- With some service work due on Ian's F355 GTS, we took the time to have a closer look at some of the components on the car and how it all works, before taking it out for a drive.

As Michael Caine would say "not very many people know this" but..Yamaha developed both the 5 valve system and the exhaust valve for the 355, both straight from the Yamaha R1 superbike programme. Of course Ferrari never admitted to it but, it was Yamaha engineers who were contracted to develop it.
Thank you for this excellent video. As an owner of both a manual F355 GTS and a 355 F1 spider, I’ve never understood the negative perception regarding the F1 gearbox. When set up properly, I find it just as enjoyable to drive as the manual. A different driving experience sure, but not worse in my opinion. And the sound…well, it just doesn’t get any better than a 355 on full song. My cars also spend more time in storage than they should, but each time I take one out it feels so special.
These videos are criminally underrated. Keep up the good work and the views will come. Found your channel today from Mr Jayemm and I suspect that will help boost your channel. On another note, I never thought Id hear “Doo doo” and Ferrari in the same sentence, unless referring to the reliability of these 355 F1 systems
A million dollar class by a very classy organization. I almost felt after watching that I was going to be required to answer a few exam questions! Yes, the 355 is a ‘modem’ classic, and one I prefer to the less engaging 488, for instance.
Thanks for a very good video, Mates!
They updated to the 5.2 Motronic because it was able to have OBD2 which is what the USA required post 1996 for emissions. Nice video, always enjoy your posts.....
I knew update was for emissions but didn't realise it was to do with the USA you learn something every day
@@peterpotts5878 it may not be all States but definitely California would be one where they use the OBD2 port in part of the emissions test. I was reading about it on one of the Ferrari forums.
It doesn’t matter it’s a junk box it’s beautiful to look at but cost too much money to repair do you need in this amount of cash for this kind of car you can’t be rich you have to be Elon musk rich So I don’t hurt you regardless beautiful car but sad to say it is a junk
@@legendbodywork1313 After three years of ownership of my piece of “junk” I couldn’t be happier with my F355. Average annual maintenance has been around £2,000 (including a £3,000 cambelt change) and the value of the car has gone up by around £10,000 so I’m actually a bit ahead in profit.
Would be interested in what you drive and how much you are in profit (or loss) over the past 3 years when you take in maintenance and depreciation?
Wonderful video, and I was thinking that car is well looked after and in great condition - makes sense it’s owner is a very skilled and knowledgeable tech!
The best sounding v8 ever for me
Great cars and I had a great weekend in a 355 I hired for a weekend away in the early 2000's. I'd always go for a manual though as the gear change on a 355 is brilliant.
What a nice gentleman beautiful car hope you have many many years to enjoy it great to see a practical lad giving practical knowledge loved the video
Thank you another excellent and informative video Ian, you blend the right amount of interesting technical facts with your walk around the cars with the driving experience, brilliant - I have a 328 which is adorable :-) - but the 355 is the pinnacle in my eyes!
Great content, interesting to hear about and see the f1 system.
16:22 Small error... The *earlier* "2.7" cars had the separate intake pipes with dual MAFs. The car in your video is a later 5.2 with single MAF and engine ECU.
Great Video presented with your natural dedication and energy Ian as always. Superb example of 355, who wouldn’t want one, what a drivers car!!
I always thought it looked fun in silver. After 13 years ownership of our manual 355 Spider it never failed to make me howl in joyous laughter as I screamed through the rev range and handling capabilities in those annual summer months. Best regards. Catch you this year.
Still my dream car!
Thanks for a lovely add - only got a 190 cosworth which i like , but have driven a 360 once. Ferrari is still only a dream. Happy new year
Brilliant and interesting information about the 355.Thanks for taking the time to make this video.
Fantastic booming exhaust sound....very nice
One of the best looking Ferrari's I ever owned.
Excellent channel👍. Keep the content coming🇦🇺
Excellent video
Great video, very envious
Great video
Thx for the video ! I am Owner of 458spider & 355F1GTS even with Fiorano package/ I love the 458 but honestly the 355 brings more emotion I have Tubi installed brilliant screening sound 😉. I know the discussion about manual and F1 / me I never regret it I would buy F1 again .
I've never seen a driver of an 355f1 without a smile on his face especially when he passes 5000rpm !
This car was love at first sight.
Great video. Thanks.
One of the best sounding ferraris ever, got to be a Manuel though
proud owner of a 458 but love the 355.
I wonder if you could fit a motorbike style quick shifter to cut the ignition as you shift gears????
Mijn favoriete in het donker blauw
Beautiful cars, especially the profile and rear 3/4 view. I love that the exhaust bypassed the cat at higher revs, absolutely hilarious abuse if the rules. And people are upset about the vw emissions scandal.
Brilliant 👏🏿 👏🏿
3:54 is it best to run colder spark plugs.
Cool video can't wait to join the f355 Ferrari club 300+hp club ig
Nice to hear Ian chat away😂 uninterrupted
Have you ever had a 355 where the cam belts have failed. 5000 miles for every belt service seems so short for an engine out job
I chose a 348 GTS due to a more analogue feel and lower running costs
A little too soft for me, I’m not too bothered about the power , but I would’ve preferred a way more aggressive styling
Why is this engine able to turn pass 8,000 rpm?
like a VW , bet they didn't use that active exhaust system in the USA
The 355 is a modern Dino.... Discuss
“Brave leap forward.” More like a forced leap forward.
