Pista - Part 1
Ferraris are at their best on a racetrack. Roadcourse (Grand Prix) type racing is what Ferraris are designed to do. Anyone fortunate enough to have driven on of these fine cars on a track can attest to this fact. While not the fastest drag race cars around, even my 19 year old 308 GTB can hold it's own on a track against modern sports cars. I've personally logged over 1200 race miles in my two 308's and neither has suffered any on-track failures.
