Better than a 355?

I sense it depends what era you are from.

Having owned none. So looking purely from a passion and enthusiast point of view. The two Ferrari's I'd like to own are the 308 GT4 and the Mondial coupe. Regardless of money. I'm 35 so not sure they tally with either era really.

Can you explain why?

No probably not But I'll give it a go.

The GT4 has grown into itself I think over time. But the Mondial....?

And neither comes close to, for example, a 355 for me. Nowhere near on looks, noise, performance, usability. In fact any measure apart from the number of seats

When I was a lot younger, the 308 GTB was my hero car, posters on the wall. And yes, when the 355 came out, it was amazing. Lots of hype and JC raved about it, which I think made it even more so in the spot light. If you asked me then the question, then yes, I'd probably have said 355 too.

Now I still think these are awesome and the 355 was probably the last "pretty" Ferrari.

But over the years I've come to realise I prefer to like what I like, rather than what is deemed popular or the "in" thing to like.

I just love the way the 308 GT4 and Mondial Coupe look.


That and the realisation that for road driving, it really doesn't need to be latest and greatest and most definitely not the most powerful or claiming the fastest Nurburgring lap time.

I would never try and claim them as superior Ferrari's, just the ones I like the most. And given the opportunity (lotto winnings), then I'd be looking at these two over all the prancing ponies.
