    Greetings!

    My name is Christian and I am pretty new to this forum.

    Have always dreamed of owning a Ferrari and really have my heart set on a F355 in the near future! Have spent the last weeks researching, reading as much as I can on the 355.

    I have always owned German cars... currently have a 997 Carrera 4 and a E63 AMG.

    Thinking of swapping the Porsche for a Ferrari.

    Hope I can make it happen soon, but I know it will probably take a while to find the perfect car.

    Im looking for a '95 F355 Berlinetta in Red/Tan manual trans of course!

    Anyways, hope I can be back here in a few weeks or months with pictures of my new purchase!

    -Christian

    Welcome Christian!

    Lots of people here I have seen make the P-car to Ferrari transition. That E63 AMG excites me a bit though, any pics?

    I had a 355 for three years... what a GREAT car!

    Good luck on your search!

    Thanks all for the welcome!

    Yes, nothing wrong with my Porsche, it has been great to me so far, and I will miss it... but I have always wanted to have a Ferrari in my garage... and I feel the time has come!
    Would like to have a 997TT some day as well though... if only I had the garage space!

    The E63 is definitely a keeper! 507HP, The ultimate sleeper sedan! Mine is a W211 2008 model with the relatively rare P030 performance package (LSD, stiffer air springs, 2 piece wheels, suede wrapped steering wheel, and delimited to 186mph)

    Heres a couple of pics from back when I got her:

    Well, that's no good... there are plenty of occasions where you need to go 197, ya know.

    True story haha! Hopefully the 355 I pick up will serve me on those days when 187+ is required!

    So relatively simple looking, clean, yet power that most people can't even handle. Love it!
