    this 328 Has a Tubi the sound is spot on for that exhaust , no cat either, with that being said, my car is set up way better in the handling department .He should not have taken a passenger . His steering looks somewhat loose as well .

    Unless your in an F 50 , F40, 288 GTO , 355 , 348 , GT4 / 250 LM / 308 or older front mounted V12 , running a bad ass 175 / 125 shifter Kart, you are not going to have this kind of a driving experience in any modern Ferrari, modern being after a gated 430 . This is what its all about, when it comes to owning and driving a Ferrari. Electric, or you ****ing kidding me ?? A 1000 HP played out tesla, throw it in the ****ing car crusher ....If your not driving your F car like this, as Senna said, " well, you can forget it " . And G says, you might as well sell it. Your doing the Mark a disservice.Or maybe, your just to old. As far as Porsche is concerned, yes, engaging, but not nearly as exciting as driving a Ferrari of this nature, and you have to be bald headed or losing your hair and wearing a flimsy stupid looking hat as well, believe me, I see it every day .

    Wow, the spectators/flag people in this video are crazy. This guy's driving leaves a lot to be desired and I disagree with your Porsche comment, but great video nonetheless.

    Im in So Cal, thats accurate when it comes to the 911 drivers lol . I agree, the driver did not know the road, I think he should have driven it a few times until he knew the way around, then he would not have needed the co pilot , which was a distraction . He was pretty good at shifting , and cornering , until the blind ones came up. I think his steering was a little loose, and he may have not had the correct tire pressures as well.My 328 is set up with widest wheels and tires you can get , between that and my tire pressures, I have a nice heavy and very direct feel through the steering wheel then seen here in the video. I want to have the absolute least buffering between the steering wheel and the pavement, this way I feel that I can get the most out the 328s handling ability, that and new motor mounts make it really nice. My arms get quite a workout on a quick drive in the twisties.

    The constant re gripping of the wheel when turning is very dangerous but nice Video

    I would never want to track my 328, to much wear and tear, however I do love a quick drive on a canyon road like in the first video. Now that I am running shifter Karts, I will never , ever have a need or want to drive any car on any track. I love the fact that I can go from my kart on track, to my 328 on the road . I read an article years ago about a car / track rental outfit in the UK that had 308 s for customers to rent on track, it was amazing that the owners told how reliable they were, and brakes, and oil where the only maintenance they had to deal with, outside of the normal 308 majors. This was great news to me in regards to my aggressive canyon drives in my 328, and why it runs so well with 105,000 miles !! I have to say, I thank God all the time for blessing me with my 1989 Ferrari 328 GTS !! I love it so so much !!!

    I can attest to the shifter kart getting your speed fix. Best thing there is, short of a formula car.

    I would love to get some real seat time in a shifter kart on a great track.

    Wow, that is very nice of you, thanks for the invite. I'm on the east coast and never make it out to Cal. but I will keep this in mind.

    I occasionally do some track days and AX events (mostly with the PCA) but I can't imagine how awesome a shifter kart would be given their incredible performance potential. I had a couple of go karts when I was younger but nothing in the same league as a shifter kart...I could see it being VERY addictive.

    Stay safe my friend.
