Okay... so it's not a 308 but...

I'm at a loss for words - its that good.

 

Wow!

 

THAT was WONDERFUL
I think I'm Spent

 

Outstanding, with the exception of the crunching gears, the sound was incredible!

 

Those guys have some serious brass cajones to run that fast in the mountains during the winter.

 

That was nuts... I loved it!!!!


At least the car had a 3.0 liter engine!!!!

Good grief! I'd have **** my pants on that run! LOL!!!

Thanks for sharing.

 

Just amazing! Wow! Loved the ride.

 

I think that was the external shift gate, not crunching gears.

Great sound, but that was a pretty leisurely run -- he was getting off the power way long before the corners and doing a lot of coasting.
(But then an SWB doesn't exactly have four pot Brembos.) (And the gearing was a tad off for some of those corners.)

 

Just speaking for ME, but I'd do the SAME....

just sayin'

That was so cool I just shot a load. For you guys saying you would have gone faster, you obviously don't own a 250SWB. I mean, do you really want to go THAT fast in snowy conditions and risk wadding it up....seriously. Just sayin'! LOL

 

That is a great run and I have to agree, running like that on wet roads in the winter is crazy. Gotta love a small bore V12.

 

I couldn't tell if those white patches were snow or the sun glinting off ice. The corner workers/observers sure looked cold. My butt puckered at the entry of every one of those corners with snow/ice present, but he didn't seem to slip around too much.

 

Well, if you're there to win, ...

And isn't that the history? I think the SWB might have been the first Ferrari GT to come with disc brakes. The ability to push deeper into corners has a big impact on stage (or lap) times, so Enzo was forced to adapt to the times (pun intended).

That's rallying.

(Watch how it dives deep into the corners. Especially at 6:01.)
(An S4 doesn't sound as sweet, but then you can't toast marshmellows on an SWB's exhaust. )

 

It must take a special kind of person to sit in the passenger seat on a run like that.

 

Sure does. That's the guy cluing the driver in on the coming corners.

 

I thought only the cars with the transmission mounted in the rear had external shift gates. The 250 should have a nice leather boot and the shifter drops right into the top of the tranny, no?

 

The TR and GTO have the external gate.
I can't speak for the SWB as I haven't (yet) had an "up close and personal" with one.

 

FWIW here's a recently restored SWB, picture taken this past Saturday, and it doesn't have a shift gate. And WOW what a video!
