You can always drive the Ferrari (308, 348 or 355?) and see if you experience the same throttle issues... lol

Wait, make sure the Ferrari runs first...

Do I see a 57 BelAir in the works?

Oh she runs! No traction control and cable drive individual throttle bodies can't shut me down

You have the year right, 57 Eldorado Brougham.

Always loved the look of the 355! I heard that the maintenance is a b!@#% and the engine has to be dropped to do any type of work, and that the 360 Modena became the Ferrari that started the affordable maintenance if you can call it that on a Ferrari for that matter?

Funny,

The F355 is my ALL time favorite Ferrari and I always wanted to get one...so I had to "settle" for a more reliable "sports sedan" .. the ISF...

Nice collection... if you need someplace to keep your F355, I'll be happy to help

Thanks guys! The 355 is on the higher side of maintenance costs as far as Ferrari's go. (I will do it myself) 360 can be a bit cheaper as the engine is accessed through a panel behind the seats. 430 is timing chain. All of them have their issues though.

Mine hasn't given me any trouble so I would say so far so good for a 21 year old car.

Like stated before, this does not seem normal.

A bunch guys track this car and this has never been a problem.

In manual ans sport mode it snaps you back and the power is instant

ps thats a baddarse 4runner

Honestly it sounds like low ATF level to me. I've had all kinds of frustrating things happen when the transmission fluid level was low. They all disappeared when I set it to the right level.

Could this possibly be released to the Engine Management Software change made by Toyota/Lexus in 2009?
