I’ve really become a fan of Kennan’s approach. I love Doug’s quirky take on features and digital tech, but I really enjoy Kennan’s technical/mechanical emphasis. The differing review styles complement one another very well.

You could get a “gated 6 speed manual” any year for the f355. Also the selling point of your car is it’s a 95 so it’s obd1 with no immobilizer AND makes more power than the ob2 cars which also have problematic issues. There’s a reason all f355 challenge cars are obd1

Classic case of never meet your heroes
Be sure you do major research on the Internet, and mainly KZread regarding many reasons to not purchase the F355 of any year. There are many major flaws that will constantly cause problems. The main one is the 5 Values that have blown up and burned a high percentage of these cars. There are a number of videos on KZread showing a F355 burning up. Also several inferior metals were used, which will also cause major repair problems and large bills. I have owned Ferrari, but never a 5 valve, and not with the inferior engines of the nineties. KZread and the Internet saved me a fortune by not purchasing any F355. I like the design, but that’s only good for sitting in your garage. I live and drive regularly between Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, to Palm Beach, but I never see these cars. My guess is the owners are scared to drive, and blow the engine while causing the vehicle to go up in flames, and possibly burn any passengers. Also note Ferrari briefly used in the 360, and decided to never use a 5 valve again. They decided to stay with the 4 valve from then to today. I am somewhat disappointed because I really liked the F355. However, I am like Enzo Ferrari, who said a Ferrari is not a Ferrari unless the engine is in the front. The future of Ferrari is not so bright. When Enzo passed, Ferrari was never the same. Then Fiat sold their 90%, and things started down, then Pininfarina broke away after a half century designing Ferrari, so I will never buy anything newer than the Boxer BBi.
as a tall person the seats moving forward to put the top up or down seems very annoying, I would be worried about my legs getting pinched on the throttle or against the dash... or is there so much space that this is a non issue? (i'm 198cm/6'6"/6.4'(i''m not familiar with freedom units, so correct my notation if you feel like it))
