I've sat in some. I know several people who one them, but they have not let me take them out on the track. Im not Michael Schumacher, but Im sure that I can make those go around the track a HELL of a lot faster than the owners. I dont think Ive seen ANYONE spank a 333 the way they were meant to. One owner told me that I could take it out, if I can pay for any damage incurred. If I had mega seat time in a 333 already, I would take him up on it. But I dont, and I would not want to just baby the car around the track. What a tease that would be........SPANK THE B*TCH LIKE IT WAS MEANT TO BE SPANKED!! |

Never have been in one but one used to show up at Charlotte Motor Speedway driver education. I'd about 1/2 way down the back straight going about 120 in my 328. By the time I'd get to the first banked turn the 333SP would be on me. Incredible. Then there was the wonderful sound when it goes by on the track.
As I recall, the engine oil had to be heated before starting the thing on cold days. They had a portable heater that circulated the motor oil for quite some time before starting. It was fairly cold.
At idle it sounds like it's ready to come apart. Very metallic sounding. If my 328 sounded like that, I would not dare run it. |

sounds like it would have been fun but i dont know about the rain.
i drove behind a 333 at pocono last august for about 10 laps. the driver just got it new from factory and was not able to get on it.
it sounded amazing even at low rpm but more important was how beautiful it was without any decals or numbers - just ferrari rosso! |

At a rainy FoW track event last year I left 10 minutes before they started giving rides in a 333SP. I have been kicking myself ever since. Can someone describe the experience? |
