Ferrari F355 Challenge Twin-turbo Race Car on 2040-cars
Elizabeth, New Jersey, United States
This is a factory-built 1997 F355 Challenge car with 15,000 miles. It was run in the Challenge series for 2 years until being replaced by the 360 Challenge. I bought this car in 2006 from the previous owner (and good friend) after selling my own 360 Challenge whose handling I did not like. I then spent over $30,000 on conversion to a twin turbo engine. The conversion was performed by a Ferrari factory authorized facility in Elizabeth, N.J. 2 new Garrett turbos, 2 custom made intercoolers,custom piping and wiring all handmade, uprated injectors, fuel pumps and a remapped ecu give this car 500 RWHP in it's current setup. Up to 600 RWHP easily achievable, but I wanted it to remain highly reliable and run on pump gas. Full roll cage, fire extinguishing system and communications wiring. Internal and external ignition shutoff. The 355 is a much more forgiving car to drive very fast than the 360 or 430, and with the extra horsepower it is faster than both. I have used this car for trackdays only since it's completion, and it has been in storage at the Ferrari faciliy since 2009. Due to back injuries I sustained in 2008 I can no longer race cars, so this beauty is for sale. Body is clean with no dents, never been in an accident to my (and the previous owner's) knowledge. Paint is excellent and interior is clean. No rust anywhere. Large file of service records (this car was fanatically maintained). Very rare, very fast, very easy to drive. Replacing this car would cost well in excess of $100,000 today. Please do not bid if you have zero feedback or more than 5% negative feedback. Please no tire-kickers or dreamers. Car is not street legal so it can not be taken for test drives. Viewing and PPI may be done by appointment at Classic Coach Ferrari in Elizabeth, NJ. Contact me to arrange an appointment. Vehicle is sold on a Bill of Sale. This car is not road-legal so it has no title in NY. |

Ferrari chairman ticked off by Alonso
Wed, 31 Jul 2013Luca Cordero di Montezemolo does not strike us as the kind of person we'd want to cross. We imagine the Chairman of Ferrari as sort of like an automotive Don Corleone, a thought that is further confirmed when we hear about the aftermath of last weekend's Hungarian Grand Prix.
Fernando Alonso made some unsubstantiated remarks that have angered his team, with The Daily Mail reporting that when asked after the race what he wanted for his birthday, the Spaniard responded "Someone else's car." And while no one seems to know exactly what was said, it was enough to prompt a personal phone call from the boss of Ferrari on Alonso's birthday for a dressing down.
Montezemolo reminded Alonso that, "All the great champions who have driven for Ferrari have always been asked to put the interests of the team above their own. This is the moment to stay calm, avoid polemics and show humility and determination in making one's own contribution, standing alongside the team and its people both at the track and outside it."
2016 Malaysian Grand Prix recap: Surprises and missed opportunities
Mon, Oct 3 2016Mercedes-AMG Petronas pilot Lewis Hamilton drove so well in the run-up to the Malaysian Grand Prix that he said before the race, "Honestly, I don't feel anything is going to stop us." On Sunday, the Sepang race showed what it thought of plans and predictions. Heading into the right-hand Turn 1, Sebastian Vettel practically recreated the dust-up at the Belgian Grand Prix three races ago. When Mercedes' Nico Rosberg swept across from the outside line toward the apex, Red Bull's Max Verstappen had to jink right to avoid, touching Vettel's Ferrari on the inside. Vettel speared straight on and hit Rosberg. Vettel's left front suspension broke, ending his race. Rosberg spun and got moving again, but at the back of the pack. That appeared to put Hamilton on a clear run to the checkered flag. His car looked perfect, his pace was perfect, he easily kept Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo and Verstappen behind. A result that would have seen Hamilton retake control of the Driver's Championship – at Petronas' home race – got crushed on Lap 41 when Hamilton's engine blew down the main straight. That put Ricciardo in the lead, followed closely by his teammate. Just two laps before Hamilton's exit, Ricciardo and Verstappen had battled for second place with some of the best driving we've seen all season. Ricciardo drove as if exorcising the demons of missed opportunities earlier in the year, keeping the young Dutchman behind. The two Red Bulls took the flag fifteen laps later in that order, clocking the first one-two finish for a team other than Mercedes since 2014. It's Red Bull's first one-two since Brazil 2013, when Vettel and Mark Weber took the top steps at the last race of the V8 era. Rosberg recovered to take third in spite of a ten-second penalty for an optimistic pass on Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen. The Finn crossed the line 12 seconds later, followed by Valtteri Bottas in the Williams and Sergio Perez in the Force India. In another Belgium repeat, Fernando Alonso drove from the back of the grid to finish seventh. Nico Hulkenberg secured eighth, Jenson Button ninth for McLaren in his 300th grand prix, and rookie Jolyon Palmer scored his first point of the season for Renault in tenth. The issue to trump all others from now until next week's Japanese Grand Prix: Lewis Hamilton's terrible luck with engines. Power unit gremlins earlier this season helped drop the Brit to 43 points behind Rosberg after the Russian Grand Prix.
