    So I might as well share that I bought a second F355. I have been kicking around selling my Gated GTS and some of y’all know that. I hav what strong off market offers and never followed through. But after seeing the market, my love of the cars and the idea of owning an F1, I picked a 1999 GTS F1 in Rosso Corso and Tan. Identical car. I was working deals on 3 cars and felt this car had the most value for the money. Plus I geaked out over the spare tire option, drilled uprated rotors and the overall condition. I love the fact it is 1 of 529. Will not get delivered for a week or two, depending on trucking.

    The idea of having two identical cars but different was appealing to me. The idea of the F1 in 1998 was something the car world was talking about. I thought is was so cool to be like Mike - Schumacher that is. I love these cars. Like buying and selling too. I think these are the next Dino and why not own two. They will not be getting cheaper. I have some leads on my gated car and I might just continue to enjoy and drive both till they hit Dino level, LOL. I like both of mine at 32-33k miles with excellent service records. New car is only 2 owner since new, I make the 3rd.

    Here is the dealer pic and more to come:

    Im toyed around with the idea of selling my GTB for a GTS but would be worried I wouldn't be able to find one within my parameters .

    Congrats on you finding the "one"!

    IMO opinion, the 355 wasn't hated enough to be on par with the Dino. That's 348 territory. 355's are more like....hmmm...early injected 308 territory.

    Congrats! That car had been on the market for about a year and a half if I'm not mistaken. I always wondered why it wasn't picked up sooner. The price is/was fair for it.

    No kidding makes no sense. I got a super fair, if not ridiculous deal. Great options. Drives great. I called on it last August. Figured it would be sold. I started looking for an F1 car in January and realized it was still available. Made an offer and they accepted. 2 owner CA since new very little sticky buttons issue. Only a few parts. Engine serviced last year. New tires in rear, all the goodies accounted for.

    Thanks!

    Ok, let me says this to anyone who $h!t talks the F1 cars. You are an idiot and have no idea what you are talking about, LOL.

    Seriously, as a Gated owner and F1 owner. They are different, they are great to drive in traffic. They are fun and they work well. Sure they can have issue, so what, fix it. I stand by Dave Rocks and I am a reformed believer. Love the car. Great change of pace and still driving a freaking 355. The gated car is a blast!! Love it. Cannot enjoy in traffic. F1 in traffic, hell yeah. F1 at speed, yep. Still can be fun.

    Haters have no idea what they are talking about. But seriously m, you need to own both. So I recommend everyone buy 2.
