How Does A Modern Ferrari Compare To A Classic? Ferrari F430 and Ferrari 308

How does a modern Ferrari F430 compare to my classic Ferrari 308? Which should you buy? How differently do they drive? How expensive are they to run? The F430 was a seminal car for Ferrari coming for the first time with a brand new V8 engine! but will the more modern car give me the raw emotions of the older classic car?

[@trappertrapper154]

Looking at the two side by side only highlights just how gorgeous the 308 is.

[@simonhodgetts6530]

And petite!

[@tomblatch1594]

I thought the exact same thing. That shape is sublime. What do we no longer see lines/proportions like this?

[@JustARandomFio]

With the F430 you'll have a greater chance of arriving at your destination, it will also be comfier, faster, and quicker, and most certainly cause less headache and money drain, but, nah, I personally would go with my heart and pick the 308 any day. Especially after having spent a lot of time and cash to make it shine again. It's a heart thing - the 308 looks iconic and just fabulous, whereas the F430 is a bit of a meh in my eyes, one of my least favorite ones in terms of style. Edit after finishing the video: I'm pleased, we think the same :)

[@baasbowing]

Well said. Sums it up pretty much. @Jack…you CAN’T sell the 308!! If anything, exchange it for a Euro GTB…but you need a 308 in your life.

[@JustARandomFio]

@@baasbowing I'm a bit biased, tho. Always loved and drove exotics and classics (never a Ferrari, though, was always wise enough not to overstretch my wallet with horrendous maintenance costs), and the 288 GTO is one of my all-time favs, beaten only by some older models, and before iconic ones like the F40.

[@bikemike1118]

Yes, I‘m also not convinced about the looks of the F430… something is odd about it. The 360:was also not so great looking. The 328 I think was a much more beautiful car.

[@JustARandomFio]

@@bikemike1118 Agree, don't like the 360 either, nor a big fan of the 458 (design-wise). The 328 was beautiful, and I loved the 512BB. Of the newer ones, the 812, F8, SF90, and 599 are the ones that fit my taste most (of the "regular" ones). Oh. And I love the MC12 (more than the Enzo).

The 308 is art. Maybe an apex of all time for Ferrar. Others may be better mechanically but will never be such rolling art.

[@mohammadzein504]

The 430 is undoubtedly a great Ferrari ! But it's, not iconic like the 308! When you look at the 308 even when it's stationary, it envokes emotions! It's like moving , and flowing art! Because it is. I feel finding a, replacement for the Influenzo will be very hard Jack Sir. Thank you for the great content as always✌👍

[@ruperthorne6783]

A high mileage 430 should be ideal. It will generate loads of content. You will need a two post car lift and a hydraulic engine hoist though.

[@joelthomson6099]

Keep the 308, these mid-modern cars will all fall into obscurity thanks to EVs, and fair enough too. That 308 is beautiful and truly mechanical. Think of a near future when you're driving your everyday Muskmobile or equivalent; what car would you like in the garage as an antidote? And remember, speed is now academic; that 430 is dust beneath the dull chariot wheels of a model 3. Choose character. My ten cents. Love your work mate!

[@mattc9875]

Agree 100%

[@joshuaanothereraseddad]

Pretty nifty tidbit about Mr. Clapton having been an owner. I'm quite sure the 430 is a phenom vehicle, but the older I've gotten the more I enjoy the proper "analog" days. My two pennies worth: 308 for the win.

[@marcelhandsome6042]

Very hard to replace the 308 in styling looks, however, if it was my choice I'd replace it with a 550 Maranello beautifully sculpted long bonnet line like the 308 one of the most beautiful modern 1990's Ferraris if the budget can stretch. My 1st choice would have been the Testarossa but has quadrupled in value in recent years!

[@silhouette300]

Testarossa quadrupled?)) No way, still can buy well under 100k like 5 years ago

[@Gavin-oq5tt]

It doesn’t sound like the 430 is in the running. Can I suggest time to take another look at the 348? Sure, the 355 engine is better, but it certainly has that old school feel. Steering is better, manual gearbox and you can really push it without going too fast (once a weakness, is now a benefit).

