This is an amazing build. I've always felt that the 308 is one of the most beautiful cars of all-time, but they lacked a bit in performance. This is the perfect solution and Bob Norwood is a legend.
I own a '76 Vetroresina. That's the version to have. The Fibreglass body is 200kg lighter than the later Steel Bodies. The Carburated Engine also has 50hp more and 50nm higher torque than the later fuelinjected Cars. Love this Car.
Considering its vintage the 308 didn't really lack much. It was equal in performance to the 355 in most rrespects and better than 348. Ferrari is not a all out powerful car and it wasn't supposed to be. It's strenght's were handling, braking, good looks and fun to drive. I always really appreciated the Maranello idea of a sports car, and I love the way that the engine sound and powerband was recognized as something that makes a car fun.
As much as I love to see regular people bring their cars that while cool, aren't usually totally insane cars. But a 308 with a stupid amount of power? Well I can't think of a much cooler car. The 308 bodystyle to me is the best looking Ferrari they ever produced. To see any Ferrari heavily modified is great, people seem to want them stock, but a 78 308? Oh man....
Best onetake car in ages. Fell in love with the Ferrari in 1980, like everyone else, when Thomas Magnum, takes off sideways on the grass in the opening credits. Great shape to the 308, but it is an old car with unreliable everything. But to get to take one apart and rebuild it with modern components would be a great project to work on. Doesn't sound as good as the f355 Berlinetta in the one takes in the canyons though. Possibly the best sounding car of any of the onetakes. Great set of cars and video from Aaron and Matt.
Wow I would like the have a talk with that owner and his tuner friends. Remarkable work on that engine. Great skills involved. Not easy at all doing what they did and he is very humble about it.
These cars are SOOOO Small. Parked next to a 2007 Nissan Sentra, it's 18 inches shorter in length and the roof of the 308 is at the top of the side view mirror. 572HP is massive in that small of a car.
I remember parking next to one at a car show in my 240sx and the nissan looked gigantic in comparison! very weird when you see them in person just how tiny they are.
I'm 6'1" and was so disappointed sitting in one at a salvage yard many many years ago. I had to idea of an engine swap but I'm just too big to fit comfortably. There was no way I was going to fit.
This 308 is absolutely beautiful! Fantastic restraint on the part of the owner keeping it mostly stock. That blue is an awesome vacation from the red that are on most.Good show to the owner!
This is what I would call a sleeper Ferrari. No one would expect a hundred horsepower more than a F40 and exact the same power as a 458 Italia in a 80's Ferrari 308. What a treat, thank you Matt!
God I love the 308. They are going up in value now so I'll never get one lol. This is super unique. Love the build! This is probably one of my favorite OneTakes I think.
You better start taping some more One Takes.. When great video's like this don't exist anymore i'm really gonna be upset.. Thanks for all your hard work bro!!!
I like and appreciate how he re measured the higher front fender well/shock assembly to now match the rear assembly...looks proper now. As we all know the original car ride was high in front and lower in rear if ONLY looking at fender hieght compared to tire height...big gap in front compared to rear and you addressed and fixed in properly. Nice work!!!
chuckled @10:31. Can't get enough views of those body lines and that color. Spectacular! Would love to see this particular vehicle driven out in California with those top panels popped on one of the canyon routes.
For those who like to know more check out ATS Racing website, the MR2 Matt is going to review is there + a guide to make your own. PS: I've checked and they dont supply the money for you to build the car, they sell some parts tho. There is always a catch ain't it? If anyone can lend me about 30G plus a MR2 I would be happy EDIT: The total cost was about 12k. I lied about the 30K. They also have all the parts needed, where to get them and why get them. Cool stuff.
WOW! Listening to the interior sound track to this car, sounds so much like the Need For Speed game!! Nice turbo noise, BOV and the metallic clink when shifting!!
My father actually met Enzo Ferrari when he bought his 308 a long time ago. He actually got an engravedmetal platewith our family name on it in the car
Bad ass car !! Love the color, the two tone and the wheels and the sound is just so awesome ! I loved these cars as a kid and no doubt influenced me in my love towards C4 corvettes . Two thumbs up !!
