Sidez, it was everything I thought it would be and looking back I still don't think I took full advantage of that opportunity. You see, my grandfather was somewhat of a car collector and surprised me one day by bringing a 348 into his collection. For as long as I could walk, I always loved Ferrari, and longed for the day to have one or access to one. He had the car during my college years and I drove it every chance i got. All I can say is that the sound produced from the rear of the car was absolultely amazing. The car handled beautifully, feeling very lite on its feet, and it was awesome shifting the gears through the gated shifter. Unfortunately the car ended up getting sold and there wasn't much I could do about it. I am excited for the day when I can get back into one of these amazing machines.

Yea man there is definatly something about those red-heads that has you coming back for more... I think they lost some of their appeal from the past especially with LDM at the head of the company, but they are still very appealing vehicles and the deprication on them is almost completly non-existant.. even their overproduced Modena fetches 50% of the MSRP at 10 years old with high mileage... here is a similar car I am seriously considering as my weekend vehicle... http://www.rossioncars.com/

Sidez this is crazy, I think you finally solved a mystery of mine for quite sometime now. Check out my user gallery picture file HPIM0228. I took this picture at Ferrari show that I went to a couple of summers ago. I see this gray car traveling up the hill and I'm thinking to myself what the hell is that. I think that it was actually one of these Rossion cars!!!! Let me know if you agree.

I don't know if it was a Noble sororonos. The car in my pic really looks like the Rossion.

I also have too many cars that I owned before so I'll just list what I currently have.

1965 Chevelle SS, 327. Price was so good I HAD to buy it!
1965 Chevelle SS, 468. Beautiful car at a killer price. HAD to buy it!
1967 Chevelle SS, 496 w/871 supercharger. Have had this car since 1983. It's my car for life, will always have it.
1970 Chevelle Convertible, 350. Price was so good I HAD to buy it!
1971 Nova, 355 mini tubbed. Sell pending on this one.
1976 Suburban, 454. Messy! Bought it for the engine.
1981 GMC 1 Ton Truck, 305. Bought this for the 454 that was in it (now it's a 496 and is in the 67)
1989 Suzuki Swift Gti, 1.3 DOHC. Soon to be turbo charged.
1992 Heritage Edition* Camaro Z28 Convertible, 305, rear mount turbo. I wanted a convertible Camaro. This is it!
1992 Heritage Edition* Camaro Z28, 350. See Heritage Edition explanation below.
1992 Heritage Edition* Camaro RS, V6. See Heritage Edition explanation below.
1992 Camaro Police Interceptor, 350. Ran across this while looking for the Z28 Convertible HAD to have it!
1994 Suzuki Swift Gt, 1.3 DOHC. Another attempt at going "rice". Car is now parted out and ready for the salvage yard.
1999 Chevy Metro, 1.6 conversion. My good mileage car. 38mpg without even trying while driving the **** out of it!
2000 Ford Windstar, V6. Wife's. I wouldn't drive a Ford!
2004 Scion xA, 1.5. Wife's car, soon to be son's.
2005 Crossfire SRT6, 3.2 Supercharged! See Camry comment.
2006 Toyota Camry, 2.4. Was supposed to be mine but the wife stole it from me! Told me to get another car. That's when I got the SRT!!!!

Boy that took awhile. Good thing I'm at work and getting paid to do this!!

* Heritage Edition (H/E) Camaro - the H/E was an option on the 92 Camaro that consisted of: Racing stripes, blackout headlight pockets, front grill same color as car (vs black), a 25th Anniversary badge on the rear of the car. The H/E option cost an additional $175.00. Now, if you go to NADA.com and look up a 92 Camaro Z28 Convertible it lists for $7-$8k or so. Look up the same car with the H/E option (has an asterisk by it) and the value jumps to $17k or so. That's why I bought the H/E Camaros' cuz people were selling them cheap. Now I'm stuck with them!
Oh well!

A 2003 VW GTI 1.8T with upgraded Audi TT K04 turbo and many, many more mods. Turned a 13.6 @101 mph.

You can read all about it here.... http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2234661

It was a really fun fast car while it lasted. Buddy up in Minnesota owns it now.
