    When are you going to get it out on a track day, so we can really see what it can do?

    why would a person chuck TWO turbo's into a perfectly good F355 berlinetta? isnt its v8 enough? i have heard it, and it definately doesnt sound like a ferrari's V8 should! am i alone with this view on the subject?

    wat do u mean, enough is enough?! THEY SHOULDNT GO FURTHER THAN A TUBI EXHAUST! i dont understand why someone could buy such a machine, and just act like its a skyline piece of crap. If ferrari wanted it to be a turboed V8 then they would have put it in themselves, which they did with what i believe is the second most best supercar, The Twin Turbo'd V8 F40!

    don't forget the 288GTO - it also had a TT V8 :)
    I do understand what you are saying and personally I wouldn't do it to my F355 if I owned one - but, in the end everyone has different opinions/idea's on these things and for this guy the standard car wasn't fast enough so he did something about it I guess :)

    Help!

    I googled Motor Hot Tuner (?) for coverage of this twin turbo and I can't find it. Anybody have a link?

    Thank you.

    'Motor - Hot Tuner' is an Australian magazine so I doubt you will find anything online......I will be scanning it (as I do with all interesting articles to store on my PC) so we might be able to sort something out :)

    i posted the write-ups in Word format in the F355TT now in US/EU in the
    Modern (355/456/550 & Later) section. I don't have scans though.

    As far as modifying even Ferrari's, there are those who do want to have the best performance available, the fastest car, highest laterla G's, etc. So why not modify the Ferrari. Yes, it is a Ferrari and is an outstanding car, but it is still a car that can be improved upon by the aftermarket, as we see here.

    You beat me to it. I think the previous "sista" comment is rather apt.

    Yes, ok, i agree, more power is a definate yes, but can we leave it up to Ferrari to make the changes needed. Please, am i the only person here that can see the beauty in a stock Ferrari. The F355 being a personal favourite of mine, may be the reason why i am against this subject.