I always skip watch commercials, because I hope Matt will notice and think, "Hey, lets keep doing one takes. That one stranger doesn't like watches." I watch all the other ads as "payment" for the awesome free content. I'm not claiming this is based in logic or reality.
God - on that straight where you *really* get on it, 3rd gear to redline then slam it into 4th and keep on it all the way down the straight - it sounds *amazing*!!!
One of the coolest awesome maniacal dope cars ever on a One Take I think. What a beast, well sorted, crazy power, fantastic retro looks. What's not to love? Farah's shiny dome? Don't be crazy, we love Farah's shiny dome.

@@kevinhayes4508 Lol. Equal in performance to a 355? Not even close.
328 GTB was the pinnacle...cleaned up the lines of the 308 and had 270hp
gotta agree with the 308 being one of the most beautiful cars because i consider the 288 gto as the most beautiful ferrari
Blue is such an underrated color for Ferraris.
jbk94 blue is the best color period
I like this color blue though
Specifically this blue
Totally, ever seen a metallic light blue 348? stunning
Lancia Lord blue is the best.
It still looks and sounds great. Revs nicely. Shifts smoothly with a distinct click. This is a very Ferrari-like tune. Nicely done.
As much as I love to see regular people bring their cars that while cool, aren't usually totally insane cars. But a 308 with a stupid amount of power? Well I can't think of a much cooler car.

true about the "best looking"
He also tightened up the looks, the wheels look a touch too big diameter but otherwise it's sweet.
Agreed. 308,328,355 and 512BB are favorites
Man, how baller is this? This is one of the all time great cars on this channel for sure!

seen the 348 video? best car ever
What a fabulous concept, especially since so few Ferraris are modified because owners terrified of impacting residuals. Well done that man.
Wow I would like the have a talk with that owner and his tuner friends. Remarkable work on that engine. Great skills involved. Not easy at all doing what they did and he is very humble about it.
Looks amazing. Sounds fantastic. A cool build with a cool story. One of the best One Takes so far on this channel with this classic Italian beauty.

But doesn't Matt claim to be 6'3" That doesn't really make sense unless the seat rails are modified to be lower somehow.
Yeah I guess I aint gonna buy one of those when I make it in basketball (7'1", i could not drive a bmw 5 series e39)
It's funny watching Matt's head bounce off the headliner!
This 308 is absolutely beautiful! Fantastic restraint on the part of the owner keeping it mostly stock. That blue is an awesome vacation from the red that are on most.Good show to the owner!
This is what I would call a sleeper Ferrari. No one would expect a hundred horsepower more than a F40 and exact the same power as a 458 Italia in a 80's Ferrari 308. What a treat, thank you Matt!
got more power than a 458, more like an f12, cause it's 570 wheel hp
Oh yeah, exactly! My bad.
570 whp is almost 700 hp or a little more crank hp so it’s much more than a 458. 458 only put 440-460 hp to the wheels stock
What a fantastic looking car the 308/328 was.
THIS! SO MUCH THIS!! I've always thought these things were gorgeous and man...570whp would make it as fast as it looks. Friggin LOVE IT!!
Very nice, I love seeing tuned Ferraris, usually it's just the Porsche guys going nuts.
Great vid. Amazing how this 308 is so timeless in it's aesthetic...beautiful.
It's amazing what some wheels and some suspension work can do to improve the look of a car. The jump in horsepower is nice too.
This gang is all about the motor. It helps that proper tuning houses did these jobs (Callaway and ATS).
God I love the 308. They are going up in value now so I'll never get one lol. This is super unique. Love the build! This is probably one of my favorite OneTakes I think.
Coolest 308 I've ever seen! Great looking and wild power!!!
Two of my favourite things. Boost, and Ferraris. Have experienced both, but never together. What a great car.
This car is the proof that red is NOT the best Ferrari color and that turbo noises are the best.
