I’m lucky enough to own a 355 F1 GTS. I’ve had it 8 years and done around 23000 miles in it including Europe, Nurburgring, the Alps, Maranello, Autobahn. It’s fair from being a garage queen with 60000 miles on the clock! Costs a fair bit to keep it right, but it’s worth it ❤️
1991 NSX has 210k miles with no repairs but doesn't sound as good as the 355. All the 355 needs for looks is a front chin spoiler and maybe some wheels.
Fantastic looking Ferrari. Hired a 355 for a weekend trip to Dorset about 15 years ago and enjoyed it very much but would have to be a manual for me as the gear change in the 355 is about the best I've experienced in any car.
Beautiful car, nice report. I prefer the manual open gate, it's epic, especially when you shift from 4th to 5th gear. And topless driving when the weather ist fine - and even if not...
This is my favourite version of the MR2. Only joking I know its a bad old joke. Superb. 355's are stunning and after this car the small Ferraris never looked so good.
That's a stunning example of the 355! Beautiful wheels, much better than the stockers. Also, I commend you on the ride height you went with, looks perfect to my eye
From the outside, an automated manual still sounds quite familiar to a manual due to the slight pause for the clutch, that's one pro compared to a torque converter auto where the noise just meshes together between shifts.
The 3 Ferrari's I would love to own. 1. F355 2. 288 GTO 3. F40 Anyone of these cars will do. But the 355 just has something so special about it that I cannot explain. There are flashier looking cars, but this one just gets the look 100% right.
Fantastic car, since i was a lil kid, i am obsessed with F355. Currently i own a 600hp mk4 Supra targa, but if it gains enough value one day i would love to trade it for a 355. got to get hold of it one day dear me
355 looked incredible when it came out.....in fact it made previous Generations look dated instantly....Still looks as amazing today....would love a slightly ropey manual, just work on it myself and modify it without worrying about resale value.
I think you are a better presenter that those topgear fifthgear hosts who fuzzes about leather stuff... great video great choice of ferrari..more power
This is a heart-achingly beautiful car, regardless of the era. This holds up to the modern cars no problem. Something about that shape speaks to me, especially with those wheels and the slightly lowered stance. One question I have is if this is the original paint? The paint looks so rich, deep and vivid, even more-so than I've seen on other Ferraris of the same time period. Is that the paint, or are there some camera filters at play here giving it that something extra?
If that was a 1:9 205 GTI at the start,i had one of those in the late 80s.It was the best hot hatch at that time.Far better than the 16v Golf GTI.Loved it.Ferrari,s were just a dream that never happened, lol.
That is correct, it's a 205 1.9GTi in the intro (actually has a 195bhp 2-litre engine taken out of a 306 GTi) and it's still in our collection (the F355 has now been sold)
355s are legendary! I would however recommend you adding a 97-02 Viper to your collection. They too are an amazing experience to own and drive. Never forget a drive in a Viper
Very nice 355. Great condition. What are the rims sizes? Width and ET? I own a 348 and I think if those wheels fit fantastic to the 355, they could do as well to the 348
A beautiful car indeed, a true connoisseur's ferrari.🤗 In my own videos is my f355 & 993 turbo together. I tried to post a link but RUclips wont allow because its getting more shit every day😂
I considered selling the house and living in one of these, but then I saw a red toyota mr2 for sale and if I squint very hard it still doesn't look as good as the original
Awesome video, very well done! The so called purists love to cry about cars that aren't manual, but different people have different preferences and cars can be great regardless of the gearbox.
Very nice car, my brother had a 355 some years ago and took it around Europe although I preferred the looks of the 348 that he had before even though he said it was nowhere near as good a car. I’m expecting your next episode on the Porsche to be brilliant. Cheers :-)
Awesome awesome I need one of those cars F1 gearbox the bomb the engine revs a really great with that gearbox thanks for posting your video I would probably put the same wheels on it it looks stock but ready to go
Hey Raj, what is the spec on the rotiform wheels? I know they are 19", but what are the widths and offsets. Would love to get a set like those for mine. 😁
Hey Raj, I keep pulling up this video, Thanks for doing it. Absolutely beautiful wheels. Im trying to find one for myself, but the hard top is so difficult to find in Canada. Do you have any connections? And please, get the capristo!
I saw another video that said it’s best to buy the F1 version because you can easily switch it to a gated manual, but the reverse is not possible - is that accurate?
It's a little sad that such glorious cars regularly fall into the hands of wealthy serial collectors, who seldom appreciate, or have the time to develop a bond with each new toy. The next buyer will probably remove those expensive wheels and revert to standard springing. Raj is clearly someone who enjoys personalising cars, but with an appreciating classic, you have to be VERY careful. On the plus side, he's unlikely to wear it out, and it will remain pristine in a heated lock-up far from prying eyes. Bit cruel perhaps, but in this video you learn more about the buyer than what it's truly like to experience a 355. 👽 🌞
No way. This 90s Ferrari design isn’t aging well to me. Furthermore no one is actually driving this cars. The reason is that compared to a 911 from this era it’s just not very nice to drive. I’ve owned a f355 berlinetta and still do own a 993 turbo. Not comparable - the Ferrari is loud but there’s not a lot going on in the aspect of performance. The 993 turbo is the other way around. It delivers its performance easily - feels lightweight and way more agile. Build quality on another level etc etc. There’s a reason why the Ferrari is way cheaper nowadays
This isn't the best looking classic ferrari, this is the best looking ferrari ever 😍
100% Agree with that!
