    Yes my latest times, and thank you.

    With the exact same mods and for whatever reason the 2.7 being slightly heavier the track times showed a similar difference between 2.7 and 5.2 as the dyno would suggest.

    All I'm saying is from all the data I've seen (from cars other than my own) it suggests much more than a 5hp difference.

    Totally agree that would be irrelevant for many, it's just not for me :)

    Keep in mind that different dynos on different days produce different results. They are great for tuning a car, but comparison testing can become too easily manipulated by operators.

    Aside from manipulation they record differently, mustang reads higher than Dyno Jet, Dyno Jet reads way higher than Dyno Dynamics. 20% difference actually.

    Yeah for me, same dyno I've ran thousands of cars on for over 20 years. (and track numbers to back up the dyno numbers).

    I’ve had two B’s, first a ‘96 and now a ‘95. Changed from the airbag wheel to a 348 steering wheel on both of them. Other than exhaust, best possible mod and I’d say the best mod for the money. Everything about the car is better with the lighter and smaller steering wheel. I do give up the airbag but I may be better off without a 25 year old piece of first generation explosives sitting in front of me that’s triggered by equally old Italian assembled sensors.

    I think we paid about $2500 a few years ago. Local guy had a 360 he was parting. Perhaps could be had for less from someone like Ferr Parts.

    Haha I just followed you on Instagram not long ago (@thedragasautogallery) I recognized that pic right away. I do love your car, and that wheel looks great as well!

    ^Cobra Misano isn't the worst looking seat. Much better reupholstered like that.

    A touch too modern for the 355 IMO, but far from the worst I've seen.

    Misano's would be almost dead ringers for the carbon seats if the Ferrari side adjuster could be replicated and that big metal bracket eliminated

    ^ I would call them vaguely similar just because well, they are seats :)

    Any chance anyone here knows the dealership or has a local contact? Big things like records are missing. So I really need some eyes I can trust on the car. It’s really really expensive for a car with some questions, but I do like it.

    I inquired about this car as well. I'll admit I'm not an expert on Challenge car history, but to me it seems like this car is essentially converted to street spec after it was raced? Meaning...all original race parts are missing (cage etc)? Hardly a Challenge car anymore and for the premium paid, you could find a really nice street car as well.

    Used to be a challenge car is not the same as a Challenge car and its not a street car. I'd find a nice street over one, I agree there.
