Need the proprietary computer to reset the system after the oil
change.  So basically, unless you're DOUG with phantom contacts

The 328 is the way togo
It is a great car that is easy to work on and has GM air
They are bullet proof as well
The 355/360 require dealer intervention for a basic oil change!

Hi Ric,
Thanks for the very detailed comparision!  The depth of knowledge
on this
list always amazes me.
It;s easy to see how passionate all of you are about these great
cars!  A
328GTSi  is still high on
my list of "cars to buy" when the money is available - although the
355 &
360 are pretty high on that list also.
I am curious about one of your comments -

Why would the material of construction prevent a part from being
interchangible - as
long as the dimensions are the same?

There seems to be much misinformation about this car.
The engine is the basic 4 valve 308 motor. The block is virtually
identical to that used in the 308QV and 328. Oher than some hardware
pickup points, the casting is the same. The liners are different as
the bore is 80mm (vs 81 in 308's). The crankshaft is identical and
carries the same part number as that found in all 308s, and 208s.
The
con-rods are unique to the 288 and F40, but the bearings, bearing
caps, front crank damper are all from the 308 design. The pistons
are
lower compression, but similar to those used in the 4V cars. The
cylinder heads have some minor casting difference but are virtually
identical to 308 QV heads. The camshafts are the same part numbers
as
the euro 308 QVs.
The front timing cover is almost identical to that used in the dry
sump GTBs, as is the sump pumping system. The oil pan and rear
covers
are unique to the GTO.
The body uses the same front glass, door glass, rear glass and
taillights as a 308 GTB. Other small odds and ends are
interchangeable (side markers, the headlight buckets) with 308s.
The car is approx 4 inches longer in wheelbase, and wider due to
wider tires, not due to chassis width. The door skins are not
interchangeable. Neither is the front bonnet, as I think it's
composite (vs. aluminum on the 308's). The roof panel is not
interchangeable either for the same reason. The front and rear
bumpers are unique as well.
The brakes are the same ATE system used on the TR (similar to the
308, but larger pads and rotors). The ignition system is unique to
the GTO. The steering rack is a TRW metric rack, just like the 308,
but has a different ratio.
The front and rear suspension components are similar in design to
the
TR, but carry different part numbers.
Thus endeth the trivia lesson,
Ric Rainbolt
