Ferrari Mailing List: Twin-Turbocharged 1983 Ferrari 308 GTS Quattrovalvole for sale on BaT Auctions - ending December 22 (Lot #62, 108) | Bring a Trailer

Brian reports “The turbos kicked in around 4000rpm and you had to watch the tach

 

Similar to the 288 GTO quick kick turbo “problem”? 

 

There once was an F1 driver who was given, bought, stole, a 288 GTO when they first came out.

Sold it and commented: sort of : Too fast – too expensive.  Imagine – an F1 driver saying “too fast – too expensive.”

 

After reading that I stopped looking for one.  (ah ah ah)

 

And then there was the NorCal mechanic who took his customer’s 288 for a road toast, uh, test . . . . turbos cut in on a turn and off the road, down a hill sideways, through a chain link fence and was saved when the car, now 180 degrees from the road exit, passenger side clobbers a tree.

 

Other than that – it was nice looking.

 

Cheers