Absolutely 🤩🤩🤩
1000000% agreed
True new ferrari and even astons are so ugly
Outstanding car. Personally I think the 288 gto is the nicest looking car ever made, with the f355 a very close second. But to each his own.

Congrats for using it properly, lovely to hear 👍👍👍
Thank u for using it and driving it
1991 NSX has 210k miles with no repairs but doesn't sound as good as the 355. All the 355 needs for looks is a front chin spoiler and maybe some wheels.
In this sad old world, you are indeed a very fortunate chap/chapess. Keep it up !
cheers, still got it, 11 years now (on 25th Jan)@@roxximusik8958

Youre right Raj, the 355 is the most beautiful ferrari and well balanced design
The 355 looks totally sick in gloss black with gold brake calipers.
That's the Ferrari I will buy.
I totally agree.The 355 was the last of the truly pretty Ferraris. 😍😍👍
That's a stunning example of the 355! Beautiful wheels, much better than the stockers. Also, I commend you on the ride height you went with, looks perfect to my eye
Such a wonderful car! I have basically the exact spec with a Tubi exhaust and a 458. Still in love with the 355 every time I get in it. Enjoy it!
Couldn't agree more!
Gorgeous car, another great video Raj, keep them coming 🔥
Thank you, more videos coming very soon!
F355 is the car that made me love cars. Styling is superb!
That 355 design NEVER dates out....beautiful!
You got that right!
Much better than today´s Ferrari (PININFARINA)
It aged much better than modena lets say... both beautiful cars to beggin with.
Take it back to stock. Such a nice car when its original. Enjoying the videos, looking forward to the porsche !
Another great video by a true gent👍. Keep them coming
Thank you Nadeem 👍🏽👍🏽
Totally agree, the F355 is epic. Great video Raj! 🙌🏾
Thank you 🙌
Interesting you have a 355 after you owned a 360 and 430. Must say a lot about the 355.
I think a true Ferrari great and that noise!
Hence I've had mine over 12 years now.
Just wonderful.
when it comes to appearance, the 355 is my favorite. performance wise I like the old school rawness of the F40.
Another great video mate, look forward to seeing some more 👍some of the rolling shots took me back to the Miami Vice days!
To say I’m not jealous would be the biggest understatement ever. No seriously well done you have impeccable taste 🫡
From the outside, an automated manual still sounds quite familiar to a manual due to the slight pause for the clutch, that's one pro compared to a torque converter auto where the noise just meshes together between shifts.
The 3 Ferrari's I would love to own.
1. F355
2. 288 GTO
3. F40
Anyone of these cars will do. But the 355 just has something so special about it that I cannot explain. There are flashier looking cars, but this one just gets the look 100% right.
Love the look with the new wheels and suspension set up!
I am super picky when it comes to wheels, you nailed it on that cer for sure👍👍👍
Achingly beautiful car. Ride height and wheels are just perfect.
Fantastic car, since i was a lil kid, i am obsessed with F355. Currently i own a 600hp mk4 Supra targa, but if it gains enough value one day i would love to trade it for a 355. got to get hold of it one day dear me
Really enjoying these videos, we can't wait to see the E24 one! 🦈
Thanks for the feedback... sharknose video coming soon 👍🏽👍🏽
Beautiful car. Tasteful mods.
355 looked incredible when it came out.....in fact it made previous Generations look dated instantly....Still looks as amazing today....would love a slightly ropey manual, just work on it myself and modify it without worrying about resale value.
It was an improved 348 but have to admit, they improved it quite well. Has aged better than the 348.
I think you are a better presenter that those topgear fifthgear hosts who fuzzes about leather stuff... great video great choice of ferrari..more power
Appreciate that 🙌🏼

@@CarAudioSecurityUK I remember the 306 handled really well.Thanks for the info,cheers!
Loving the classic porsche
Disagree on the milage point, the garage queens with low miles generally have more problems.
Very true. A lot of the parts perish even when sat idle. Far better to drive the car and change parts and consumables.
Awesome looking car! Torn between this and the Testarossa in terms of looks...
348 gives you both :)
You should do a comparison video between the 355 and 964 turbo. Not many of those on YT
Maybe F355 and 993 Turbo - similar era?
im liking that Porsche in the background at 2:23 👀 but the 355 is gorgeous!
Amazing video Raj! What a collection of cars 👏🏽👏🏽
This is the best good looking Ferrari ever! I still remember I have seen it in the movie ROCK! The yellow Ferrari F355 and the black Hummer H1.
