Some probably illegal street driving but great sounds.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9herQhNR2GA&feature=related
Ok I've heard many over the years and that one takes the cake. - that my friend is why, now how I can sell my 355 - there isn't anything w/in a $250k that will give you that. F50 is the next step -but I don't want to go that fast. You can achieve those sounds/speeds under 80 and that I like. Now a couple qualifiers - do you know if that is a challenge exhaust w/ straight pipes and/or any other modifications?
Great video with great sound! But I think I noticed his "Check Engine" light was on in the last quarter of the video. You can see the light when he is in a dark tunnel.
Wow, look at that.. I´ve never thought my video would be a repost.. thanks everyone, it makes me very happy that you enjoyed it so much!! Dean355, we checked that already and that´s an ABS light malfunction.. this car is, according to the only F-Cars dealership in Brazil, the top 3 355 in our country.. only 9k miles, everything from ABS to airbag module replaced.. it is what you call "mint condition"!! Lagerlout, we passed the speed limit once or twice but never actually did any crazyness.. it was a sunday morning and the streets were pretty empty. If you wanna see actual ilegal street driving, search for my MB 2008 CL65 AMG video.. that´s pure insanity... Gershwin, it´s an original Ferrari exhaust, bought directly from the dealership, it´s not straight pipes.. it´s a very good exhaust system, it doesn´t make you ears bleed when you´re driving at 75mph and it still makes a wonderful noise at high revs.. Thanks everyone!!!
Great car you have there. I'm amazed at the sound from the Challenge pipe. Is it also de-cat? I have heard a Challenge exhaust here, admittedly only idling but it sounded a bit like a tractor at idle so I'm stunned that is sounds so fantastic further up the rev range. Might be a proper alternative to a Capristo!
That's great RCV! A light malfunction is a much better outcome than having something wrong with the engine!! I would take that anytime over an engine issue! Great freakin video! Made me wanna go for a ride in mine!!!
Lagerlout, the idle is much like Tubi, not that louder, I´d risk and say that you can´t know which one´s which judging only by startup and idle.. It is de-cat. I never heard a Capristo exhaust in person even because there isn´t one here in Brazil but I´d say it is definetly louder and more impressive, but has less of a symphony than the Challenge.. it´s just so beautiful. Every time you get into a tunnel it´s like there´s an orchestra with you.. it´s like a therapy!! You guys all know what I´m saying, I´m sure!! Dean355, thank you so much!! Certainly the light malfunction is better! A lot has been spent on the maintenance of this 355F1.. not because it broke all the time but just to make sure it is all brand new and working.. Congrats on your 355! What exhaust do you have ? Thanks again
