    the car does look odd...the bumper shape is funny and what's up with the top...looks like it's not held down that well. It's probably just the angle of the photo...plus the pic was taken while both cars were moving...so it's probably alittle shaky as well.

    i didn't get to hear much of the engine because it was stop and go traffic. other than a little bit of light driving it was relatively quiet. i can't really make a judgement on that.

    the bumper is level, it's just the lighting. as for the lights, i noticed that they weren't protruding from the grill by much, but it's hard to judge depth from that angle. i think the strongest evidence lies in the outer lights. they appear to be a single shade. under closer examination you can see that it isn't, but it does blend into the brake light very well. i've seen the same situation with Fiero 355 kit cars, where the lights blend in like that.

    i wasn't able to judge the proportions of the car very well from where i was. but at the time i was looking at the car nothing seemed odd or out of place. i got a brief look at the interior. it was at a distance, but it seemed to be authentic. it was leather and had a 6 speed gated shift. and the 355 badge is on the car, just out of place (odd?). it's hard to see, but it's just under the middle brake light and to the right.

    the other picture i have does nothing to help the situation. if anything it only shows that the outer brake lights look like one solid color, which really reinforces the theory that it could be a kit car. it's really too blurry to see detail.

    First of two was when i was sitting in the Luding library in Bryn Mawr doin a history paper for school, i sat by a window because i knew lancaster ave was always a good spot to find some, so im reading and i look up for a second and see 355 roar by, the tubi was awesome. later that day i drove down to Algar Ferrari right down the road, while my mother filled the gas tank i took a look inside, 550 barchetta(my favorite) 04 575, 2 360, 308, and a 355. then as i am walking out to return to my car, a 348 ts pulls up into the driveway. after gazing for several seconds i returned to my car and proceeded to drive home, and thats when i saw the same 348 on roberts road, since i was driving i followed it all the way around back to the dealership and took in the beautiful sounds of its engine. all in all a great day.

    I was sitting in the back-up this morning @ about 6:30 a.m., on SB 95, between Rt.543 and Rt. 24. I had the windows down and heard this marvelous sound in the NB lane. A red 308 GTS. Looked to be a Euro QV. Anybody here?

    Teenferrarifan driving a big a55 SUV (actually, looked like a small bus) while I was out this AM in my Dino.

    Erik. Good seeing you. How did the Dino sound as I pulled away on Haverford Ave?

    I haven't really had the opportunity to hear my own car, after all.