[@lobsterwhisperer7932]

the exhaust note on the 430 sounds like that of a Ford Escort.

[@RzogL]

Always preferred the 488 to the 458, looks-wise. I think a more interesting successor to the 308 would be the much maligned 348, which apparently has very communicative steering. I know they have an ill-handling reputation but I think the later ones were improved in that respect. Another interesting choice would be a Mondial cabriolet: the world's only open top mid-engined four seater, ever. I would be interested in finding out if removing the roof really compromises it, given the fixed roof Mondials and GT4s benefit from a longer wheelbase compared to the two-seater 308 and are considered the better-handling cars.

[@kasimirdenhertog3516]

348 is still being glossed over in reviews etc. but as you say, later cars are quite well sorted. I’ve talked to multiple F355 owners who have owned 348’s before that lamenting their decision because they miss the unassisted steering and the rawness of the older car.

[@darrenbilsborough9701]

I agree with your assessments on the engine and gearbox Jack. I have had a 348 (still have it) and a 360 (manual), 456 (manual) and have just purchased a Mondial T. My next purchase will be a manual 430, so my advice is just save up your money for the manual.

[@baasbowing]

Interesting! How do you like the Mondial t? I’ve had my 308GTB since 2004, but during my ownership it was stolen from me, and it was gone for 5 years. Found it back, and I have it in my name again since 2,5 years. But that’s another story. Anyway, during those 5 years of absence, I had a Mondial t to replace it…but I was never in love with the car… Whenever I see my 308, it churns my stomach, as if I’m madly in love with a beautiful girl. No joke. It has that physical effect on me!

[@darrenbilsborough9701]

@@baasbowing I quite like the Mondial T but I haven't had it long, so looking forward to bonding with it a lot more. 1st impressions are very positive though 😉

[@timfulmer5156]

Are you going to create more content of the 308 actually working now? It was fun to see your journey, but lately you have put so much effort into other cars but not the running 308. The 355 would be cool if it was fitted with a 348 steering rack. I bet you may even like a 348 spyder....just my hunch.

[@Jester-Riddle]

One of the problems of newer car design is that because of regulation changes, they have just got so big ! One advantage of the older versions is that it was man & machine together in proportion, but now it's become mostly about the machine ...

[@gunnarliljas8459]

Speaking of paddle shifters. If it's the reaching for the shifter you're (we're) missing, it think it should be possible to mount an electronic shifter, i.e one made for PC gaming, but of the high end type, and make it communicate like the paddles do. Of course it has to be done in a fully reversible way. Wouldn't necessarily try it for the first time on a Ferrari, though...

[@simonhodgetts6530]

Out of these two, I’d go with the 308 every time - it’s just stunning. It’s also analogue, more compact - and because you’ve now sorted it, you know it inside and out.

[@franciscoamaral4383]

With a manual box yes, but the prices of those nowadays are crazy 😅

[@np1663]

The classic is achingly beautiful

[@155stw]

The 430 is very reasonably priced but parts are very expensive! Unless you are Scott@Ratarossa, but Jack is very handy too. I was considering the 430 but couldn’t stomach the servicing cost. Looked at the 360 as my brother has a Stradale, but the timing belt job alone is close to $3-5K. That’s if nothing major breaks. I bought a 4C instead which is cheap as chips to service! It’s not a 430 by any stretch of the imagination but still fun and looks fantastic.

[@TheMrFishnDucks]

Love the interior of the F430 that brown/cognac colour is beautiful. Looking forward to the the replacement of the Influenzo series. Nice video. Keep up the good work.

[@robertbcope]

Just starting video, buuuut I see these are very different cars. One is a true classic, drives like a classic, etc. The other crosses into "modern" territory. Perfectly amazing car, of course. I'd like them both. But if you can have only one, you have to decide what you're looking for.

[@erikwoodward3788]

I know exactly what you mean. The F355 engine is a living breathing thing. I think as systems got more advanced, Ferrari's began to run perfectly all the time. That imperfection is what made them feel alive.

[@misternordberg3675]

yawn.

