Ferrari 308 GTB 2.9 V8 240

The Ferrari 308 GTB 2.9 V8 240 reaches 60 mph in 6.27 s (100 km/h in 6.54 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 14.70 s, tripping the lights at 99.0 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.56 s and the eighth mile in 9.72 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and drivetrain, then fitted to this car’s own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

About the 308 GTB 2.9 V8 240

The 1975 Ferrari 308 GTB 2.9 V8 240 is a rear-drive naturally aspirated coupe of 1,410 kg with 240 bhp, which works out at 170 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 170 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.56 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 3,591st quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 98th quickest of the 129 Ferraris here. Its 99.0 mph trap speed sits about where its 0-60 puts it, so it launches and pulls in roughly equal measure. The simulation is trimmed to 2 of 2 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Ferrari 308 GTB 2.9 V8 240 0-60 time?
The Ferrari 308 GTB 2.9 V8 240 reaches 60 mph in 6.27 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 3,591st quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Ferrari 308 GTB 2.9 V8 240 quarter mile time?
14.70 s at 99.0 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 9.72 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.56 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Ferrari 308 GTB 2.9 V8 240 have?
240 bhp and 1,410 kg, which is 170 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 240 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Ferrari 308 GTB 2.9 V8 240?
Closest here on pace: Subaru Impreza GT 4WD (6.24 s), Maserati Indy 4.7 V8 290 (6.37 s), MINI Coupe Cooper S (6.27 s). Each one can be raced against the Ferrari 308 GTB 2.9 V8 240 in the panel at the top of this page. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Ferrari 308 GTB 2.9 V8 240 is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 2 of its 2 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
