Yu Suzuki had an actual F355 at the time, and the team modelled it at Suzuka and whatnot. You can do this sort of thing when you comeup with OutRun. Apparently Rubens Barrichello used Challenge as a racing simulator.

Re: 348 - I read somewhere that Ferrari's lead test driver broke his wrist driving an F40, so wasn't able to sign off on the 348's final dynamics. I, too, expect that fresh rubber, an alignment, and a specialist shop would tidy things right up.

I also sent this to Jonny, but some folks I know are currently building a Goldwing-powered Mini. RWD, 7spd DCT. I expect it will be hilarious to drive, their other builds are top notch.
