Cayman/NSX/F355

Nice article! I wonder if the tires on the 355 they tested were older tires? Often that is the case on ferraris where the car isn't driven much each year, yet tires need to be changed- more often due to age vs wear.

 

I own both a 355 and NSX and have to say I'm not sure I agree with the NSX vs 355 verdict. My NSX has slow steering and at the limit is hard to read. I spun it several times at the track and each time I didn't feel the car was going just before it spun. The whole thing was a bit unnerving. I ran my 355 Challenge at Laguna Seca and there was a huge difference. Steering was much more direct and precise feeling, the car was always telling me what it was doing and if it did start to step out it was easy to control. I felt way more confident in the 355 than in the NSX.

 

I would say the challenge is a much better car in the corners than a standard 355 though.