[@gavindavis1300]

The free-flow exhaust (Ferrari part) makes a massive difference & brings the engine “alive”. It also gets over that slight “wheezy” sound evident in your video. Great video. Thanks.

[@dallisb1047]

The 308 has something about its looks. For me it seems busy in a simple way. Definitely one of my all time favorites.

[@silhouette300]

nothing to compare: the only thing that 308 can offer better - is styling (and this is also arguably for many people). As a car: driving, handling, performance, braking - 430 is from another planet - completely different level. But 458 is way better than 430 also))

[@eze8970]

Think you're confused Jack that nothing fell off, started sputtering or getting a bit smoky on your test drive, you probably thought something was wrong with it! 😂😂 Eric Clapton is telling people he knows he's glad he owned a car you're now testing! 🙏🙏

[@david______9500]

Jack, I really hope you keep Influenzo. It's the car that made the channel. And she is a beauty. Pretty sure you'd miss her if you let her go, after all you've been through with her. But from what you've said, a modern Ferrari won't be your thing. You like the feel of classic cars too much. You need a car with soul. As others have said, a 348 would be a great shout. Not crazy expensive and probably an opportunity for a series of repair videos that would hook more people into the channel and keep it growing. I don't think the 430 would provide that.

[@timgosling6189]

As you can see from my thumbnail, I have owned an F430 for many years, and it's a keeper. So I'm biased but offer can a few points. The steering is tyre sensitive and was always better on the original Michelins; for me Bridgestones grip more but lose some feeling. Second, the F430 had a significant update in mid-2008; in particular the F1 shift is noticeably better in the later cars than on your 2005(?) example. I personally didn't like the manual set-up and found the shift, pedal efforts and responses weren't as well harmonised as in the 360 and earlier tipos. Perhaps Ferrari didn't expect many takers; you are after all junking all the effort they put into honing the relationship of the shift with the engine, E-Diff and suspension, and 90% sold were indeed F1. Most 430s, and almost all from 2008, have ceramic brakes. The discs should last the life of the car with pad replacement every 20,000+ miles plus so they are not at all scary, and they also generate almost no brake dust. Last, your car like mine has the standard exhaust, but it sounds different. If you go for a Spider I promise there is no significant penalty in handling or performance and you will find out just how good these cars really sound! I also had a carb 308 for 12 years and loved it, but it was quite unreliable in comparison and of course prone to rust, which the F430 isn't. It also had numerous electrical issues and A/C that needed a re-gas every 9 months. On XWXs it was fun to 4-wheel drift and it did sound good. But carb 308s, all now at least 43 years old, now feel very 'classic' so you have to be ready for that.

[@lkearney7299]

What looked like a very nice manual 430 sold the other day on Collectingcars for £97,000.

[@archiegoodwinjr]

I am in agreement about the older Ferrari motor having been a “living, breathing” thing compared to its successor. I am old so my reference is the 250 compared to the 275. The 250 motor was an event, sounding as though every internal component had been tuned by ear: a fascinating fugue of taps, clicks, whirs, burbles that ended the instant it was turned off. By comparison the 275 motor seemed muted and expressed itself through exhaust notes.

[@pgr3290]

If old fashioned engine noise is the key plus manual gearbox and potential youtube content is the thing then probably a Lotus or TVR of course! They'll be terrible to daily, need fettling constantly but hey, if you can get an Esprit V8 then you're set lol

A friend brought his 488 spider over and I took it for a proper blast on my favourite B roads. It was devastatingly fast (was literally shifting up early, out of pure fear) and had zero turbo lag. Although I was very impressed, I was certainly not convinced. A week later, I did the same route in a well setup 4.5 Cerbera (yeh, one of those). Let’s put it this way, one car was ‘night & day’ more fun than the other. Gosh, I hope my mate isn’t reading the comments section!

[@paulnicholasen4196]

You want ultimate steering feel? Manual gearbox? Way more sophisticated chassis and handling than a 308? Trying to avoid the reliability issues of the 355 with it valve guide/exhaust header issues, and maintenance of the power steering and adjustable dampers? Try a 348. Very analog and a hoot to drive. Not a ton of power, but adequate. If you don't like the side strakes, just replace the lower door panels with ones from a 355. Biggest drawback is dropping the engine every 5 years to do the timing belt etc., but that's actually something you can do yourself.

