Pilsbury Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 http://atsearch.autotrader.co.uk/www/cars_...rch_full=SEARCH It's still a Toyota, so, why does the log book say it's a Ferrari 355? Unless it was built using a written off 355 and it's log book used, which makes it of dubious legality... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 If the log book says its a Ferrari 355, then why would it be cheaper to insure...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilsbury Posted October 15, 2006 Author Share Posted October 15, 2006 How does it sound like a 355? Last time I saw one, a 355 had a flat plane V8, which makes a noise very different to a 4 cylinder turbo... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicane-UK Veteran Posted October 15, 2006 Veteran Share Posted October 15, 2006 Having driven a Ferrari 355, and seen a fair few 'replicas' on the road, I have to agree with Pilsbury. These replica's are just sad and embarassing.. spending all that money to make something that doesn't look anything like the original (there are normally some laughably bad bits which just stand out by miles) and sound nothing like the real thing. Ferrari engines have a very very specific (and easy to identify) sound to them - a 4 cylinder turbo just is never going to get close to a howling italian thoroughbred engine.

berz Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 I went to a local "import night" at the request of some friends. There was a mediocre Countach clone with the scissor doors which got a fair amount of attention. The same people gawking at this car barely bothered with my toy. The most common comment/question I got was "Why don't you have the Lambo doors?" . After a while, I actually began to answer "They are Lambo doors. They're made by Lamborghini!" Then again, I suppose it's just a different mentality. To look at a car only in terms of aesthetics instead of feeling how it drives or appreciating what's under the hood.
