    I walked away from a Nero one in Sydney for 150K 5 years ago as I hadn't finished the garage extension and I had no where to park it.....It will haunt me for the rest of my life...:)

    actually, no. I'm not here to educate you. Google it. You have no idea what you're talking about....you just want to argue. It's better to not type a response if you don't know what you're talking about. Take a leaf out of my book.

    I did. To summarise:

    355 Challenge: Same engine and gearbox. Different exhaust. Upgraded brakes. Upgraded suspension (some of which was on all 355s from ‘98 onwards). The usual roll cage etc.

    360CS: 20hp more powerful, up to 110kg lighter, faster F1 gearbox software, carbon ceramic brakes from the Enzo, modified throttle response. 3.5 seconds per lap faster around Fiorano.

    Of course not. They are the main ones.

    Are you seriously trying to suggest that the Challenge is as different to a standard 355 as a CS is to a Modena?
    Even you can’t be that idiotic.

    Do not put racing oil into a road car.

    It will not make it go faster, it has no additional lubrication properties.

    It simply has less detergent, to prevent foaming from running at constant high rpm.

    Less detergent = the oil filter blocks up quickly = oil pressure reduces. This is a bad thing. OK for actual race cars because you change the oil filter after each race meeting, whereas road cars do thousands of kms.

    Nulon is just marketing BS. Not one single high performance manufacturer uses it as first fill.

    Back when I could afford an engine rebuild, I used to run diesel oil for running in, because it had more detergent.
