Yes indeed, you are a TRAITOR! You bought a car with a smaller engine, twice the cams, and 2 1/2 times the valves, and 27 times the maintenance costs, but no more raw power. HOW DARE YOU!?!?
Kidding - I love 355s and the engine note on THAT car is superior to ANY other Ferraris (to me). I have a V12 Ferrari (BB512i) and still marvel at the F1 shriek the 355 puts out.
These cars have dropped a bit of late, and I well remember when people said they'd NEVER go below $70grand. These cars are awesome values. I'm sure you did GREAT.
A lot of people call this the 'best V8' they ever made. Looks wise too, it's a killer.
The 'sticky dashes', exhaust manifold leaks, and other not so fun 'quirks' have brought their prices down, but hey, when you're a "Pantera guy" you can put up with ALL OF THIS because we know how to fix stuff the factory forgot!
Enjoy that car. The Berlinetta is the hottest, and yellow ain't no bad color either!
