NOTEWORTHY EXCERPTS: "No need for delicate footwork these days on an early morning Ferrari throttle: fuel injection has brought it instant startability. Just twist the key of the 308 and you've turned a mechanical orchestra into life. There's music all around you from the first rasp of the starter to the clack-clack of the gearstick shifting through the gate." AND "And yet from the moment the Ferrari engine fired into life, there was only one car in it for us. The 308 is a classic; an enduring piece of engineering - the others time will pass by. Next year, perhaps, there will be an even better 944 Turbo; one day a different Esprit. But, though there is already a 328, that doesn't diminish the thrill of the 308. Its Pininfarina styling is ten years old, but datelessly elegant; its interior confused but never confusing, and above all its performance electrifying. It's a car to savour and to cherish - and of course not to use every day." NICELY PUT! | ||

Here is a link to a old article comparing a 308 to a Lotus and a Porsche 944 Turbo. Interesting read. http://www.lotusespritworld.com/ERoadtests/turbo_performaneelite.html |
