    the 308/28's are such pretty cars. i know i keep saying this but ferrari has not managed to come close to making a sexyer in recent years. they really have not!

    the pedals look very nice...do they make them for a boxer? how do they mont? please explain.

    Thanks!!

    I am sure Hill Engineering makes them for the Boxer. Their site is down at the moment so I could not check for you. Installation was easy...and took about 1.2 hours. You simply drill holes with good drill bits, mount the pedals and put allen bolts through. Hill provides all the parts needed and good directions. I recommend a plug in drill (non-cordless) and brand new drill bits designed for metal use. Make sure you order the dead pedal too...that is extra, but well worth it.

    donald, i am 6-4 so i would worry about loosing any leg room by layering the new pedals. how do you find the thickness impacts you? if at all???

    again...a lovely car. for the price of a lexus you can drive an icon!! hard to dispute the value proposition!!!!!

    I am 6'3 and was worried about the same thing before ordering my pedals. I cannot notice a difference however. Since you remove the rubber covers on the brake and clutch before installing the metal plates there is hardly a difference. The metal is not as thick as you might think. On the gas pedal you probably lose a 1/4 inch or more since you are not removing anything before mounting the metal cover. However, I do not notice.

    The silver model ID badges on the back show this to be an '86 like my #62319. Where does yours fall in relation? (Mine is 19-years-old this month but has been in my ownership for only 10 months.)

    Hope you have as much fun as I've already had!

    Yes it has been fun! Mine is 66129 and you are right...it is a 1986 model. I now have 33K miles.

    Totally agree. The car seem to get fatter and fatter since the 328... Would the model after the 430 be fatest???

    Donald; The car looks great!!!! I was thinking about doing the same thing to my 328, but sold it and bought a 355B. At 6'3" the 328 must be pretty comfortable to drive at least in respect to the outside rear view mirrors. I am 5'10" and found the foot well to be a little deep and ended up with the seat so far forward that rear view mirror vision was limited. If Ferrari had made moveable pedals I would have never sold the 328. I really believe that may be the one of the neatest and genuinely fun Ferraris to drive.
