Blu Le Mans 355....

Andy,
thought they were illeagal so haven't chanced it. Might give it a go tho' if you 've never been pulled....

 

Felix,

if you car is still using the stock exhaust, you need to change it now. The original just doesn't sound right at all. Tubi or Challenge box will make a world of difference.

the challenge grill will sure help with the cooling but not too sure if it looks any better than the origina grill. I just think this colour (blm) already looks great on the grill. I am using the stock grill. I know the engine bay can get hot but what I do when I get home after a drive is to open the engine cover and leave it open for a while (eg. 30 min) to help it cool down.

Hi felix,

congrats, lucky guy! Blu le mans at it's best. I like your CF seats. Can you give us more pics? Is a certain size?
REM: Michael Schumacher had a 355 GTS in Blu le mans as well, so we are in a special community
Here comes my 1995:

forza + good luck with the lowered chassis!

Do you have some pics of Schumi's 355 GTS ??? I'd love to see his car.

 

Both Tubi and Challenge are far better than the stock.

I have a Challenge box in my 355, it sounds great. Yes, it does have quite a bit of resonance in the cabin. I can understand that it is not necessarily to everybody's liking but so far I am happy with it.

I listened to a Tubi before I changed mine. It sounds good at high RPM but only at high RPM (eg. above 3000 RPM). Whereas the Challenge sounds terrific IMHO even at idle (again that may not be everyone's preference, it may be too much sound as you already pointed out).

Felix, I like you car better than the ex-Schumacher car. Blue is wonderful for this car and the interior is exactly how I would have wanted it in combination with the exterior colour.

 

Yes, tan looks better then Magnolia, but Schumi had a blue carpet Not bad.
@felix: thanks for sharing your seats. Those are probably much better in tight corners. Don't sell them, please ask me first, LOL ...

I may be going out on a limb...but I think thats the most beautiful colour on an F355....Especially, if it was a GTS.

 

Couldn't agree more... just waiting for this one to go up for sale again.............

Absolutely very, very nice pics and very, very beautiful cars in this thread...
A blue F355 GTS is great! Really, the ultimate car on my wishlist!

 

Well done Felix - that is a magnificent 355; what a perfect colour combo.

I like the smaller plate or the sticker plate options - Ferraris were never meant to have front plates. I don't even understand the rationale for a front plate (apart from revenue generation for the DMV slugs).

 

Looks like a niceone for sale here :

Awesome! great color on the 355 IMO.

Here are some other shots of a TDF blue.

 

Is your 355 Chirao Blue? Guess it was not available for the 355.

Very nice!

 

Wow those Blues are really beautiful. I have a black B and sometimes wish I had a RED GTS, but those Blues are incredible.
