Thought it was a new serial killer.
-

I assume you were trolling. Either way just get a Corvette for your weekend driving.
-
ugly and no room inside... fun to drive

NO balls what so ever :-\

haha, i swear, that's was my first (and only) thought ;D

Unique looking but it depends on what "weekend driving" means for you (like trackdays or just quiet driving around). Also it's a shame that it looks like a hot rod but it doesn't have a V8...

Want to buy one to boost my ego and cover up insecurity issues

Looks cool, especially in yellow or black.
Doesn't have the go to match the show. When you get bear off the line by a Honda Civic Si, it brings reality into perspective.

Thanks ..
the only thing that scares me about buying a used ferrari / lamborgini is the repair
Cost / mainetance :o
I have a good paying job but I'm not rich by any means and wouldn't be able to afford the repairs if the clutch or e-gear goes out :-[ which I heard is one of the most common repairs that needs to be done.. Can cost between to $7,000 to up to $13,000.00 depending on the model of the car :-\

Why not look at a Cobra kit car? Awesome experience to assemble your own car if you like wrenching and the Cobra is a classic.
Factory Five and JBL Motors both make some very nice kit cars with quality components.

Factory Five also makes an amazing Shelby Daytona kit car (along with the Cobra)...

It's humiliating to drive that car. Looks dynamite, but its wimpy engine can be beaten off the line by several econoboxes. Probably among the last cars one would want for the weekend, unless appearance only is your game.

I'm 40 years old .. no racing for me.. just looking for another cruising car..
I have only driven my vette 120 mph once on a straight way to test the paddle shifters and that's
when I bought it back in 2009 :-\
-
Fuck the haters. The Prowler still looks sweet and it turns heads. Go for it.
-
Buddy of mine had one, Sweet car, real head turner......I'd say go for it, just dont get yellow.

True, the Hemi engine would rock I saw a couple with the Hemi online for sale.

we must be looking in the same area.. I found quite a few 911 turbo's from 01-03 for 30-40k with roughly 50k miles.. some 60k. hell, I even found an '01 for 45k with a bunch of Techart goodies (body,turbos, ect..) with less than 35k miles. white on red... sexy as hell.

I like the 348.. sounds great with a tubi exhaust. I've been talked out of buying one a couple times. ("dude, you're a fucking idiot.. expect to spend $8k/year in maintenance" ect...) but shit, I don't wanna shift anymore. pushing a clutch with asscheeks full of oil sucks... the 355 isn't that much more than the 348 nowdays (also sounds great with tubi exhaust ;D ) and has paddle shifters, but i'm weary of the tranny/electronic shifting reliability (and spending $8k/year in maintenance. lol).

I think a good 355--that has has been well maintained and has had the exhaust manifold replaced, and I think the rings were made of inferior metal up until '99, is around 80k? The 355 was made specifically to rectify the 348's existence. Luca Montezemolo, the head of Ferrari had said that the 348 was the Ferrari that should be forgotten (beaten by the NSX and the GMC Syclone) and that it was an embarrassment to the Ferrari name.
the 355 was the last of the wedge shaped Ferrari's, but the start of the Rennaisance of the small displacement V8 Ferrari packing a shit ton of hp (but low torque)...plus it has it's own distictive looks, unlike the 348 which apes the 512 TR...
i'd say that for the 90s, the 355 and the 993 911 Turbo were THE SHIT.
BTW, I'd say that the 355 sounds the best out of all the V8 Ferraris, past and present.

and not the Ferrari Mondial? lol.. i'm embarrassed to say that back in '01 I almost bought one for around $20-25k.... just so I could say I had a Ferrari. lol... thank gawd nobody had to talk me out of that purchase, as I came to my senses on my own.
having raced porsches for years, I've never been a fan of their sound.. whether it's stock/aftermarket/race exhausts, in the back of my mind, I was always thinking 'volkswagon' lol

It was this article that did it.

the Mondail while bad, wasn't humiliated by a American truck or by a Honda...
I liked the old skool Porsches and their raspy engine note...it's different than say an American V8, and i also like the sound of I6s---from Japan and Germany, and the one that started the whole sports sedan, the Jaguar Mark II.

What is a good price to pay for a 355?

What is a good price to pay for a 355?
ive been out of that market for a couple years, but id guess in the 60's... maybe low 50's, depending on miles and maintenance records.
personally, I wouldn't pick one up unless you already had a 'weekend' car. I absolutely love Ferrari's, but for 60k I can pick up a GT-R that's freakin trouble-free and reliable (with more 'driver amenities')... and you won't spend 10% of the value of the car in maintenance every year while only driving it 6k miles.
my 'car priorities' go 1- big german/Japanese lux sedan for me (safety), 2- medium german/Japanese lux sedan for her (safety), 3- big suv for both (kids.. crossfit/work equipment), 4-low cost of ownership 'sports' car.. NSX, 911, GT-R, ect..., 5- sports car just to say I own it... Ferrari 355 coupe, red, with tubi exhaust.. preferably a stripped down Challenge Model with a solid engine/tranny. ;D
-

Probably should ask where you can find a good one. Exhaust manifolds crack, and some other stuff, like inferior metals used for some internals.

This could have been such a fun car, but Plymouth hobbled it with a weak 214hp. 400hp would have made this thing scream, but instead a fucking Dodge Neon SRT will walk all over it. Sad.
-
^^ Also, it's a shame for crash standards Chrysler had to install that funky dual front bumper, ruin's the lines of the car.

The V8 wouldn't fit, correct?

They could have designed it around any engine they wanted to, but their strongest motor at the time was a 250hp V-8. Would have been a wash with the added weight. Some people have done V-8 conversions, even a Toyota 2JZ. Those must scream..

V8 Prowler:

There was also an official SEMA concept in 1999 called the Howler which had a V8 and also featured bigger trunk space (what many owners had requested).
Plymouth wanted to follow a hot rod mentality for the Prowler ("raiding the parts bin") but at the time they tried to source engine and transaxle from the truck division. That meant either reduced passenger space or longer wheelbase and messed up weight distribution.
The Titan 2JZ is an amazing piece of work, they even modified the front suspension to an inboard design.
