Re: 288GTO Vs 308/328

I recanted to Ric, but apparently not the whole list.

My memory seems rather shot at the moment. Could someone help remind me of the proprietary computers that ferrari gives only to their dealers, and the main uses of that computer, other than diagnostics? I am thinking of ones that are specific to either the 355 or the 360.

Thanks
John
