get a life
Used 355's are selling as low as $80,000. Mid price seems to be closer to $105-110,000.

Hell a Ferrari is a Ferrari, I own a 355, and you know what the wife drives the sl55, I will keep driving the 355. Bunch of losers on this site of *****s.
If you cant afford to drive one just admire it.

Hmmm, There is a mole in MB world. J/K. I am a Ferrari fan and think they are great cars. I like the F355 Berlinetta and the GTS.
What the hell is wrong with this SallasMichael guy? He should get his as* kicked off the board.

Now there is no need to be arrogant people.

What a tool.
Well said E55AMG99. Jeeze, these people with their "image". Sooo pretentious.

Ever since i got my sl55 i have wanted to do 1 thing ... race a ferrari. well i finally got my chance. I finally picked up my car from the body shop (just added lorinser rims and bodykit . will post pics soon) and i pulled up next to this yellow 360 spyder. the guy driving looked like a young dot comer, and he had a real good looking girl next to him. of course we know whay the yellow ferrari means ... hes lacking something in his pants. anyway we get up to the light and i tell him i always wanted to race a ferrari. Being an ignorant guy he laughs and said "you think your mercedes could keep up with my ferrari?" anyway he revs up his car with a big smile on his face and when the light turned green we both punched it. usually when i punc my car, the wheels skid out, the slip control turns on and it starts up again. i guess since i put on band new 305 tires on my car, it just took off. i ended up killing the ferrari by one full car length . lets just say he didnt have a smile on his face when he caught up at the next red light. its just a shame i didnt get a chance to talk to the girl he was with. she would have looked real nice in the sl.

god bless amg.

Hey!!!

I have am SL55...and I beat up on my Fcar buddies all the time. I also happen to have multiple Fcars.....and my girlfriend has never complained about any inadequate body parts.

It is fun however to humiliate snobby dudes with girls. Have fun but be careful who's pants you are looking in!

hahaha funny how we all fight for our cars. Altho both Benz and Ferraris are fast cars but they are not designed for the same thing. it's like comparing apple to orange. different ppl likes different cars.

I personalily think Honda can do better job than ferrari if they try. Why? because look back at 1990 when they launch the NSX. it was faster than every ferrari on it's production line with everything made out of aluminum from chassie to engine. and it's been 14 years now the car still haven't change much ever since.

There is a video of NSX type R tested on "Top Gear" video having a faster track time than F575 by almost 2 seconds. I think Ferrari is just a Name you throw your money at to look good in. who said you can't wear a $50 multifunctional Timex watch and not knowing the time compare to wearing a $5000 Rolex?

As long as we are happy with what we have. there is certainly no best car because there are always better cars out there. so stop fighting about it and go out and drive. maybe you'll find a turbo charged nsx faster than your benz! lol

What an idiot of course he was going to loose that said though you have to think you had 100 horses on him (depeneding on his exhaust) as well as 230 foot pounds so you got to hand it to the ferrari for keeping up well sort of. After driving the S55 i know that engine and dont mess with them hehe. Good kill but you need to race a 575m or better yet the replacement for the 360 which should have just north of 500 horses and 400 foot pounds with the 4.2 V8 from the Masseratti (spelling?)

Hmmm ... a SL55 drag racing a 360 Modena - sure the SL will pull the Prancing Horse. No brainer.

BUT, instead of racing down Wilshire, go to Willow Springs and the results would be different, assuming both drivers can actually drive!

I've had similar results - pulling E36 M3s and E34 M5s ... wasn't fair - the Velvet Hammer had more HP/Torque, just like the SL55 ...

BTW, Ferraris = SpIder and Maseratis = SpYder .... don't know why there is a difference especially now that they are owned by Fiat. Go figure.

I can't agree with you more!

BTW, I'm not interested what's in your pants - anyone who drives that trike/car/motorcycle - whatever you call that thing (T-Rex), has big enough ***** for me!
