Both sweet looking rides! But what's up with the wing on the 355? He needs to ditch that IMHO.

BTW, how much did it cost you to paint match the top? TIA.
 
Ever think of lisencing them in the US? Nice looking rides...except for that WING. (IMHO of course)

I was running the Japanese plate while I had a trip permit on my car, but now I have a vanity plate.

I had the exact same thoughts about the wing on my brother's ferrari, but after finding out that the spoiler is off the actual Challenge car (which you can not buy nor do they make anymore) it makes the car much more unique. the car also has a 6 point roll bar that was not installed when the picture was taken and completes the look of the wing.

here are the details on his car...

'95 F355 spider
Brembo F50 big brake upgrade front and rear with 2 piece rotors
Tubi exhaust
Challenge rear grill
Full Challenge suspension
6 point custom roll bar
Challenge rear wing
 
Nice pic, although I admit that the wing is an interesting mod to the 355. First time I've seen it on a Spyder. Does he track the car -- seems like the car is set-up to do so. Thanks for sharing.

Regards.
 
as soon as I get my car back from the body shop, I will post more pics of my car and the ferrari, but this time with the roll bar installed...

Nice cars! Though I think the spoiler has got to go on the beautiful Spider.

Somehow it just doesn't look like it belongs on a convertible even if the part is genuine Ferrari Challenge.
 
allen-
when do we get to see your twin turbo beauty in action??
ortega run?? night owl run?? bimmer run(this weekend)??
when does it come back from the shop?
 
yeah, that was my bro driving in La Jolla.

we both live in Mission right by Belmont park.

my car should be back from the body shop in about 2 weeks, but I'm working on getting some serious tuning time for the car in June/July in Sacramento. but I'm willing to run with you guys for a while.

I want to wait until it gets really hot in Sacramento and have the car tuned in the worst possible conditions, then I should be fine down here...I'm still debating on whether to go 6 or 7 psi...

Let's not introduce X-TNSIV's NSX to Bill's Yellow 355 GTS. It might cause a rift in the current relationship. :D

Regards.

Funny LOL :)

Thats it " I'm putting a wing on MY355 "!!! only kidding.
The wing is not what "I" would do "but" it's "your" taste do NOT let others sway you.

They laughed @ me when I started changing stuff (not knowing what the final product was going to be) :) It had to be done in stages to keep up w/ all the shows during 1-2 years.

I get a lot less dis-agreement and a lot more "wow I like it's these days" ......Not "nessesary" but it sure is nice to get a compliment here and there.

Very nice collection.

Challenge wing or not....the F355 looks better without it. NSX looks nice though. :)
