Has enough power from the factory to blow all 4 tires off at 50+ mph. Thats with 335 rear meats.

And that is nothing compared to how this car handles in the twisties and at very high speeds.

There is a car out there other than the FD that needs the motor pulled for every other maintence work.



So whats the story behind pulling the motor?



That reminds me. I was at Ferrari of Houston in 2003 w/a friend of mine. He was looking for a new car. It was either a Maserati or a Ferrari. He looked at getting the 355 (I think), but it cost $2500 just to change the belts. They had to remove the motor to do so.

Beautiful. The Diablos are my favorite car ever. Something about the shape of those cars just turns me on.

That's not fast.

A yamaha R1 or any open wheel purpose built race car with aero is fast. Those two make the scenary go by in a blur.

We had to fix a transmission problem.



Ferrari(s) are a PAIN in the *** to work on. Those make working on rx7s look so easy...
