WHY is this ferrari so CHEAP!!!?

IDK maybe its salvaged?

 

Tough to license for the street perhaps?
At least in most parts of the country....

 

It’s a challenge race car, not a street legal car.
I doubt you will ever be able to make it street legal easily.

 

It's a race car.
It's not a CS.

From the description the picture isn't of the exact car- it's a picture of a similar car.

The car shown has roll cage, is probably stripped of much of the interior and other amenities. May not have working headlights, emissions controls, AC, ect.

 

Depends on the local laws and your tolerance for stiff ride, low ride height, open exhaust, no speedo or odometer, lacking of turn signals, insulation, ect.

Race cars tend to be run hard and heavy. Depends on how many hours of use it's had. And finding out the damage history can be hard- no Carfax on that one. Resale?

Is $95K that good deal vs. a regular 2000 street car?

Could be a hoot to drive. The guy who runs Cavalino Motors I meet once- seems like a good guy.

 

That's not cheap ... almost average

 

Maybe because it has "tripped?"

 

Challenge cars (348, 355, 360) have always gone for cheaper than the street versions.

It's not a challenge car because it was not raced in the Ferrari Challenge, but it was built as a 360 Challenge race car.

 

Challenge cars are cheaper because they are raced .


However , in europe , 355 Challenges are starting to appreciate as they are both race cars and road legal .

 

It's entirely upto you, the car is exactly what it says it is in the advert.....a 360 Challenge Race Car

Knowing Martin's reputation I very much doubt there's anything wrong with it, just that it isn't a 360 Challenge Stradale (and nowhere does it say it is!)

If you want something to do track days or race this car is perfect, if you want something you can drive on the street it's probably not for you, unless you can get it road registered and don't mind paying for it to be made road leagal

It's impossible. It was built from the factory as a race car so there isn't even a Vin.

 

Wrong... All 360 Challenge cars left the factory as Challenge cars. The 348s Challenge cars and F355 Challenge cars were normal street Ferraris to start with and then they were converted.

You don't have to race the car for it to be a real Challenge car.

 

Do you have any idea what you're getting into? This isn't a 360 that's been lowered ..... the windows are lexan, there is no sound deadening material inside, there is no radio, no A/C, that little slot you see in the side window is the only air you'll get, the alignment would ruin tires if the car was run in a straight line, and the springs should be roughly 15 - 30 time (times as in "multiples") stiffer than those found in a regular 360.

Seriously, if you didn't know this was a Challenge car when you looked at it, and if you, for even a second, think you might want to buy this to run on the street ... turn around and walk the other direction. This is not a 360, this is not a CS, this is a race-car built by the factory ... it will physically hurt you to drive it.

LOL! Very well said!

 

It's a factory built 360 challenge race car. Whether raced or not does not matter.

They were sold as race cars with a bill of sale and NO title. It has too many modifications to make it street legal.

Although I know some 355 C have been titled on the street with a kit car title. Depending on which state you live in it may be possible.

It would be quite a car for street use.

 

I think that the challenge cars you cant drive it in the roads

 

At 16 years old, you should do your home work before posting.

 

My Challenge Car has a VIN number..

 

Agree it is not a street car. If you want creature comforts, (relatively) soft springs, cushy seats then stick with the more mass-produced Fcars.


But have to say it will not hurt to drive it if you are a track guy. It could be the ticket to many, many smiles. So it is up to the buyer if they want a comfy sports car or a device designed to slice and dice the racetrack with little care for AC/Radio (or cup holders ). There ARE middle ground cars called modded street cars, though a well-sorted Challenge car could be a HUGE ticket to Happyville. Heck, wish i had the $$$ for it, but the price is not a 'bargain' nor a 'ripoff'. It IS market value.

Hmmm... a high HP/TQ track car with Perelli slicks running on race fuel at Watkins Glen. Oh yes, yes... OH YES!!!! (eh hem) Sounds like an awesome time to me