355s are legendary! I would however recommend you adding a 97-02 Viper to your collection. They too are an amazing experience to own and drive. Never forget a drive in a Viper
Very nice 355. Great condition. What are the rims sizes? Width and ET? I own a 348 and I think if those wheels fit fantastic to the 355, they could do as well to the 348
Always loved everything about the 355 but the maintenance and the cost is what has scared me away from it sadly 😢
If you buy the right car initially then the maintenance isn’t that scary ✌🏼
Raj, Beautiful car and my all time favorite. Get rid of that Meguiars heart!
Such a truly beautiful car !!! Epic V8 :)
We agree too 🙌🏽🙌🏽
I own a f430. The sound of the 355 is in my opinion, the best sounding Ferrari with the exception of the 250GTO.
A beautiful car indeed, a true connoisseur's ferrari.🤗
In my own videos is my f355 & 993 turbo together. I tried to post a link but RUclips wont allow because its getting more shit every day😂
Thanks buddy, the fuel line video was really interesting 👍🏽
I agree, the F355 is the best looking car Ferrari has ever made, IMO.
I considered selling the house and living in one of these, but then I saw a red toyota mr2 for sale and if I squint very hard it still doesn't look as good as the original
Awesome video, very well done! The so called purists love to cry about cars that aren't manual, but different people have different preferences and cars can be great regardless of the gearbox.
Well said!
I love the rims
The seating position looks a bit odd, as if Raj was perched on a cushion. And also the positioned the seat a bit further back for his height
Very nice car, my brother had a 355 some years ago and took it around Europe although I preferred the looks of the 348 that he had before even though he said it was nowhere near as good a car. I’m expecting your next episode on the Porsche to be brilliant. Cheers :-)
Awesome feedback, we also love the 348!
Also prefer the 348 look, with those epic side strakes. But would then like it to have that 5 valve per cylinder engine from the F355 😬
I know I’m just some guy but this looks like a car hoonigan would do proud 🤔
A very well presented car. Nice work Raj
Glad you like it 👍🏼
Nice one, Raj. It certainly is a looker.
Thanks Chris!
Awesome awesome I need one of those cars F1 gearbox the bomb the engine revs a really great with that gearbox thanks for posting your video I would probably put the same wheels on it it looks stock but ready to go
Thanks for watching and the feedback 👊🏼👊🏼
That’s my Dream Car ,Nice Car Sir👍👍👍
Very nice and clean Porshe i like this and also super Ferrari F355 Berlinetta.
Looks awesome...
Congratulations 👏👏👏
Do love the standard wheels but these are nice too
cant wait for the next vid keep them coming
I liked this video when I saw the lights go up
My favourite ever car absolutely love them
You have a very good taste for cars :)
Hey Raj, what is the spec on the rotiform wheels? I know they are 19", but what are the widths and offsets. Would love to get a set like those for mine. 😁
👀👀 Jheezz ,What a beautiful machine
Great video Raj, need to work on that music at the start 😂😎
Working on it!
@@CarAudioSecurityUK can't wait to hear it 😎
What sucks is the timing belt
Perhaps intentional ferrari gets more of your money cuz if you can afford they got you
The most beautiful car they designed
Best looking car ever.
Awesome episode bhai-ji
Thanks for the feedback 👊🏼
favourite .
2500 pounds for a cambelt change? that is a bargain!
didn't like the wheels though!
.love this model .. cool 😎
Thanks! 👍
Beautiful car!! 🥰
Hey Raj, I keep pulling up this video, Thanks for doing it. Absolutely beautiful wheels. Im trying to find one for myself, but the hard top is so difficult to find in Canada. Do you have any connections? And please, get the capristo!
Fantastic 👏, looks sounds amazing 💯🤟
I saw another video that said it’s best to buy the F1 version because you can easily switch it to a gated manual, but the reverse is not possible - is that accurate?
F355 best looking and sounding Ferrari ever 👍
Lovely wheels
belo video
How do you sell a F430 for an R8? Not dissing the R8 but F430 is just something else.
Needs a exhaust system! Nice car Raj!
It's a little sad that such glorious cars regularly fall into the hands of wealthy serial collectors, who seldom appreciate, or have the time to develop a bond with each new toy.

Cool video
Nice video but you keep mispronouncing something, it’s not “Rose-a” it’s “Ross-a”
Nice Vid❤
Wish I had bought the one I was looking at a few years back £35k. I would be lucky to pick up a decent one for less than £150k now.....
Wheels look great on the car!
Thank you 👍🏽👍🏽
NICE CAR
How’s the sound compare to the 360 and 430?
Awesome 😎
Ferrari got the design from the mr2 sw20. Look it up. The ol saying goes "poor man's Ferrari ". But really it was.. "Ferrari is the rich man's mr2".
Great vid and a lovely car with those wheels 👍 this channel is definitely going to grow fast keep it up
That's the plan! Thanks for the feedback!
I think this is one of the most beautiful designs Ferrari ever came out with, especially in that Rosso red
We agree too!
If only you knew how right you are.
