Sell the F355, buy a Pantera, this is way easier.
A Pantera against a F355, NEVER?
Sorry to say that, but if it would be a Testarossa, you may find someone. But for a F355... puuu. A pantera is a bad ass Ferrari and a F355 is a soft boiled Ferrari. Is kind of the opposit of a Pantera.
Just the portfolio of the F355 does not fit a Pantera owner.
Not a bad car either, but not the one a true Pantera owner would switch to.
Maybe you have something else in your collection more interesting.
Your comments are certainly appreciated to represent the broad group we have on this board with one large common denominator: Pantera passion.
Yet in speaking for the seller (and he can correct me if I'm wrong) I didn't feel he thought they were the same or one goes "in place of the other". Yet he only meant to see if anyone would trade, just as I've traded guns for coins, realizing they're quite different.
Personally, I sold my Pantera outright, and there's nothing that would exactly fill those Campagnolos, but I could find equivalent joy in many other cars, perhaps an F355 even. So the seller was just offering options.
And btw, an F355 posted faster around Fiorano than the Testarossa, so not as soft as mentioned. (A 348 probably didn't fare that well, but I never followed those for many reasons.)
Anyway, thanks to the OP for offering an interesting car and hope you find a good home for it AND that you make a good home for your future Pantera.
