My .02 and I've been lucky enough to be behind the wheel.  

Think HEAVY F40.  All that power, but way more weight and crappier brakes (REALLY, imagine that!).

Seating positon was worse too and the ergonomics are pure 308.  It bit much to deal with while balancing 400 hp.

Overall a neat collector piece for the SteveJ's of the world, but I wouldn't make it your only Ferrari.

Eddie Irvine had a 288 GTO – for awhile.  While he loved it – when he sold it he allegedly said it was too expensive and hard to drive predictably.

Hmmmmm, F1 says too expensive and unpredictable?

Still – not a bad investment and if placed in the living room, pretty to look at.

It's a very interesting comment when an elite best of best driver says a street car is unpredictable or scary....

It has to be that at his very best attempt at pushing the limit it's scary. If he were to drive at our level it would be boring. :)

Walter Rohrl said something similar about the Carrera GT.....not so much unpredictable but knife's edge handling.

Anyways, 288 GTO is to be looked at and driven 7-8 tenths at most.....unless you have the wallet to go harder!
