　　F355's Pininfarina-penned lines were honed by 1,800 hours in the

　　wind tunnel. As the first quad-cam, five-valve Ferrari, the F355

　　broke with Ferrari's traditional numbering system (308 = 3.0 liters

　　+ 8 cyl) but instead stood for 3.5 liters and 5 valves. Power

　　jumped to 375 horsepower at an impressive 8,500 rpm, thanks to

　　sophisticated mechanicals such as titanium connecting rods, an 11:1

　　compression ratio, a Bosch Motronic M5.2 engine management system

　　and a dry-sump oiling system. Power is put to the ground through a

　　good set of 235 X 40 ZR X 18 front and 275 X 35 ZR X 18 rear

　　MIchelin Pilot Supersport tires mounted on scuff and damage free

　　18? wheels. The F355 is seriously fast, sprinting from 0-60 mph in

　　4.7 seconds and hitting a top speed of 185 mph! Power steering

　　makes low-speed driving effortless, and the power top makes

　　top-down motoring easy.F355 Spider s/n 108800 starts instantly,

　　pulls impressively and stops in a confidence-inspiring way. The

　　suspension is tight and compliant as one would expect of a

　　well-documented, low mileage, fully-serviced Ferrari. The engine

　　and engine bay have been cleaned and detailed, the floor pan and

　　undercarriage are clean and dry with no significant road rash on

　　the aerodynamic floor pan or suspension components. There is no

　　evidence of structural damage or repair. The light alloy engine and

　　suspension castings show very well. Does not have the usual "sticky

　　switch" problems. The extensive service work including a recent

　　engine-out service and clear bra and the overall condition shows

　　that 355 s/n 108800 has been well maintained and cared for by her

　　previous owners. Has only 2,657 miles since the $33,929.01

　　engine-out service! Unlike many 355 spiders, the power top works

　　smoothly and as it should! As the first of the modern-era

　　Montezemolo inspired high revving V8 Ferraris, F355 Spider s/n

　　108800 is a very user-friendly, low-mileage (18,996 miles), pride

　　of ownership, 6-speed, topless Ferrari and is priced to sell at

　　$139,950 or best offer.
