This is an amazing build. I've always felt that the 308 is one of the most beautiful cars of all-time, but they lacked a bit in performance. This is the perfect solution and Bob Norwood is a legend.

I own a '76 Vetroresina. That's the version to have. The Fibreglass body is 200kg lighter than the later Steel Bodies. The Carburated Engine also has 50hp more and 50nm higher torque than the later fuelinjected Cars. Love this Car.
@kevinhayes45085 жыл бұрын
Considering its vintage the 308 didn't really lack much. It was equal in performance to the 355 in most rrespects and better than 348. Ferrari is not a all out powerful car and it wasn't supposed to be. It's strenght's were handling, braking, good looks and fun to drive. I always really appreciated the Maranello idea of a sports car, and I love the way that the engine sound and powerband was recognized as something that makes a car fun.

Best onetake car in ages. Fell in love with the Ferrari in 1980, like everyone else, when Thomas Magnum, takes off sideways on the grass in the opening credits. Great shape to the 308, but it is an old car with unreliable everything. But to get to take one apart and rebuild it with modern components would be a great project to work on. Doesn't sound as good as the f355 Berlinetta in the one takes in the canyons though. Possibly the best sounding car of any of the onetakes. Great set of cars and video from Aaron and Matt.

I had a 308 for about a year but was forced to get rid of it for financial woes. I really wanted to do an NA build on it. I frankly think the 308's have a great classic Italian sportcar feel. I tried to imagine what 570whp would feel like in the car and frankly I couldn't imagine it. My supercharged z06 made that exact same number at was ferocious. The video does make the power delivery much more linear appearing and very controllable. I always felt though, 350hp naturally aspirated 308 would've been a great car. That steering though...yeah...80's Ferrari's...not the best at all. Steering wheel has no tilt, it's at a funky angle and heavy. Testarossa was real bad....I used to feel like I pulled muscles steering that thing at low speed.
