Modern Cars are Bland: The Ferrari 308 Isn’t

[@normsallitt2753]

Finally, a young car reviewer/enthusiast who doesn't sound or present like DeMuro and got everything right in his knowledge of a classic and iconic Ferrari. Keep up the great work with the same type of content, and you'll do very well with your channel. My only suggestion would be to lengthen your driving time in these types of cars and show your full experience while pushing them through their paces. Lastly, get your hands on some classic Porsches, I've owned several through the years, and they're all extremely different in their driving styles and dynamics.

Well done video blog of the mighty 308 👍🏼. I’m a lucky owner of 76 GTB and needless to say it’s the most fun, yet challenging visceral driving experience. It’s basically the 180 of a Tesla or just about any new car for that matter. Unlike the cars of today that drive you around, “YOU” are the one that drives and controls this car! It’s as raw as a car can get and by the time you’re done with a long drive, you are tired, you are sore, but yet 110% satisfied because you connected as one with your car. Long live the classics, especially the manual shifting classics ❤

The reality hits hard. For many years, I considered a Countach a car that, if everything went well for a while, I could potentially own. That bird flew away several years ago. Thankfully, I do have a 308, NSX, and C4 ZR-1 to keep me smiling!

Great video dude! Do more.

[@joko888]

Such and informative and well put together video. Please do more cars!!

[@jhrrogers]

Great video! WE NEED MORE!

I think you inadvertently created an iconic metric: NET HORSE POWER = Engine HP - Horse Weight of car. I suggest you trademark it.

[@technom3598]

Nice job on the video

[@Bookasaurus]

What song does the high-revving V8 sing? Is it Rhinestone Cowboy, Shining Star, something else?

[@NewpsBeach22]

Amazing review of an amazing, iconic car! I love mine!

[@thomasretzios]

Thank you! What year and spec is yours?

[@NewpsBeach22]

@@thomasretzios An 84 QV American…it looks exactly like the one in the video but with a black interior. I love it. The deep front spoiler, all of it. I also have a Porsche 930 and a 997.2 Turbo S. The 308 is the best cruisemobile among the bunch…and it is also an insane conversation starter. People seriously love those cars!

[@Assyl.Yacine]

Lol this dude is so chill. Thanks for the video. However please note that Ferrari engines are literally designed to be revved. They don't like lower revs.

[@YTOnceAgain]

"Is it fast? No." Yeah, well... let's look at it from this perspective: The vast majority of drivers would not be able to exploit the potential of this vehicle even remotely. Not even half of it.

Usually don’t agree with folks like yourself. Today I do.

Grazie bel video su un'auto stupenda 😘 La versione con carrozzeria in vetroresina (o fiberglass) fu prodotta solo in 712 esemplari, per passare in seguito al consueto acciao 🖐

The best sports car under $75K is the FD RX7.

[@Udana_007]

unreliable and slow

[@rexseven93]

@@Udana_007 No and no. It's faster than a 308, by far and mine has 182,000 miles. It's a real sports car. It's going to need some attention. Just like any other real sports car.

@@rexseven93 sealing issues, oil consumption and issues in the rotary housing sliding surfaces (edit: shouldve bought a gen 1 nsx's, thats a better sports car, more reliable, and properly engineered

[@rexseven93]

@@Udana_007 A gen 1 NSX was triple the price when I bought this 26 years ago with 12K miles on it. It's okay you don't like the RX7. I have no regrets and have never really wanted another car since. It has saved me money by removing the desire to get something else every few years. It is a timeless design that will always look great (proved by the comments and waves every drive) and drives like a sports car that doesn't weigh too much. It is the apex of sports car design for me. Light, powerful enough and analog.

You will see how much of a money pit foreign cars are.

[@NewpsBeach22]

Wrong. The 308 is bulletproof. From an owner.

[@thomasretzios]

My 1998 Toyota Camry was a foreign car, is that a money pit?

[@Udana_007]

so when do we tell him how unreliable and sluggish it is?

[@thomasretzios]

What is your pick for under $75,000?

[@ODucks55]

What are you comparing it to? Cars of that era or cars of today?

[@NewpsBeach22]

You’re completely ridiculous. It’s not unreliable at all. I’ve had mine 5 years and it spends one week a year getting checked out/serviced, and it has never let me down. As for sluggish, again, compared to what? I have a 2011 997.2 Turbo S. Yes, the Porsche is way faster but it’s a completely different car - deliberately. Seriously. Get it together.
