Would you swap your 3X8 for a brand new 488?

There is a car for every ocasion. 308 for smelly, tasty, real drive. 488 for a track day. Cannot trade, there is no match

 

I know that this is heresy for some of you here but I would even trade my mint condition 308 for a mint 360 F1 Spyder. I do love my care but after 10 years, something newer, more comfortable, with AC, and more HP would be a welcome change.

I do understand the sentiment but Enzo didn’t work on my engine...he would barely recognize the factory of today. Time waits for no one.

Keep me in mind if you know anyone with a nice 360

 

The 308 is my first love too but I'd be lying if I said there wasn't a long list of cars I'd trade it for. I'd actually prefer the Speciale over the Pista but I'll take either. Money no object how about a trade for an F40? there has to be some car that you'd trade the 308 for.

 

288 GTO

 

Most excellent!

 

If you change the 4 into 2 and make it a 288 GTO then yes in a heartbeat.

 

Nope. None. Nada. If someone left a million dollars under my pillow and took my 308, I would hunt another one down the same day...and keep the rest of that million to buy a yacht!

 

Nope.

Not. A. Chance.

Way too much electronic CRAP.


PLUS the 308 looks better and better with every new model introduced.

Since the F40 Ferrari has been in a long exterior 'design nap.' But Ferrari did at least 'Try' to wake up with the 488.

Between the F40 and 488, I'd only buy Lamborghini.

 

Oh yes, I'd make that trade. And it would be driven.

 

NO from me, because many, many years ago, I ALMOST made a terrible mistake, my 1971 Dino246gt, straight up even trade for a slightly USED Mercedes 450SL, you know the cars the Ewings drove on Dallas! SURE glad I passed on that one! I thought about it because the Merc was newer and more up to date. Now I don't care about any of that, I LOVE the "Outdated-ness" of my 308 and sure miss the Dino! Imagine if I still had that Dino, or that Mercedes???? I love the 488, just like I loved the 458 when it was the latest, and before that the 430, but newness leaves every time a newer model is introduced. So I keep my OLD Ferrari and experience NEWNESS in a new Audi every 3 years, WAY less expensive that way!

 

I have Baby GTO 84 euro,,, 28yrs now,,,,got some chair time last night in a four five eight ,,,,I was surprised that the chair, steering wheel,,look out front,look out back,,side view,,,Just like 308!!!
But I would have to swap to 6 speed,,can this be done?I didn't like the hydraulic response feel of gas pedal.
too fast and you don't FEEL the speed
Have to have Both 458,488,,QUALITY ,,wow quality,,,
,makes bmw, mercee look like mustang
,cabin was tan Daytona carbon seats,carbon fiber optioned out,,Rosso Corsa,CF binders,,

Nope.Vetro/Early Carb cars have already overtaken 328/348/355/360/430 and even merging towards 458 levels not to mention 456/550/575,and heading towards 599 .

I would have to blink though if a CS/Scud/16m/Speciale or any limited edition was on offer! Unlikely to ever happen of course.

How many folks regretted trading a Dino?

 

I would trade my 328 GTB for a used 488 GTB. Maybe one day. Not a huge fan of the engine, nor all of the styling. But trying a modern era Ferrari would be fun.

F430's are great cars too but the styling isn't aging well for me. I prefer the sharper shapes of the recent cars. Kind of like the 308!

-F

 

Vetro, yes. Everything else is worth less than an average first year 20k mile 458 ($160k). At this moment, even the lowest priced 599s ($130k+) are higher than the other variants (outside of extreme low mile museum pieces....maybe).

A more interesting proposition is would you trade for a 550? There are a fair share of 550s sub-$130k.

 

Still waiting for one of you guys to trade me a mint F1 360 Spyder for my 308

 

Hmm... the 550 is about as new as i would go, and i do like them a lot.Maybe one day!

 

you guys are forgetting that the 288 IS a 308: it hat to be called 308 GTO, then they changed the name to 288 GTO.

GTO shares with 308 a ton of parts. Some: Crankshaft, lights, glasses, steering column, dashboard, and so on.

 

Did Ferrari officially name it initially the "308 GTO" or just that Swiss dealership?
