    I became obsessed with lap times around Suzuka in Sega F355 Challenge at a local arcade. One of the lovely sit down, 3 screen cabinets it was. I think my initials filled the entire top 10 fastest times 😄
    I also managed to get a ride in a F355 for my 18th birthday when my mum phoned the Edinburgh Ferrari dealer and managed to convince them to take me out in one if she made a contribution to their chosen charity. She was told that was fine but the salesman would not be able to drive fast or break any speed limits. The salesman that took me out did not get that memo.

    I wish Ferrari made car designs like this still. All their modern stuff leaves a lot to be desired for me. The paint job in the video looks stunning, miles better then any cars I have seen in a long time. It looks like nail varnish that's how nice it looks.

    • @johnmitchell2269
      @johnmitchell2269 ปีที่แล้ว +13

      Pininfarina stopped designing Ferrari's after the 458 and F12.
      As for paint, I believe around 2012 all manufacturers were forced to use water based paint instead of solvent based due to environmental reasons. The water based paints don't last as long, but the quality of laquer (top coat) has improved a lot over the years.

      Totally agree. My favorite Ferrari era begins with the 456 and ends with the 599. The exterior designs were not over-wrought with trendy design cues. They were understated despite looking sensational in person.

    They were actually F40LM brakes without a parking brake. They also came with Kevlar OMP buckets and headlight blanks (no headlights and non-pop up) in the dealer kit. The factory removed the carpet and welded in the roll bar strengthening plates in the 108 factory cars. Every year the factory added more and more of the parts prior to dealer delivery.
    The raced cars were maintained by the dealers meaning you had an entire support team, spare parts, new tires, and full transport. The cars stayed with the dealer, you just flew to the track with your helmet, raced, then flew home for $5,000 USD per race.
    Sold my 1995 Challenge Evo a few months ago and miss it dearly. In the US, only the 1995 model year could be legally registered since the rest didn't update to OBD2. The last street legal factory race car, the last manual factory race car,

      I was wondering why the interior of the car in the video didn't look like other F355 Challenge with the cage and seats missing. I knew the US 1995 year limitation on registration, but does that apply anymore if one were to import a later year F355 Challenge from overseas now that they are all over 25 years?

    The pizza shop in my small town in central Victoria, Australia had the F355 Challenge game... I spent so much money on that, Daytona USA and Time Attack... No, Time Crisis. Yeah that was it.

    • @johnmitchell2269
      @johnmitchell2269 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      As a kid I used to play the same game at the cinema arcades. But as a kid I would select 'automatic' because I obviously didn't know how to drive back then. Would love to have a go on one now (the proper arcade version, not at home) but this time selecting manual and changing gear myself. I also spent loads on Time Crisis. Me and my mates took that game so seriously 😂 but what a game it was when it first came out. Colin Macrae Raylle using the yellow and blue Renault Megane. Need for Speed 3. Aryton Senna Racing on the Commodore/Omiga.

    I actually saw this exact F355 Challenge in the parking area at Brands Hatch for the drivers/personnell many years back, same plate and all.

    Spot on James. F355 challenge on the Dreamcast was ridiculously good at the time and felt far more "SIM" than anything that came before it. I suspect we were very much in the minority for both owning a Dreamcast and the game F355 challenge.

    A tiny bit jealous right now, not going to lie, but only because that thing is absolutely spectacular. The F355 is a master piece and that sound! I would hand over my left nut to have one of them in the garage.
    I still reckon Ferrari were at their best in the late 1990s. F355, 550 Marranello & 456 were utter perfection.

    My first Ferrari was a 355GTS. Silver over red. Looked like a spaceship. I loved driving it. Drove like a go cart. But it doesn't compare to the thrill I get when I'm giving my 575M the welly. Lot harder to get in and out of too. Surely your Speciale is more exciting too. I do know the 360 Stradale was as I had one of those for a day once. Love the shirt.

Now the secret it out! I hope you build one and then post more videos of it - take some road trips in it, would be epic.

    The other vital mods in the Challenge pack was a quick rack that replaced the worst aspect of the standard car, a ridiculous 3 turn lock to lock wheel with zero feedback and feel, and also the F40 derived brakes got rid of the hideously over servoed brake pedal which prevented proper heel and toes work. After 100k miles of traditional Ferrari driving I found both these two traits so annoying on the otherwise excellent 355 that I could not live with the one I bought new and so I sold it within a year.

    Simon Furlonger had a mint RHD one in stock when i visited to see the cars for sale- they let me look and get in whatever I liked- one I had to was this!! Unbelievable and the raw finished interior made me quiver!! What a thing 👌🏻👌🏻
    They didn’t have it long so if you get the chance to see one- take it!!!!! They’re rare!!

    When I used to work in Milton Park, Didcot back in the 90’s there was a company there that used to race prep these. Some of the cars they used to test around the estate were incredible.

    If I was going to drive such a great car, I would like an old school steering wheel, the metal ones with wood grain. I would also go without the spoiler. Otherwise I love the 355. It’s like a combo of old school and new school

    I have an F355 F1, a well designed and executed car and the last of the steel box tubed small Ferrari’s with lineage going back to the 60’s Dino. It’s a comfortable car that is so easy to drive smoothly. From the seats, steering, composed ride and telepathic engine response. Refinement and substance always comes to mind when driving. While not particularly fast, it’s such a mile eater you never want it to end. Also relatively easy to work on if your a DIY type as it does require a conscious level of maintenance. Worth it though as a long term stable mate. ❤
