Do you  feel the same about the earlier cars? I was perfectly happy with my 
328GTS  reliability and pretty much any issues were related to the age of the 
car  
and the components and not the design. The 328 and the countachs were same  
era right?  OR- am I a bit blinded by the 328 being a classic car so  I 
excuse 
problems in it that I wouldn't in a 355? I sort of think of the  328 as being 
one 
of the most reliable ferraris ever but have also been  happy with the 400i 
which is much older and has done a substantial number  of miles as well.....  
So...was the 328 a 90% car? How about the 348?  Curious on everyone's opinion 
on  
that.....

Britt,
 
After having 2 328's over the past 5 years, I now own a 355. Just wanted to  
go on the record saying I've had zero problems with the car after 8 months and 
 5000 miles (both headers were replaced before I got the car). 
 
The only glitch has be the slow down light (for overheating cats) that  has 
come on twice at startup. It's a faulty ECU that will eventually  have to be 
replaced...
