Ferrari Mailing List: Re: F40 at Bonneville!

[philville dejazzd.com (philville]

   Some thing that surprised me was the target 220 / 225 for the F 40 and
   the intended 250 + for the 308...what am I missing, I am sure that the
   F 40 will be closer to street trim, but does any one have any specs on
   that particular 308 GTB ?
