Seriously... I really think a 355 will not live up to the expectations you have created in your mind for it. Do not get me wrong, it is a fantastic sports car, and an amazing piece of automotive engineering, but it really is not gods gift to the automotive world. I have driven a number of them over the years. (in all honesty an F430 is a far superior vehicle to an F355).
If you get the opportunity to drive one, by all means take it. Go out and tear it up, as it will be something you will remember for a very long time. However just keep in mind that it is still a vehicle, and while it is a very nice one, it is not the greatest car ever.
Then again, for you it may well be, since the greatest car ever is something only you can decide. (but just trust me on this... if you can take a 430 out over a 355 do it). I would also recommend a Lotus Elise (flat out the closest thing you can get to a go kart and a vehicle that I would say I have had the most fun driving).
Just my $.02
