On this episode of Hemmings Garage sponsored by POR-15 and presented by US Radiator, we spend some time on the engine dyno. It’s no secret GM’s GEN III/IV LS engine platform is good. Really good, in fact. However, it’s the larger engines such as the 5.3L, 6.0L, 6.2L, and infamous 7.0L LS7 that garner most of the attention.

On this episode of TESTED, presented by American Collector Car Insurance, host Mike Musto gets behind the wheel of the Pininfarina-designed Ferrari 308 GTB. It boasts a transversely mounted 3.0-liter V8 engine, marking Ferrari’s first venture into V8-powered, mid-engine road cars. The targa version, the Ferrari 308 GTS gained worldwide fame, notably starring in the TV series “Magnum, P.I.,” solidifying its status as an iconic Ferrari.
