Two Ferraris...One Day

[Nazgul]

I went back to my home town in Ohio, which happens to be an old steel town, and I came across two Ferraris in the same day !!!

One guy rolls up beside me in a red 308 and gives me a dirty smirk. I let him go due to the 25 MPH speed limit thru town:-)

Then I ran into a 328. Are these cars fast????

I have no idea.

In a word, no. They are not fast compared to todays cars and no match for the Z at all.

Do a Google search and you'll find a lot of info including horsepower and other specs including 0-60, 1/4 mile, top speed, etc.

The 308 No, the 328 is respectable, but not up to the Z06. To bad you didn't get a chance to find out first hand

[No Doubt]

Here's some specs on a 1985 328 GTS

0-60 mph: 5.9 sec
0-100 mph: 15.0 sec
Quarter Mile: 14.5 sec @ 94 mph
Skidpad: .83g
Top Speed: 163 mph
Braking, 60-0 mph: 130 ft
Slalom Speed: 62.9 mph

Well they certainly look nice. You could only imagine my surprise driving through town having these cars roll up on me:-) I was seriously shocked. The town I grew up in isn't exactly a booming town. Ha ha ha.

THE two cars are performance pigs but still handmade and cool!!
a guy in california used to install custom turbos on older ferraris to get their performance up, but I can't remember his name.

I don't know if this is the same guy but Bob Norwood used to turbocharge Ferrari's, and made some wicked power too.

And no it's not a fast car (quick for it's time) but sure does look good going slow.

[jaydee]

that's the man, Bob Norwood!!! good call. he would run high pressure turbos through those prancing horses and did make some serious performance gains!!

I had one on the way back from the FEST. Spanked him twice. Don't know what model it was, but it sure was pretty. Z06 Passenger got a pic of it when he first jetted away in front of me (he wasn't in front for long..). Maybe you can identify the model. There is a pic of it on that thread below. It was pretty new and had HID lighting.

Looks like a 360 Spider (basically a convertible 360 Modena)

[Racer Z]

Yes that is a 360. Those are some quick cars, just a little slower then a Z06 and about $120,000 more
