    A850 Squadra Marlboro Ferrari 355 - A 355 with a twist!

    Update: Minor revison to the build. Anyone who purchased the car before the 27th of August do the following;

    - Increase rim size to 19"
    - Change stock wheels to Motegi Racing "Touge"
    - Decrease rear camber to 0.7, equalling the front.

    Thanks

    Greetings!

    I've not really done this whole tuning marketplace, so bear with me.

    I've always been a fan of Ferraris. Something about those red, middle-engined, crazy italian supercars has always made me go weak at the knees. So, I decided to start tuning them.





    What you have here is a Ferrari 355, tuned for what I believe to be perfect harmony of acceleration, speed and grip. She has 433hp and running on the stock sport tyres that come with it.

    0-60 time is 3.3 seconds, 0-100 is 7.6 seconds. It'll get to 170mph (or higher if you tweak the gears for longer tracks). Whilst the 60mph cornering Gs are 1.09, the 120mph is up at 1.16. It handles so smoothly that alot of the people who have tried this car believe that I somehow stuck a Subaru STi's running gear in there.

    I'm not the best driver, however here are some times I have set. There is alot more potential in this car in the right hands.

    Mugello: 1:50.509 (28th August 08)
    Suzuka: 2:04.013
    Silverstone: 1:51.188 (28th August 08)
    Maple Valley:  1:28.295
    Nurburgring: 7:40.228
    Road Atlanta: 1:22.578
    Sunset Peninsula: 1:28.498

    L o c k e posted these times;

    Maple Valley Short  1,500/ 38.900
    TT Russels Viper   1,011/ 38.123
    Motegi West  1,516/ 37.41

    Maple Valley: 1:27.306

    This car is VERY consistent. It is extremely hard to throw the car off the circuit and will go like the clappers once you are aquainted with it.

    3 of them are on the auction house right now, at 450k buyout (The car costs me 250k+ to buy usually).

    Thanks for your time. :)

    I can vouch for this ferrari from falken.

    I have been racing with Falken most weekends for the last 6 months or so and have lost count of the amount of times this car has spanked everyone in the room.

    And as he says it is consistant and sure footed. (Glad I spotted this post I have picked up the car and hopefully can give you a taste of your own medicine Big Smile [:D])
