Ferrari Mailing List: Re: 308 vs. Camry

After the exhaust was already changed over. 

 

I never got a chance to do a baseline test when it was all stock.

 

The two cats were extremely restrictive compared to the test pipes.

Were your HP measurements before, or after the exhaust re-work?

I believe my old 1983 308 QV GTS records 195 HP at the tires.

 

It had a Tubi exhaust with dual cat test pipes, a K&N filter and it SCREAMED

like a Banshee being stabbed to death.

I've always been curious about the power figures for the Qv engine in USA specification.  I'm assuming the 230 HP FNA quoted is SAE not DIN?   Seems hard to believe the engine can drop just 10 HP after the addition of cats, retarded timing plus lower compression.  Any dyno figures to confirm?  I recall the Fast Lane test of the Qv back in the early 80's, they managed 0-60 in 5.8, or so they claimed.  Pretty funny comparison in any case.

All of this talk about old cars vs. new. Here's a segment from the Car Show on Speed with a 308QV vs. a Toyota Camry.
