Q:
I thought some of you might get a kick out of this, the Ferrari 355 is my all time personal favourite model out of the Ferrari line up as it still retains the classic Ferrari look with all the modern goodies aswell.
1998 Ferrari 355 F1 Berlinetta
The clip below features 3 different exhaust systems on 3 stock F355s, other than the exhaust mod of course. Firstly is the ITO system which I believe is what it comes with from the factory, then there's the TUBI de-cat system which is just awesome, and then finally the obnoxious Capristo de-cat system (my favourite) which is completely insane! It sounds like a true F1 car with the Capristo de-cat system, it's just ridiculous!
I've just GOT to have one of these some day, but you dont get much change from $200,000 for a good one under 10,000 miles so that won't be anytime soon lol Ok enough rambling, down to business...
Enjoy! :)

The first one sounds the least restricted.

The first one has a cat still, so it would infact be the most restricted I would imagine...

I agree. The new ones look to fat and bloated, not sleek and nimble.
Haven't had a chance to listen yet, I'm at work and I want to turn it.
A:
Yeah I love the popup headlights and the classic lines, I'm not a real big fan of the new ones. They almost have Corvette C6'ish looking head lights and stuff. They gotta be popup headlights, and red of course! No other color but red, unless you already have a red Ferrari then u can get a different color lol

I think the 360 Modena did a nice job of carrying over that classic line myself minus the pop-up headlights of course.

360, 550, and 575 came before the C6. I think stock sounds beautiful, but if I changed the exhaust, it would be with #3.

993 Turbo, possibly my favorite car ever made. First twin turbo Porsche, first Porsche 6-speed in a regular production model, first all-wheel drive production model turbo, 3.6 liter air cooled flat six. Pure sweetness. One day it will be mine, oh yes it will be mine.

Porsche make great cars, although a little small for my liking. They dont call them widow makers for nothing :P

I like the 911 and all of the ones that have branched off of the 911. The 929 is one of my favs too though. I have not kept up with what all Porsche has done lately in upgrades. But those 911 race versions look awsome. And when you get up close to a porsche, and you know what to look for. You can really see the difference in those cars and other sports cars. That 993 sounds awsome!

Still aint a Ferrari though hehe :)
