    Hi everyone, I am hopefully going to be purchasing a 355 Berlinetta in the next few months and am looking to modify it. I am trying to find performance sites that have good quality parts (suspension, exhaust, chips, aero mods, etc.). If anyone can post some links to any good sits I would appreciate very much. Thanks for any help in advance!!

    How about buy the car first, learn the car and then if you need to pretend to go quicker buy a loud exhaust (lots of threads here) and if you still need to go quicker sell it and buy a 360 !

    Well, there is no pretending here. I love going to the track and really using the car. I try to go to the track in my NSX a few times a year. And I actually like the 355 better than the 360! :) I just want to do my research and learn whats out there. By no means am trying to buy parts before I get the car. Any help would be great.
    Thanks,

    David Paul

    Hyperflow cats + K&N airfilters + chip-tuning the M2.7 355's (some are M2.7, others are M5.2) will give you the best bang for the buck, but there are also carbon-fiber/kevlar seats/interiors/bumpers/panels out there to lighten the car for a pretty penny.

    Going to coil-on-plug will give you a bit of extra oomph, too.

    Likewise, since you don't *want* the OEM exhaust headers, you've got a performance upgrade opportunity there as well.

    Me too, the 355 looks far better than a 360 IMO....... I would not want to own a car that has been the subject of 'gansta rap' songs :(.

    Hello and welcome. To own a Ferrari is a dream of most and I hope your future puts you in the seat of an exhilarating f355. I just bought one myself recently and have been loving it ever since. As far as comments on this forum just take them at face value. If you buy and like the 355 then it is your car and you should do what you like. Some people believe that a stock car is sufficient and that if you want a faster car then you just buy the next model up. But there is nothing wrong with taking the time and passion to build your 355 up and faster. Then as you pass by the stock 360's and the owner's are scratching their heads in disbelief you'll know it's been worth your time. Do what you want and have a good time doing it. Remember it is not the man with the most toys that wins but how that man enjoyed his time and toys that wins. A man can have an ENZO in his garage and know just that what it feels like to have an ENZO parked in his garage. Or you can be a man that knows what it feels like to do 180MPH in a F355. Don't let people stop you from improving the possibilities of your car especially if they do not speak from experience. Here are some sites to take a look at but prices are not for the faint of heart.

    1. www.ricambiamerica.com
    2. www.nicksforzaferrari.com
    3. www.mvpeurosports.com
    4. www.carobu.com
    5. www.dimex-group.com

    Those are just a few to help get you salvating for your f355 good luck with it and i hope to see that your next post is "I GOT THE F355 I ALWAYS WANTED"
