I know - wierd isn't it.
More clues perhaps - It is a 2 door 2 seat sports car made over a seven year contiguous time period that falls in between 1985 to 1999. It weighs about 1400kg with a rear biased weight distribution.

I'm gonna say no to both of those due to the year range.
Hey Sameer any more clues you want to throw out? I am truly stumped. The model had only a seven year life span, right? No versions of a model that was built for longer than that?

I was going to guess Pontiac GTO on page 3, but that's obviously just not it.

Yes to the former.
It was tough deciding between a 328 and 348 as they were both in my budget for very similar prices.
The 328 has the classical Ferrari looks with the signature tail lights, 288 GTO dials, fantastic reliability, gokart like handling but is a bit weak performance-wise and doesnt have the Ferrari engine sound that I wanted.
The 348 fights back with more power, better grip, better A/c (useful if this car is to be driven in Houston all year round). As far as engine note is considered, it is in a different ballpark alltogether - far superior. It is more expensive to service and the earlier cars 1989-mid1991 are more troublesome - Ferrari had rushed out this car to combat the NSX which was a class apart from the 328 and the 964. Also the first generation 348 has a snap oversteer tendency. The 91-95 cars are supposed to be more reliable and handle better as well.
As far as the looks go - I am not a fan of the rear strakes but the rest of the car looks quite modern. In fact it fools a lot of people into thinking that the car is less than 5 years old rather than its actual age.
I am looking for a decent 348 Series Speciale or TB or Challenge. Hopefully I can find one before the year is out.
SS - this is my favorite

It's a very nice car Sameerrao, I have driven one several times, it's quite a handfull without powersteering, but the feel is very pure.
These are pics from last week, this is the best looking tb I have ever seen, it has a wider track on the rear and the former owner gave it the GTB look. Sound of this one is great thanks to a new exhaustsystem.

Cool to hear your getting a 348, they look like they would be a fun car to have for the weekends. Good luck finding a clean one
