Pics from Sunday drive
 
Just wanted to share some pics from our drive with some friends last Sunday on the back roads of.. ahem *mexico* My brz with avo turbo leading the group of v8's cars. It pulls up to 130mph easy. I emptied out a full tank in 131 miles!

Looks good and fun. I'm always jealous of that hood every time I see pictures of your car.

Steve201brz 01-23-2014 04:53 PM

now that's a good lookin group of cars. People must of been breakin their necks lookin at that caravan

meeskee2 01-23-2014 05:22 PM

I think that hood is so sick.

Nice group of cars. I really think I might trade my BRZ for a 328GTS given the opportunity to drive one first. I know they're finicky and cantankerous at times but I just love those old F-cars.

Kelbyat07 01-23-2014 07:07 PM

That's a nice mix. Liking that red car a lot.

They're definitely not as easy to drive as a brz. It has a nice ferrari v8 purr to it. No power steering of course. He can slam the car in the corners but the straights are not so fast. I can pass him easy on the brz with the turbo kit.

Thanks H4nh for the great pics. Looks like everyone had a great day and it was a nice collection of cars for a "Sunday" drive!

I understand your feelings, but if you get anything older than a 355 you are in for a lot of maintenance and cost to keep up. Find a 355 at a good price and you are in a much more reliable car than any Ferrari before it. (My best friend is the mechanic for every Italian car (mostly Ferrari's) that runs in CVAR vintage club, and they run with the national SCAR quite often at joint events at places like the Austin F1 track, and this year Indianapolis (using the infield Formula 1 track). Not even he wants the trouble to maintain a 328 or 348 (348 was the testbed for the modern upgrades Ferrari was making at the time which were improved upon for the 355 and the 360) for his own personal use. To me that says a lot, but if it is just going to be a low mileage driver, that you put few miles on for joy rides, then the 328's do come cheaper to buy. The problem is maintenance and how much you might incur in that regard.
Not trying to tell you what you should do, just a bit of advice from someone who is around old Ferrari's quite often.

Thanks!

Any Ferrari is high maintenance! Or exotic car in that case. Pay to play!!:D

Looks like a fun drive! The Austin and San Antonio clubs are planning to meet out in Leakey this Saturday for some Three Twisted Sisters action.

That's awesome! We've done big cruises before and it gets hectic waiting for everyone to catch up from being separated by traffic. Unless you guys have a route mapped out then that works best. Have fun :party0030:
