?

    Sounds awesome, but I can't imagine the rate at which he's gonna destroy his valve guides, headers, cats and engine in general. I'm learning very expensively that the 355 engine can't take much beating, so I couldn't imagine adding 200 hp to it.

    In theory though, it sounds FANTASTIC!

    I'll bet it's a beast to drive and you'd have one of only a handful of turbo'ed Ferrari's.
    $110k sounds a little steep, though, given what resale values of the 355's are likely to do when the 430 is released.

    Better than buy this car for $110, do your own car for less than 40 - there was a post on the kit somewhere, and the modified car sounded phenomenal.

    BUT, if you could get SPIKE to pay for it with a TV show...
    GO FOR IT!
