OT: Drove a '98 Ferrari 355 F1 Spider this weekend...

A coworker bought a 355 F1 Spider, Red/Tan, this weekend and I took it out for a spin. It there is any car that doesn't need an audio system, it has to be a Ferrari, just awesome sounding. The paddles were really cool, I felt like it was a video game. Drove on a good twisty road but too much traffic. However I was the passenger on the way back on the same road and the car felt completely neutral, very nice. My only complaint would be that the wheel well sticks into the foot well a lot, making the dead pedal really close to the brake, about the same place as a clutch would be. It wasn't very comfortable. Other than that, it was awesome.

My driving impressions of the 355 Spyder...

It's strange, the car doesn't sound 'as nice' in the cockpit. If you're standing outside, it sounds great... I was sort of disappointed with the in car sounds. The interior is pretty crappy for the car's price (the F360 is much better). I've been in a F355 with a Tubi (sp) Exhaust system, and that sounded much nicer.<br>
<br>
The handling's nice and neutral, but the rear end seems to kick out suddenly at the limit, not progressive at all. It'll definately surprise the non experienced driver =).<br>

Attached is an old video of me having fun in the F355 hehe.
