Ferrari Mailing List: A reason for a 328

[philville (philville]

I find it difficult to disagree with Bob....I think that most of us will never 
be more than a one Ferrari family....I think a 328 is a safe cautious 
bet.....but how do we make it perform like it looks......has any one gone the 
turbo route.....and does that have to be over the top expensive? If you used a 
moderate boost I can not believe that you would be over 
stressing....historically I think that to get an extra 50 hp any other way 
would cost more than the car warrants.....and will be even more costly when it 
breaks.
I am waiting for flack and feed back.....or, for ROL to tell us he just did 
that on his kitchen table with a blow dryer...and the dyno shows 30% 
increase....and all it cost him was $82.00 and 6 hours of his weekend.
