    Is it possible that we could put together a track day at say Sandown or Calder, limited to 308's (GTB/GTS/GTSi/GT4). 246's and 328's.
    I would like to see 20 x 308/246/328's having a track day together. These models are all basically the same horsepower and speed.
    All models would have NO handicap on TYRES OR body changes (like a large front air dam)
    But NO engine or brake mod's allowed.
    Want to keep it fair.
    What do you think ?

    great idea Gil but most of the 308s have been modified and some even came with the big front air dam

    a lot have had the HC pistons (if they will admit to it) and other "things: done

    I'm amazed that you have that many Ferrari's at a track day that you have to organise another day for individual models!

    I just looked at that invoice of my car delivery in the UK. 500 pound for air conditioning. What a bloody rip off, then again, it was probably adequate for the UK market.

    Yes, well we have days for Boxers only, Tests'a only and a special F40 day only for F40's and we get about 20 F40's.............ARE YOU NUTS

    I just thought that it would be fun to have a bunch of cars that were fairly evenly balanced from a point of horsepower and handling.
    Technically speaking a 308 with an engine mod is a "modified category car".
    But in the overall situation I guess bring them all along.
    What if I try to get the MASA club to allow us a section of their day for a 308/246/328 run,
    maybe during their lunch (it would be a Sandown

    The official large front air dam was available on the quatro 308's as an option I believe.
    Before the quatro's there was no such thing as a front large air dam.
    I bought one for my 1979 308GTS from the factory and it's on the car.
    So what I was meaning was, I regard that as "NOT A MOD". And tryes, hosiers etc. etc. anything will do and is not a MOD.
    But seeing all you trend setters have low comp pistons and god knows what........
    bring them all along and we can have a 308 day.
    In other words leave all your fancy 355 ch and 360's and 430's at home

    I don't think that's correct.

    Late 70's, knew of a couple.

    Ordered OS though, so probably not an option in australia.
