    I forgot to post this.. the first drive of my 355 up and down our street last weekend (not going on main roads yet due to winter/salt) I tooted the horn at my kids who were excitedly watching from the driveway as I pulled out, and heard the beautiful sound of twin airhorns! I didn't really think about the fact that Ferraris made before my former 360 came with real airhorns vs the buick horn my 360 had and it quite a surprise to me (a very nice surprise!) The 355 is definitely a prior generation old school Ferrari vs the 360 in every way! No traction control even!

    The porportions of the 355 are perfect as well. The wedge shape is just as perfect as the 360 coupe I had that doesn't have a wedge or sharp angle anywhere. I think they are both so well-executed, and I wish I could have both a 355 and 360. They are back to back model wise and yet so different... The horn note says it all!

    I didn't realize the horn was another "last of the old school" features of the car. It brings a smile to my (and everyone else's) face. It is a wonderful reminder of "real" Ferraris even if it doesn't have 12 cylinders. ;>)

    The horn plays an "F" note...

    My bro's '01 456M has air horns so I'm guessing they are the last of the model lines to carry it? Maybe the 575s?

    I breifly looked into that, but it was too much hassle. The nose of the car is set up differently/more work to install. People did the conversion, but not many.
