Subject: Re: [Ferrari] 308GT4, was something... And I don't hate your car The reason carbs went away is because of fires, emissions, and starting problems just to name a few As for styling if you like it buy it It wasn't a big hit so Ferrari dropped it Most people want a car any car they put a key it in an go If everyone liked carbs we would still be watching black and whit TV and flying airliners with round engines! That's what Clyde says! In Victory you deserve Champagne Nice description FG. Well done. I hope you sent cLYdE a personalized and signed copy. Ah ah ah Only problem I find now with our 308 GTS which is in the restoration process are parts are Ferrari 288 GTO expensive and one would do better looking for replacement rubber parts in a convent in France than we can any place else.

Subject: Re: [Ferrari] 308GT4, was something... I agree that the 308 GT/4 has gotten better with age and is a very cool car. While it is very, very similar to a 308 GTB, there are enough differences to make it special in its own way. It's basically what a 308 would look like if Lamborghini created it....just look at the Urracco, and the taillights of the Jalpa. A '73 series I, standard ("euro") spec would be my pick, modded with 16" QV wheels and modern rubber. I'd also prefer it if it had Dino badges as opposed to Ferrari. Don't believe you see too many of those around. This car would be more interesting to me than just about all other 308s except the carbureted euro GTBs, and maybe even the GTS as well. GTBi/GTSi, and any 308 with US bumpers is too much for me to handle. Some of the GT4s have the same problem of course. Carburetors and cars old enough not to need catalytic converters.....life is good. :) On Fri, Feb 7, 2014 at 9:08 AM, Rick Lindsay <richardolindsay [at] gmail.com> wrote: Since we're sharing opinions, I'll toss mine in: I think the 308GT4 is absolutely beautiful. Yes, Bertone's designs are more space-age angular than Pininfarina's curves, but no less visionary. What I can claim is that I feel no natural attraction to most Zigato designs, and some I find to be butt-ugly! clYde finds anything with a carburetor to be a firey death trap. That may play a role in his dislike ofvthe GT4. He hates my 308GTB for that very reason. But there is nothing on Earth that sounds better than a bank of Webers. And I have to admit that my all time favorite auto-music comes from the six dual choke Webers on a first generation Countach. My 308GTB comes in second. And I bet Rob's GT4 ties with it for that position. You know what opinions are like, and mine is no different. Such is life.
