Rosso Corsa with tan interior, custom mats.  Car is in excellent condition a runs great. 39,500 miles. I purchased it in September of 2010 with 34,033 miles.  Has some wear on the driver seat bolster which is common. Can use a seat re-dye in this area that is an easy do-it-yourself job.  No sticky parts.  E brake handle is the only part that was not redone.  Front and rear bumper and side skirts redone. Rear bumper had a shoddy repair done from a minor rear impact.  Seems like someone backed into it with a trailer hitch. I had it done correctly and it is now perfect.  Front bumper had some scratches underneath which is another common thing with these cars due to the clearance being so low.  I also had skid plates installed.  Side skirts has some rock chips around wheel wells so I had those redone.  Overall the paint is in excellent shape.  There is a clear bra over the hood/fender area.  I installed expensive aftermarket shields on the sides.  Michelin Pilot SS tires were installed @ 37,864 miles so they are like new.  These are the same tires that are used in the current models.  Clutch was done @ 35,728 miles.  Throw out bearing was also replaced with a superior Hill Engineering part. CV boots, motor mounts and all new rear bushings where installed. Dash and instrument pod was recovered in original black leather.  New - F1/clutch sensor.  360 pump upgrade, Seat potentiometers, Tubi headers. Both radiators were replaced with good used units including Scuderia Rampante silicone radiator hoses @ 38,490 miles. Rebuilt rear shocks. New battery. Alpine stereo with CD and iPod hook up. Billet aluminum passenger footrest and dead pedal. Annual service just completed for $995.  I have shown the car in many shows and I took either 1st or 2nd place.  Trophies included in sale.  I have the complete toolkit with tire inflator and all manuals in the original leather pouch. Battery charger hookup with charger. I only have the red master fob and one key.  Last major was done in July 2010.  Ferrari recommends doing the major every three years which no one does.  Most people do their majors every four years and sometimes five.  If I were keeping it I would do the major next summer.  The convertible top is original and needs to be replaced.  There are two rips on either side of the top.  One about three inches and the other about two inches.  They have been stitched up as I was going to replace the top this year.  New tops can be purchased on eBay for $800.  Only other thing is the operation of the convertible top.  It goes down fine but when going up it needs a slight push right behind the driver seat so the fork engages the cam that pushes that side up.  Hard to explain but was never a big deal to me.  It just has to be realigned and I was going to do that when the top was being replaced.  There is a thread on Ferrari Chat explaining how to do this.  Recently had a shifting issue where car was going into neutral for reasons unknown.  Ferrari of Long Island said my TCU accumulator bottle had a leak and needed to be replaced.  I ordered a new 360 bottle and retrofit kit (an OEM 355 accumulator bottle is not available from Ferrari).  It was installed and of course didn't solve the issue.  I wasn't at all happy as you can imagine so I got Ferrari North America involved.  They then found the culprit was the intermittent trunk switch failed and needed to be replaced. This lets the ECU know that the trunk is secured correctly.  A relatively cheap fix that was overlooked.  All is perfect now.
I put in over $20k in upgrades/repairs with receipts to back it up.  I also have service records from 9500 miles
I love this car and it pains me to sell it. There is simply no sound like that of a Ferrari and especially the 355.  Lots of TLC put into it.  I'm moving on to a newer model.  I am being as honest as possible here and if there is anything I missed or if there are any questions, please feel free to ask.  I feel the price is very fair for the work performed and what it needs.

Ferrari stock sale pegged for October, or later

Sat, Jun 6 2015

The Ferrari IPO is still coming, but it won't be before Columbus Day (Monday, October 12, that is), according to Fiat Chrysler Automobiles CEO Sergio Marchionne. The outspoken exec is blaming tax reasons for the fourth-quarter date, according to a report from Reuters. Marchionne said a full year needed to pass between FCA's October 13, 2014 Wall Street debut and any additional listing. This isn't the first delay in the Ferrari IPO. FCA was originally supposed to make a 10-percent offering of Ferrari during second or third quarter of 2015, before officially pushing things back to the third quarter of this year. Now, it's unclear if Ferrari will even go public before the dawn of 2016.

Five awesome Lego car creations

Thu, 23 Oct 2014

Lego cars are among our favorite toys. They're fun for play, and if built properly, great to display. With that in mind, we've crafted a list of some of the best creations we've seen. Some are on sale now, while others are merely the work of fanciful enthusiasts. There are even a couple that you definitely cannot buy (we'll explain).
Our choices are diverse, including everything from a diminutive 1969 Chevy Corvette to a fullsize Ferrari Formula One racecar. These are just five projects that caught our eye - there are many more out there - so if you don't see your favorite Lego car on the list (or if you have your own creation), please tell us about it, in Comments.

Twin LaFerraris roar around Fiorano

Wed, 18 Sep 2013

What could possibly be better than a Ferrari LaFerrari running at full clip on the Italian brand's Fiorano test track? The answer is obviously two LaFerraris, both doing hot laps. So far as we know, this is the first time we've had an unadulterated listen - outside of the car, that is - to the latest Ferrari hypercar when it's being ran hard. There's no voiceover or music, just that righteous, hybridized V12.
We're told that the first LaFerrari, without camo, is a production model, while the other car is said to be testing a different exhaust setup. It sounds slightly different, and according to the videographer, it was noticeably louder than the production car. Take a look below for the full 2:48 of Italian V12 noise.
