Watched a friend's 288GTO on a skid-pan last year and that transition from
Corolla power to Rocket power certainly made for some interesting skid-pan
manoeuvres!!

The power delivery when the turbos spool up is "exciting" on the 288...took
a 
nice long ride in one about 10 yrs ago...will never forget it.

And, I will never wash the clothes I was wearing at the time.

Yeah, heh heh.  But I think he was pressing a point - - - WONDERFUL looking 
car - But not a driver.

Heck, looking at the price the 288 GTO was a few years ago and today - a 
great hedge on inflation.

Saw one up in Emeryville CA that had taken a trip down a slight off road 
tour.  Not entirely like the ". . . good tires but certainly not great 
tires" picture.  Seem mechanic took car out with a fried and stood on  - car

came around on him, down an embankment and through a telephone pole slightly

aft of the passenger side.  Imagine explaining to the customer his belt 
change just exceeded $100,000.00.

Sad thing is - this is akin to dropping a Ming vase and gluing back together

again.  Sorry 'bout that Humpty Dumpty.
