Have you seen the 308 Twin turbo conversions? I might sacrifice some anatomy for one of those.

Heh

I take an old Porsche 911 Turbo over those..I don't know, but the Italian cars don't do it. A RUF "Yellowbird" is more my style



But I can appreciate the looks of the Ferrari, they are beautiful cars.]

But Porsche...Supertroopers..

One of my older cousin's friends has a bright yellow 95 F355 Berlinetta. He took me out for a ride one day. He was telling me how the transmission shifting action is apparenlty somewhat heavy due to the oil but once it warms up he says it's a little easier to change gears. We drove around town to get to the freeway going no faster than say 40mph and then we pull into the freeway onramp lane and slows way down to let the cars enter the freeway and he very calmly says "ok here we go" and then mashes the throttle and wow the motor just screams WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA to redline in what seemed like a total blur. The engine just comes alive since it's about a foot behind your head as you're shoved into the seat! We hit the top of th freeway and hit the brakes since he then says "well that was fun....that was 110"

I still have yet to convince him to let me drive it. It's been a few years since then but I just haven't grown up so i'll have to see

That's my brother in the picture and the SDL is in there too!