[@39PSIOnTheDaily]

Jack, after all these years, let me be the first to recommend you to try a 456GT/456M! I think you’ll be quite surprised, especially if it’s a manual! I know you’ve driven an auto version, so I’d really like to hear your feedback on a manual spec car.

[@stuffa01]

Hmm, seems like a manual F355 would be the natural replacement for the 308. The 355 is still a more visceral analogue feeling fun driving experience. not the mention the 355 with a TUBI exhaust is one of the best sounding Ferrari ever made. you can rip through the gears in a 355 and is more of a "fun fast"....

[@bertram256]

Each to their own, but visually this is not a patch on the 308 especially in coupe form. Great design is timeless and people nowadays have just been accustomed to liking modern looking cars and virtually none of them can be described as beautiful. Leonardo fioravanti was a genius.

[@jasonjcr_cars819]

Good to hear your opinions on this. I tested a Scuderia a year and a half ago as I was also thinking/ wondering if I should go nearer vs my 328 or 550. It was a great car, but I’m not ready to give up analog yet. Performance aside.. So I went Testarossa instead.. I’m surprised how beaten the interior was on that car.. Did Mr. Clapton scratch the centre consul so bad? Lol Keep your 308. You’d also regret it too!

I owned a 1981 308 GTSi for eight years, 1981-1989. It was a very good car except that the A/C was completely useless. Didn't like the prolonged warm-up-before-drive-off when cold but enjoyed driving it on the highways and byways. However, I was so worried about it getting dinged/scratched by negligent people (or haters) that I only had about 28,000 miles on it when I sold it. Our hearts may nostalgically long for yesterday's cars but a new Honda Accord would run rings around my 308. If you really want something that performs that you can drive and drive and drive, buy a new 911 or a Cayman/Boxster/718.

Because to me, a sports car would always be a Sunday afternoon experience, exploring narrow, domestic roads with low speed limits and steep fines.

[@johnforeman634]

Of course the 308 is an absolute beauty design wise. I’ve driven one several times. The problem is, they are horrendously claustrophobic. It’s so cramped inside that it’s off putting. It’s a car you have to man handle. It requires a lot of muscle to move around and tiring. Great sound though, but too gutless by today’s standards. I now own a F430 Spider, 08, Rosso Corsa. It’s an absolute dream! I couldn’t be happier with it. I love everything about it, sorry, no complaints. Personally, it’s no contest.

[@euc131]

Good luck with your search ! I think the 308 is a prettier car and still has enough performance to have fun with. The modern Ferraris are like super sports motorbikes - you can't really enjoy driving them unless you are way over the speed limit. Who seriously needs 200mph ? I would hunt down a 355 or even a 328 ... or just enjoy your 308 and maybe get another car with a different character. I look forward to the next video !

[@Mike-rk8px]

As mechanic who specializes in Europe cars (I live in Connecticut) the 308 is the best choice. The design is not only stunning from every angle, but it will be stunning 100 years from now. It’s a (comparatively) easy car to work on, and it will be easier to keep running than an overly complex newer Ferrari. It won’t set any land speed records, but it’s an extremely enjoyable car to drive. The handling is amazing, and the sound is addictive. Let’s not forget that Ferrari no longer makes it’s incredible gated manual transmission, which is a sacrilege. Part of the enjoyment of owning a Ferrari is running it through the gears and hearing that metallic “snick snick” sound as you move the beautiful lever. The newer Ferrari obviously is very fast, but they’ve lost the magic. To be honest, the 328 is a much better car than the 308: it looks almost the same, but under the skin there were vast improvements. The 328 is known as the “Toyota” of Ferrari’s because it’s actually very well made and has proven to be very reliable with proper maintenance.

You know when you say 'I wish I hadn't sold that...' well, that's how it will be if you sell that lovely 308 😔

Last year I was at Brands and the car park was full of Ferraris. None of the moderns got any attention from passers by. A 308 on the other hand gathered a crowd. How can you replace it with a modern? Have both perhaps, but replace it?