Tom T. I’ve always loved blue and black Ferrari’s over red.
Having my morning dump while watching the latests episode of The Smoking Tire. Very nice.
Matt you were never a broke college student 😂
Luke Mezzatesta 'relatively broke'
Yeah I was laughing my ass off at that when he said that.
Yea whose he kidding lol
You better start taping some more One Takes.. When great video's like this don't exist anymore i'm really gonna be upset.. Thanks for all your hard work bro!!!
Expensive but what a beautiful Ferrari. Congratulations to the owner...pretty sweet!
Oh my god looks and sounds amazing now i want one
I've watched this video twice in the past year.
This is one of the best looking cars EVER!!!!!!
I like and appreciate how he re measured the higher front fender well/shock assembly to now match the rear assembly...looks proper now. As we all know the original car ride was high in front and lower in rear if ONLY looking at fender hieght compared to tire height...big gap in front compared to rear and you addressed and fixed in properly. Nice work!!!
Probably one of my favorites to date. What a ride.
Everyone of this dudes cars are amazing. So glad you were able to showcase and drive these things.
chuckled @10:31. Can't get enough views of those body lines and that color. Spectacular! Would love to see this particular vehicle driven out in California with those top panels popped on one of the canyon routes.
The most fun I've had watching a TH-cam video in a long time. Thanks ATS and thanks Matt. That's such a sick, left-field car.
Amazing! An older turbo Ferrari. Love it!
Good grief. That thing sounds fucking awesome. And, that gated-shifter, and coIor? Mama mia! I wish I had a neighbor like the owner.
Who said Ferrari's need to be red.. rolling artwork!!!
Jay Q id prefer yellow, but im just dreaming of a f40
Always loved these Ferraris - just the gated shifter and that sound when you put it in gear snick snick oh man’! 8500 rpm too!
So nice to see someone with great mechanical sympathy treating a test car right with the proper warm up and warm down. Respect.
I will cry my self to sleep for a month when these one takes end 😓
That turbo spool sounds amazing
That's my dream car right there... 500+ HP mid-engined and sexy looking.
Magnum PI never drove a 308 like that! Looks like that thing rips. I have always loved the 308. What an amazing build.

LazyRock
In that case, you could get a car and be about done for that $30k.
Not bad, then
Hey Matt... it would be cool (at least for track runs) to see your speed, RPM's etc...
The K Man I’ll be fine just with a tachometer shot, wouldn’t mind seeing the rpms and see where he slowly gets used to each car he drives
It’d be hard to do for old cars, but for OBD2 cars there are systems for it. Jason from Engineering Explained has one.
Tough luck, he completed filming the last one-take back in December. You're suggestion will forever go unanswered.
aiGeis like forever?
The K Man yes
looks badass w/ that 288 GTO front spoiler
My favorite sound was the gated shifter. I knew this was going to be a good one before he ever headed out the track. Cool car.
I saw this car in the background on the lotus video a few weeks back and have been checking everyday for this one take! Thanks!
This makes up for the Lotus. What a wonderful sound!
That car sounds like its straight out of a 70's or 80's racing movie, where they add in car sound to make them sound better. That is a great build.
That noise is pure gold.
But does it shoot flames?
Entrepreneurs in Cars no :-( I tried, we even left the fuel on during decel in the ecu, but alas no flames.
Eventually.
WOW! Listening to the interior sound track to this car, sounds so much like the Need For Speed game!! Nice turbo noise, BOV and the metallic clink when shifting!!
My neighbor actually owns a red 308 GTS, always keeps it covered up and takes really good care of it. Respect to this owner for his build!
amazing car and another brilliant one take. I love it when matt genuinely likes the cars and smiles like it's his birthday.
Norwood also makes twin turbo kits for Testarossas, so if you get a chance, try out one of those... ;-) Just be sure to wear your Depends.
My father actually met Enzo Ferrari when he bought his 308 a long time ago. He actually got an engravedmetal platewith our family name on it in the car
Bad ass car !! Love the color, the two tone and the wheels and the sound is just so awesome ! I loved these cars as a kid and no doubt influenced me in my love towards C4 corvettes . Two thumbs up !!
