Ferrari F355 GTS: Owned by Doug Hayashi

Raceaflais vs. The Ferraris

We have seem to run across a streak of bad luck. Last month, Wayne was complaining of a funny sound coming from his Ferrari F355. He took it into the dealership, and they said that he has a cracked header. Headers are under warranty for seven years, as it is an emissions part, so no problem, right? Except that this seems to be a common problem with many F355's, and there are no new headers anywhere to replace the old headers. So just weld the cracks in the old headers for now, and swap them out when the new headers come in, right? Except that Ferrari North America doesn't want anyone welding these cracked headers, they want the original piece that broke, and they want that part returned. So they tell Wayne that it will be at least three or four weeks until they can get a new header in. Bummer for Wayne. I crack up laughing...hey, ya got about six good weeks of use before it last went into the shop, what do you expect???

The very next day, I take my F355 to the dealer for an oil change. The service manager calls me later that day... to read on go to the official NSX Files story >>
