Modified 570 HP Ferrari 308 Turbo on Track (Video)

Farah points out one of the downsides to driving a 1978 Ferrari on the track: “I have to use my left knee to brace against the door.” We’re guessing that those seats, besides oozing retro style, don’t hold you terribly well for racetrack driving.

By the end of quite a few hot laps, Farah is impressed. He sums up the 308 saying, “I would have guessed this thing would have caught fire, or run out of brakes, or run out of tires, or something. But no … that’s a motor, guys! Wow, wow, wow.” Give it a watch, and a listen, and you’ll understand.
