Ferrari F355 Challenge

Overview

The engine makes a pleasant sound and revs up to 8500 rpm. This alone makes the F355 worth riding. The fun of driving with the 6-speed MT while maintaining high revs. All the bushings on the suspension have been replaced with pillow balls, and the suspension movement gives you a sense of high mechanical grip. However, the ride is not too stiff, and it is not a concern even on long distances or rough roads. A vehicle with such a well-balanced suspension is rare. Although I only revved it up to 6000 rpm, the engine sound was more than enough. Grip in cornering beyond imagination. The pleasant acceleration, reassuring braking, and the feeling of turning from the tail, which is unique to the midship, are impressive. This vehicle is a rare complete Cornes vehicle. The owner who owns multiple vehicles is selling it in a garage cleanup.
