I’m looking forward to it as well!
I’d still like to try out a 328... After a drive in that P.O.S. 308 QV I tested this past spring, there’s gotta be way more to that model/type than what I experienced (man, what a let down that was).

It is really something to see them side by side to compare.
The ride height, track and wheel offset looks the most noticeable.
I want to hear your opinions on the chassis balance differences given the different engine layouts.
Could be interesting and fun!

No. My friend has a 3.0 Cab. Because of COVID, I saw him and his car at a recent C&C event for the first time in about two years. It was great to compare the cars side-by-side and it’s amazing the length Ferrari went to change every body
panel. Subtle details like the hood and head light pods are completely different! The T has one less grille slat and the headlight pods are longer because of it.
With the weather changing, I’ll probably only get the chance to swap cars with him next spring.

This is a great reason to consider a T along with the good performance upgrade over previous models.
Have you driven a 3.2 back to back yet?

Not entirely.
It helps for gaining access to the cooling system hoses and also the tops of the timing belt covers, but you can’t do the whole job through there.
You can do it from underneath if you remove the gas tank. There’s this video by Ratarossa on YouTube using a 355 as an example, but the same process applies to the Mondial:
www.youtube.com - DIY timing belt job There’s a detailed thread on F’Chat specifically for the T. Totally do-able at home.
It was the deciding factor for me getting the car. I was always under the impression you had to drop the whole subframe out of the car, but you don’t. The less systems you have to disturb (electrical, brake, clutch, A/C, etc), the better.

Can you do the timing belt without dropping the engine since it has that door?
The Mondial has had a few issues pop up since I got it, but nothing serious and I’ve been able to get it fixed and up-and-running quickly.
The last couple of times it had hard starting issues so, checking it out further, the fuel pressure regulators were leaking by and I wasn’t surprised, as these do fail after years of use. No biggie. I finished up the job this afternoon and made two videos:
Part 1: https://youtu.be/R9yDRJrgrcc
Part 2: https://youtu.be/8aZ6rXSqj8g
One thing I do enjoy is having that access panel/trap door behind the rear seats. This and other jobs are made so much easier because of it (as well as the convertible top folding away, as you can just lean in and have complete access). I wish the GT4 had something
like this!
