The 3.2 cars had power steering save the Zanardi .

Nice overall car

Well, for starters, you shift it yourself and there's no power steering...very exotic.

I didn't care for them at all in period, but actually enjoy them and the noise they make now.

A friend got a near perfect one with 70k miles on it for $28k last year.

A bargain honestly.

LS,

More engaging than a new F or L? 

Wow.

Btw I hated them in their prime (no pun intended for those in the know), but like them now. Only thing I have issue with is that they are still 348/355 money.

At least the Zanardi is.

Clyde, what exactly happened to the NSX? Did they all catch fire in GA or something? How did their asses get handed to them? Street racing?

I didn't care for them new but like them now. They are actually more engaging to drive than 99% of new cars available.

OMG you really the the NSX is going to be something
Please they got there ass handed to them years back with that shit box V6 Acura engine 
The japs ( not being politically correct here sorry) don't get  when it comes to high performance cars 
Bottom line if you have $80K plus your really going to drop it on a YANG CAR !
Just look at the GTR shit and what it brings 
Lego styling with lots of horse power ! 
Gotta go your making me sick and I am vacation in SBH 


In victory you deserve Champagne
In defeat you need it!

     

Scars are Tattoos with better stories !

If you follow all the rules
You miss all the fun!

​The 458 is sympatico?  I think it's impressive from its flattering angles and perspectives, but the headlights are obnoxious and cheap, then it only gets worse in the cabin with painted plastic bits ... I've seen a Speciale with mega-buck DART stripes and laundry list of carbon cabin trim -- it was quite sumptuous, but a jaw-dropping "cottage by the sea" price tag for an already obsolescent vehicle (though with the cachet of perhaps being the swan song of Ferrari naturally aspirated donks.)  Certainly the most appealing view of the 458 to my eye:

Well, who am I to judge, from the front, I just don't see the 458 as distinct (let alone superior) compared to a (forthcoming) NSX.  At least it's not a 612 or a California (gawd awful, both of them, very hard on the eyes and heavy curb weight.)  Hard to comprehend how the 599 (brilliant, if you ask me) can exist, proving ​
Pininfarina
​ can do a car in modern language, yet deliver the 612, which to me looks like a second rate attempt from a first year design student.​

I agree with both of you, mostly.  I think the 328 was too "soft", and the F430 was what the 360 should have been from the start.  That said, like Matt (not to put words in his mouth, er, keyboard, er phonepad...), I find the 458 and the 488 to be beautiful, lithe, and tres TRES sexy, like a hot swimsuit model.  ;-)
