It would be more interesting to see the 308 European version, which has just over 20hp more and almost 100kg less than this American version! But great content as always!
I saw the 1-2 misshift coming from the moment the 308 was introduced 😂😂. The gated shifter looks cool and it's fun to have the "clack clack" when changing gear, but it is not conducive to quick shifting and those older Ferrari gearboxes do _not_ like to be rushed 😅 (Also, as the bushings and such in the linkage wear over time, the alignment of the "gates" can shift every so slightly. In a car with a cloth/leather boot over the shifter, it'd be so small you'd likely not notice that much, but in a metal gated shifter it can actually *prevent you from selecting a gear* since moving 1mm or 2 mm laterally will make the gear stick interfere with the "fingers" of the metal gate, and you have to remove the gate to select that particular gear until you can put in new bushes or make a linkage adjustment 😆). Anyway, I think this race came down to the Subaru's better gear ratios (6-speed vs 5-speed) and modern tires, as well as the BRZ's better user-friendliness vs the Ferrari's finicky-ness (harder to launch and doesn't like being shifted too quickly).
Pretty impressive how fast that stock Ferrari is considering it's nearly 40 years old. That thing must have been a beast in the 80's. Such a pretty car too. Mad respect to the guy for driving it to it's limits and even letting the guys try it out.
Those 308/328s are notoriously slow af compared to today's standards, BUT, would I rather be seen driving an old Ferrari? Hells ya!! Love the generation stuff!
Donnie is a good guy to bring out a rare classic to offer up as a sacrifice to the giveaway car. Not hating...BRZ is a truly well balanced time attack, tracker, drifter. Fun to drive to work w/ all the creature comforts. Then spend your check on tires on the weekend.
Love that 308, wish you guys could snag some old rarri's and do some retrofit boy racer stuff to them, the 308 with all Titanium or Inconel goodies lighter wheels new tires, be a fun 80s pocket rocket.
the 308, and frankly any ferrari of that general time frame, were never absolute speed demons. what they do have though in immense quantities, is an amazing driving experience. the look, the feel, the smells, the sounds, it's a sensory 4 course meal. you don't drive those cars; you become one with the car. it's like the most amazing custom fitted suit you'll ever wear.
@@johnhufnagel oh yeah well aware, also the 80s and 90s they were geared for top speed not acceration. Such a different feel. In my opinion the F355 Spider wraps up that Era best, with the gated shifting 5 valve per cylinder V8. Mmm sounds and drives so well My Evo X beats it as well as most modern cars in a drag race but the 355 still feels pretty great at 170+mph especially with modern tires and brakes.
Props to the Ferrari owner for driving the car and driving the hell out of it too. A Ferrari 308 is valued around 100K. I know that's not much in terms of Ferrari classics but still - its 100K for an old car.
That Ferrari guy should get invited back a lot. Chilled out, driving the heck out of that sick classic and then when you admire it he's just like "drive it". It looked and sounded brilliant and that attitude is welcome anytime, anywhere. Lets be honest aswell - that GTO won before a wheel turned just on style alone. This was a surprisingly great episode.
love it! have to remember that the 308 is a GT car in it's truest form - designed for touring! great race of the past and the present! cheers from Canada!
This video demonstrates that the passage of time is undeniable and normal for a car from 40 years ago to be unable to cope with the modern one no matter how much power and performance it has, but if there is one thing that Ferrari wins, it is undoubtedly in design.
I drove a 328 on my honeymoon in Hawaii Magnum style 20 years ago. It was fun. Quick but not fast. But that sound!!! A dream come true to put 220 miles on a "real" Ferrari. Today? Well, I bought a GR86 in July and just love it. Quick but not fast. A lot of the Ferrari feels in a modern package. The perfect real-world drivers toy. Very fun vid, guys.

is ron not wearing socks?
i can agree. Would love to see old tech race head to head.

This guy gets lots of business fixing old Ferraris. Everyone has good things to say about him. I believe his name is Donnie
My heart is broken but I would still take that 308 any day of the week. The guages and the wedge are iconic
Obviously, you'd have to be a moron to not take the 308

anybody who follows the smoking tire knows Donnie is a god with the ferraris. didn't expect to see him racing lmao
Thought the same shit when I seen him pop up, felt quite happy bout it
Oh shit, Donnie! Idk why I didn’t connect the dots
Yep, I recognized his insta handle. Very unexpected, and very cool to see.
