    Currently for sale on ebay Motors... It's got a chrome challenge grill, among other things... This probably isn't for most people, but, for some reason, i think this car is stunning...

    Wow in America cars are cheap in the Uk that would be around GBP45K .I think it is slightly garish with that Challenge grill on the back, but apart from that it is very good, the interior is top notch.

    Carbon,

    This same car was offered last fall. There was a thread about it. Most people thought it was blinged out. I thought it was nice except for the grill.

    They are both sweet. I just wish Ferrari would start desiging their modern 8's more like this again.

    Each to their own but personally I think that's hideous. It looks like a tricked up Toyota MR2. It's not even bling, it's just insulting. Again, just my personal opinion...

    I really liked the chomed out rims...I think that looks great. To me, chrome rims alway look good on a black car.

    However, I don't like the rear grille; it just doesn't look right.

    The thing that really sets this car off for me is the chrome grille... i know many of you think it's tacky and that's cool, i understand, but i really think it's a stunning car... i didn't even know it was black until i read the description; i thought it was dark blue or something... The pictures aren't that clear if the car is really black... Still, the chrome is wild... The interior actually, to me, is a little bland to be paired off with that exterior, but it's still okay, i guess... i just keep coming back to that grille...

    FYI to potential owners:

    Regardless of the opinions this car is in terrible mechanical condition. Steve R put that car through a PPI and it failed for bad cylinder head compression and leak down. The car needs valve guides with the left back (if I recall) smoking like a chimney on acceleration.

    IMHO...I like the chrome wheels but the Tan Top and Chrome Challenge grill have to go for me....yuk !!!

    The only chrome wheels that belong on a Ferrari are Borranis on a 365GTB or older car.
    IMO

    ok...call me suspicious...

    The 15k service was done on October 12 2002 with 18,150 miles.

    Today on January 19 2005 it has 18,465 miles

    That is 315 miles in 27 months. Or 11.66 miles a month. You can say what you want about Ferrari owners. But who is NOT gonna go for a fun drive or two????

    The Speedlines look good....but not in chrome for gawd's sake.......and the chromed Challenge grill is garish to say the least.

    I kinda like the idea of the grill. A polished rear grill (not chromed) would look pretty cool, but I would have only polished the bottom half (not the top portion under lip trunk lip). Cool idea, but the chrome wheels are a little much.

    Does anybody here watch Newlyweds on MTV w/ Jessica Simpson (not that I do either, the wife does)?? Isn't that the 355 that she rented for Nick on Valentines Day? If so, I would definitely believe that it's a pos, he seemed to have a little trouble driving it at times, and he was on camera! If that was a rental, imagine what people do to it when they're alone?!

    The car on newlyweds did not have a chrome grill at the time....but could be the same car
