    I don’t like 348s, but there is something about Carl’s car that gives me a semi. Truly spectacular after 2 years of work on it

    Before too much back slapping goes on, let’s just all remind ourselves that Luca deM said it was the worst Ferrari ever made :D

    Yup. He even bought one new.

    However, he was responsible for fitting power steering on the rear engined cars, adding the F1 shift and making sure you could fit a fatso in a 360.

    A dreadful and inappropriate legacy!

    True but the Luca era cars are still special. The Maranellos are awesome ;)

    I love the 348.

    The Testarossa initially, but more so the 348 are the cars that made me love Ferrari.

    I lost count of the number of times I read the 348 review in Motor magazine which featured a beautiful dark blue (Le Mans blue?) car.

    So much so that when I first realised I may be able to fulfill my lifelong dream of buying a Ferrari it was a 348 that I wanted.
    I actually thought the 355 was a bit boring to look at in comparison.
    It was only when I delved deeper and spoke to a few other people that I decided to try to stretch to a 355.

    The perfect car would be a 348 with the 355 mechanicals, for mine.
    And the pretty rare 348GTB / GTS is probably as close as you can get.

    Such a shame that they have a relatively poor reputation amongst the beard scratchers, but whom gives a **** what they think?

    There are many "revered" Ferraris that I couldn't care less about compared to the lovely 348. :)

    The 355 is a cleaner look and how does Ferrari justify the loss of 80HP ?

    It is a cleaner look, and definitely prettier, but not as dramatic.

    The power difference from 348GTB to 355 is less than 430 to 458, by the way.

    Yamaha designed 5 valve heads, plus better injection.

    In the real world, 348 has more than adequate power.

    I just worked out why I love your car so much, it's the red calipers showing through those wheels. :)

    I understand love and a thread towards Mondials but can’t believe the same for a 348. Good one Carl
