    Do F355 Spider drivers think that their cars have body flex when going over poor roads or when they drive at the red line in sport mode?

    Probably more body roll being pushed hard around a track or hard cornering. Should have nearly zero body flex over poor roads or being pushed to redline in a straight-line. :)

    I don't get any "body flex" in my 348 Spider...can't imagine that the 355 would have any (unless it was poorly rebuilt from a wreck, which is not uncommon).

    Yes, I don't get any noticeable body flex on my 1997 f355 spider either. I actually think my 355 is alot stiffer than my old P-car convertible. Especially during hard cornering. :p

    Definitely noticeable in 348 Spiders when pushing them hard. By definition, the 355 Spider will too.
