The 288gto IMO is one of the best looking Ferrari's about. But is changinf a 308 into a 288 not the same as 'faking'??? :?
Not if you just modify the car to have the muscular appearance of the GTO and then do the engine up to partly deliver the goods... and then...

most importantly... you do NOT slap GTO badges on it...

That's the thing - having a beefy looking 308 is one thing (and they do exist)... but trying to pass it off as a GTO is another.

LOL! It might be tempting for you to read confirmation in that, but SPEEDKILLAR was either making a not too serious statement (that would be my guess, considering the :wink: ) or a dumb statement. Cross the pond one day and you'll see... :D
The " :wink: " was added there for that, but that's how our RC45 is, probably reading to fast :P

Oh - I read your :wink: - but you know you like it when your government treats you rough... :P

I agree with RC45 on this one...it's fine to make your 308 look a bit more 'mean' and upgrade the power and such, just as long as you don't try to pass it off as an original 288 GTO.

Here is a fair effort, he has also kept the 308 badge:
http://home.tiscali.nl/308gto/

edit: top marks! He built the 288 'kit' himself out of sheets of metal! (there are more pics in the 'first pics' section)

sentra_dude 05-15-2004 02:10 PM
That's pretty cool, especially considering he built that kit himself, and I'm glad he left the 308 badge on the back. It looks really badass, and its nice to have a removable top. 8)

Although I think I might be a little pissed when I first found out it wasn't a 288 GTO...I would be all excited that I was seeing an extremely rare 288, only to find out it was really just a 308, but hey. ;)

jon_s 05-15-2004 02:18 PM
well, this is a one off, so technically, more rare than a 288 lol :lol:

RC45 05-15-2004 03:12 PM
And just like the custom coachwork Ferraris of yore... that is an awesome piece of craftsmanship....

Beats a piece of shit Diablo kit (no offense to Diablo's everywhere - just the fake kit ones) by a Nardo mile...

:mrgreen: :mrgreen: 8)

I would rather have a replica lambo than an M3.even though it may not handle as well as a real diablo it will be close.
but personally i would not put the real lambo badging on it.i would make my own
saymbol because i think it would be cooler the drive "my own creation".
