Dude you can buy any 355 and remove the power steering... 

Its not that difficult to do :)

So there's nothing exotic about a manufacturer offering it as an option?

I figured there was something more kosher than simply removing the power steering pump?

If the Vette wasn't so damn capable I'd consider an F355 6 spd but they are pretty slow by today's standards...  And I would hate to take it to the track and be spanked by a Boxster in it.  And as some have said, its the last really pretty Ferrari has done, the 458 is a looker too, but I am not 100% on board with it, the LED lights and funky front end... 

Performance will come and go, but styling and engine sound, along with a certain "driving feel" go a long way towards making a car desirable over the long haul. The F355 nails the first two out of the park, and I believe does a good job with the feel.

While slow, I'd like to believe it can still handle pretty well and reward driving skill.

You think a Boxster would take it at a track? Damn how times have changed!
 

To me a Ferrari's value goes up proportionately to the decrease in the number of douche owners who wax and polish...  F355's are squarely in that territory now.

Haha.....hopefully that # goes down. Don't know if people are still buying the 355 for trying to "floss".