I remember your ZR1 from CorvetteForum a couple years ago. One of the most beautiful C4 on the planet.
Remoh19 thx very much I appreciate the compliment ! :)
I so need that car.... beautiful colour and love the 288 front fog lights. Can you imagine how nice a set of 288 door mirrors in blue would look?
damn, wish the owner stayed in here he sounded like he really loved the car
Phil Rindone thanks! I really do.
That is a beeeeeeautiful Ferrari! beautiful engine and exhaust sound, just the right amount of turbo noises to drive all day long!
Hope you rock the 1million subs soon, you deserve it 100%.
The sound of that turbo is just so amazing. Whooooo
What a BEAUTIFUL car! Thanks for the review. WOW!
I'm no really even a Ferrari fan, but this thing is a beautiful built, and this might be one of the best one takes yet!
Great to listen to a guy that really knows his build.
Man you were right around the corner from me. Hope you enjoyed the state! Take some of your cali brethren back with you lol i kid i kid.
This may very well be THE MOST GORGEOUS car I've seen you drive to date...?
My 328 would love an extra 300 horses.
Oh boy! Have I been waiting for this one..
Think his 308 is crazy, the mr2 is nuts!
Wow... that sounds totally different yet really wicked. And I love the 288-style front light treatment.
Now I’m just excited to see the mr2 ! I’m a Toyota fan for sure
Im blown away by this car, it sounds AMAZING
wow that colour is amazing. I always loved the 308 but this looks truly stunning, and the wheels are drop dead gorgeous
What an awesome car! it actually sounds like my 2zz turbo powered Lotus
Don’t try to sell me garbage you wouldn’t wear. TIA
I always skip watch commercials, because I hope Matt will notice and think, "Hey, lets keep doing one takes. That one stranger doesn't like watches."
I watch all the other ads as "payment" for the awesome free content.
I'm not claiming this is based in logic or reality.
Im in love with Matt's Audemars Piguet
man, gonna miss the daily videos =[ sad for these to end
Agree, especially seeing Matt on form and in a really interesting car!
logan86123 yeah he was really in his zone for this one, great car, nothing sketchy, and seems like he woke up on the right side of the bed
this car has aged so well, still stunning, this build is awesome !
Such a great build! Aaron really is a great guy, and this car says it all. Beautiful!
This is the first 308 I have seen that doesn't have the blue puffs of smoke when being pushed. Nice car.
God - on that straight where you *really* get on it, 3rd gear to redline then slam it into 4th and keep on it all the way down the straight - it sounds *amazing*!!!
And with what we know about suspension systems now! Dream builds!
goddamn the boost/engine/exhaust/gated shifter noises are soooooo satisfying.
Bob Norwood gets much kudos in Corky Bell's turbocharging book Maximum Boost
Beautiful car. I love the 288 esque front end. It sounds beautiful and it seems like the transmission has nicely matched gear ratios as well.
amazing project! Eargasm 100 % !
Favorite car so far for me
Black with gold rims for me..this is one of my favs to watch here.
omg the sounds that car makes
One of the coolest awesome maniacal dope cars ever on a One Take I think. What a beast, well sorted, crazy power, fantastic retro looks. What's not to love? Farah's shiny dome? Don't be crazy, we love Farah's shiny dome.
Never been a fan of the 308 but this is one hell of a good-looking car.
Great color on the classic 308, wheels look great especially with that lowered stance.
what color is it?
Crazy good sounding. These turbo Ferrari are just so good... like that twin turbo 348 you did a while ago
That car sounds AMAZING!
When on the track Matt can you please put a GoPro on the speedo.
What a beautiful ferrari. 👏
Sound is a pure delight .
Glad Norwood is still making Ferrari’s greater and thanks for sharing.
One my favorite Ferraris. Love this car.
Great driving!!! Much respect for the cool down lap, lots of people don't do it and end up paying through the roof 4 it later
