I know a lot of people here will tell you that there are a lot of other cars that are "better" for the money, but they've probably never even ridden in one...let alone driven one. Riding in a Ferrari was something special, I can only imagine what its like to wring one out.

BTW, his father recently traded up to a F355 F1 Spyder, so that should tell you something.

My JEEP is not an SUV, and your SUV is not a JEEP.

348 over a 360? 355 i might understand, who do you get your grass from?

Right here I got love for the 348, I love how the back looks like a Pontiac

But seriously folks i do have love for the 348

If someone gave me the keys to a 348, you wouldn't hear a single complaint out of me!

much rather one of these bad boys (yes even over a 360 modena, not so much the new F430 though)

but from what i have seen the 348's go for fairly cheap (considering it is a ferrari)

local porsche dealer has 2...one for $67,000 and one for $74,000...i guess thats cheap

"Sure I am this day we are masters of our fate, that the task which has been set before us is not above our strength; that its pangs and toils are not beyond our endurance. As long as we have faith in our own cause and an unconquerable will to win, victory will not be denied us." - Churchill

no that isn;t cheap, considering that high retail value for a 93 348tb is $52k

compared to later model's like the F355, the 348's seem clunkier in the shifting and a lil harder to drive maybe. just my observation.

You missed the rest of his sentence.

I don't recall where I read this, but I read that 348's had/have a lot of mechanical woes. Kinda remember reading that the transmissions were crap and cost a TON to replace. The thing I read said to avoid the 348, and make every possible effort to get a 355 instead.

The 348TB/348TS had an odd engine/transmission layout. Unlike the 308/328, the 348 had it's engine mounted longitudinally. The Mondial was also updated and face-lifted in 1989 and it too got the 348 engine and transverse transmission and was designated Mondial T.

...that said, I would'nt kick it out of the sack!

If you really want to know a lot about any Ferrari check out Ferrarichat.com - that is a really good site.

The 355 is one of those few special cars that will ALWAYS be hot as hell, I don't care what year it is

Agreed

Pretty much sums up what I tell people when they are contemplating a 348 as their first Ferrari.

Damn.

Actually, you are only partially right. The 348 and Mondial T had the engine mounted like the 355 and 360, a transverse layout. The "T" in Modial T stands for transverse. In the earlier 308GT4/308/328 V-8 Ferraris, the motor was mounted across the body, like a MR2, or FWD set-up.

Yes there are tons of other cars with more power for the money. But I tell you what.....the car is worth every penny!

Here's a pic of the old car:

Ummm, the 348, 355, and 360 have longitudinally mounted engines. The bold type in your quote means transverse.

Just kidding- It is a cool car though. everyone that sees it thinks it's a Testarossa.

God I love that car, even though it is long gone. Tubi + Italian V8 = Pure Sex, end of story. Best performing car of its time, maybe not...but it is 100% Ferrari. Those that have any idea will understand. Its best that I don't try to explain any more. All I know is that I will own a Ferrari at some point in my life, even if its "only" a 348.
