    The talk of the top speed on Wiki. I bet none of them have ever actually been top speed tested have they? What about actual performance figures?

    I hate it when online articles just make a sweeping prediction about the performance figures.

    I'm not sure what street-specs means on a car like that, but any 288 Evo can be registered to drive on the road in FL legally as can just about anything. I think you'd have a hard time getting a car denied registration in FL honestly. Someone even got an actual IndyCar road registered in FL and was driving it on I-4 near Orlando at times....and i'm not talking about the promotional one IndyCar owns for marketing-only.

    If he is suggesting that Ferrari SpA produced a GTO Evoluzione to road-going specification, that would be false.

    The whole road legal subject is fascinating. In the 60's, 70's and 80's, lots of the competitions classes had to be kind of road legal. The Group 4 cars had to have signals and even a trunk space if I am not mistaken. Even prototyped cars, at one point, such as the Ferrari P cars, P3 and P4, had signals and spare tires. The group B cars had to be road registered at a point and that's why you see some of the Group B rally cars with signals and even license plates.... So being road legal is just a matter of interpretation of the rules at that moment in time. I think Joe is correct when saying the factory did not produce the GTO Evoluzione in road-going specification. It just happened to have equipment required for the road, but the intent was definitely competition.

    Correct, what qualifies as road-legal changes over time, and is different in different transportation jurisdictions, but the GTO Evoluzione was not a road-legal car as built by Ferrari SpA in 1986.

    There is some info in my book (below), a few others, and period magazines, but the lack of prolific information is hardly surprising given the abortion of the car's planned use.

    If you're talking about either the Automusa museum in Bergeijk or the collection of Munsterhuis in Enschede, I regret to tell you that you saw a replica based on a 328 GTS.

    The only time a real Evoluzione was shown in The Netherlands was at the Ferrari 40 years exhibit at the Autotron museum in 1988.

    David Lee was sort of insinuating he still owned one until someone called him out, and eventually admitted the one at Bingo Sports is formerly his.

    Strange. I thought he still had his 288 (displayed at Daytona in 2016), when the one listed by Bingo Sports has been sitting in Japan since Dec. 2014.

    Cars (his/bingo's) also seem to be different:

    Correct.

    The car @ Bingo Sports is another Evoluzione, not 79888 formerly owned by DL.

    I was always under the impression that the one spotted in Chicago was formerly his b/c it was the same US car after the previous thread about him. Then again, the same convo. asked about the P1 GTR once more. Perhaps just me, but still gives a dodgey answer that may imply he has some ownership over it. Never can give a simple, "My friend owns it".
