    I believe the gas tank was move to the front of the car. The passenger compartment was then extended into the gas tank area. Allowing the seats to go further back

    Add an access door and you too can do the timing belt with engine in.

    Would never pay $74,800 for that Frankenstein piece of work, they completely destroyed the car and weight balance.

    I don't know... I think they may have improved balance 75% of the weight is behind the driver. Can;t speak to the rest but it's safe to assume the bulk head was shopped up and pretty hard to verify what was good or bad there. Its a gamble for sure, I would not buy it myself.

    I can't get away from the freaking guy, hawking every single product made on TV commercials. Damned if I'd buy his car and double-down on the Shaq overexposure experience.

    The only thing I like about this car is the brake kit. Other than that, poo.

    It also doesn't look like a 7,000 mile car to me. That leather looks tired to me. That mentally bubbled HVAC panel also suggests (at least to me) that it's not been owned by anybody who ever really looked after it either.

    Poor thing. No F355 deserves to be frankensteined like that.

    What's with all the hate for the "poor car"?

    Shaq is a huge guy...he wanted a 355 he got it. If you were an enormous person and lusted after the 355, this would be your only opportunity to drive one.

    I'm 6'1" and barely fit in the 355. With my helmet on my head is basically in fixed position touching the roof lol

    No one is disparaging that he did it, we get it, he's huge, he has money, why not!. No one wants it is what folks are saying. Different issue. Do you?

    If someone actually wanted to make money from it, they’d buy it and restore it back to 100% oem

    then with Shaq’s ownership the car would actually then be worth a premium to many people....

    look at wilt chanberlain’s countach... He didn’t really fit in that either but they didn’t mod it.

    but in order to do that and make money, you’d have to buy it around $35k

    it does have low mileage but being an f1 spider, it already occupies the lowest spot on 355 values. The reason no one is buying it is no upside at that selling price and most do not want to use it as is.
