Having been an SCCA National License holder back in the '70s (won a couple of regional races in S. Cal.) as well as the owner of what now are classics...'55 Porsche Speedster, '67 Duetto Spider, various Austin Healys and MGs I am a certified gear head. Always hoped to own a Ferrari in my life but while I could buy one, the cost of maintenance scares me especially because I would want one with decent performance meaning at least a 355. So a little research latter I became aware of the SC400 which looked decent and also was rare enough that I wouldn't be seeing myself every other car. Bought a '92 SC400 about 5-6 years ago and modified the suspension and brakes to lower it and improve the stopping. Did what I could to improve the horsepower but it was still down 40 or so to the later model Sc400 also with the 5 speed. So began a nationwide search and finally found a how mileage (104000) '98 in Arizona. A little negotiation and bought it and had it shipped to me. Well, it was everything I wanted. Ferrari color scheme, red with tan interior and while there are myriad faster cars, it had all the power I need. Now it also has Toyota Supra suspension, Lexus 400 sedan brakes with cross drilled rotors and 18" wheels with 40 series tires. Goes plenty fast, handles wonderfully and stops amazingly. Best package I've ever had and apparently is also appreciating in value although have no planes on selling unless I win the proverbially lottery and can afford a Ferrari. Probably last car for me, in my 70s, only driving 5000 a year so with legendary Lexus reliability and longevity should last my lifetime. Then I will leave it to my son.
