they 355 1/4 time is somwhere around 13.5s, while that supra does 10s

that's a BIG difference

The Supra that they used in the movie only ran a 12.4 in real life. The car he was racing was a Ferarri 550 Maranello which I believe has a low 12's timeslip in stock form too. That race in reality could have gone either way depending on which car had the better driver. By the way, the guy that owns that Supra put $54K into it - I'd say it's more for show then go even though 12.4 is very respectable for a street car.

Still the Ferarri you can go out and come back with like 3 chicks in the car with you - one sitting on another's lap in the passenger seat, and one sitting on your lap while you're driving. Which would you prefer?

I don't think Ferarri even makes the F355 anymore - it's since been replaced with the 360 Modena (3.6 liter 390 horsepower V8 midmounted) if I'm not mistaken.

The car in the movie was an 355 spider. It was not a 550 Barchetta which you may have mistaken it for. However the only two things they have in common is 1. they are ferrari's and 2 they are convertable. They look nothing like each other.
And yes they do not make the 355 vany more it was replaced by the much better 360. Hands down the 360 is far greater than the 355 has ever been.

You're full of crap if you think that that was a 355 - there's no way in hell it was a 355 - the 355 has a distinct front end - that Ferarri was without a doubt a 550 maranello or barchetta (I forget which one is the convertible model, but it was definitely not a 355 - or a 360 the replacement for the 355 - which I believe came out in 1998 or 1997 - maybe even 1996, but that seems a little early for the 360 - not sure about that. And yes as I've stated before - the Supra in the movie did in fact run a 12.4 as it's fastest time. But as it turns out, that Supra is actually faster then a stock 550 (the convertible model is for somereason heavier then the non convertible model if I remember correctly).

Buddy look 1st you revived a 2 year old thread to post incorrect information in! Why?
Also the car was a Ferrari 355 spider black in color!
I don't care how many times you say it isn't but it is and if you are getting the 355 and the 550 confused you are by far not even close to a true Ferrari enthusiast. Period!
So go and rent the Fast and Furious and watch it again and come back and tell me it was a 550 Barchetta!

Sorry Ispankyourmom, but the car was a black Ferrari 355 spider.

I'll be damned - you're right. I apologize.
