Finally! After dreaming of this marque for decades, I bought a Ferrari. Well, it’s not exactly near the top of the food chain like an Enzo, but it IS a Ferrari… A 1983 308 GTBi QV.

It is a lot of fun to drive, too. The key to this older model is to keep the engine in first gear and under 4,000 RPM for about 10 minutes so the oil can warm to around 148 degrees. That’s easy because it can still do the side-road speed limit at that speed. After that, second gear is a quick shift away.

The way it hugs the turns at speed is awesome. While driving, a few other cars tend to volley for the position directly behind it. I find that fascinating. At speed, on an exit or entrance ramp, I can put some distance between this car and theirs.

Sure, it’s 25 years old, but it is in top phsycal and mechanical condition. It has been meticulously maintained, and think of how it must have been during its heyday… A nearly 300 bhp car with 5 speeds during an era when most cars were barely shoveling 150 bhp with 3 speeds.

So, to your readers who drool over ANY new car and think it is unaffordable… Wait! Cars always dip down in cost, then recover at some point in time. When the time is right, and the car of your earlier dreams is at its lowest value, that’s the time to pounce on it. The Ferrari 308′s are plentiful now, but the GTBi with quattrovolvole (4 valves per cylinder) engine is a lot rarer. This car has been increasing in value annually, so I can’t lose money on it.

My daily driver is a 2000 BMW 323ci convertible. This Ferrari is just a fun insane investment.

I always enjoy your website!
