I'm looking forward to October 9...
The 330 GT guide is up. Enjoy! If you have any comments or feedback I'd like to hear it.
donv,
I know it is a hassle to sign up but the software is the exact same as what is being used here so it shouldn't take too long and will be familiar.
Kind Regards,
Andrew
Very nicely done!Enzo250GTO wrote:Matt,

I'd like to add that the rear suspension also has a coil-over setup in addition to the rear leaf springs. This redundant system, along with the two pairs of radius arms, really locate the rear axle, providing that flat cornering and surprisingly little axle hop for a solid axle car.
I'd also say that the article would benefit from the experience of a few more examples before making some generalizations. For example, Yale says that "the floor mounted Series One cars have a comparitively easy amount of [pedal] pressure needed, with the Series Two's you are going to get a work out on your right leg." I think that anyone who drove my 330 would disagree.
Yale is very friendly, knowledgeble, and particularly helpful on this forum. But I'd suggest that he goes a little too far in his jounalistic enthusiasm: "blasting onto a highway, all four wheels fighting for grip and powersliding in third gear..." I'd like to see that! ;-)

Hi Matt,
It's all from personal experience so there probably could be less pressure needed for some of the Series 2 cars, (like yours). As for power sliding onto the highway from on ramps, you haven't done that? Those XWX's (and I have new ones) are not exactly sticky and having the car slide around a bit is part of the charm of driving this era car. I guess you better get your rear end out of Pittsburgh and come on down to Tom's party and we can trade cars. (That is of course if my car is in operation).
All the best,
Yale

Brake Pedal Pressure?
Hi Yale and Matt.
I presume you are comparing pressure needed to stop. In my experience, changing from one type of brake pad to another on my car made quite a difference. Maybe that is the major issue.
Cheers

William,
Don't know if you realize but the amount of questions about downloading the guides on your site mean it is less then intuitive. There is a link to Buyers Guides but the Vintage Guides are not there. There are no buttons as part of the site navigation for the Buyers Guides, it looks like you have to pay to download the Buyers Guides, if you click on more info on individual models this is a non-linked and seperate area then the Buyers Guides, etc, etc.
None of us want to own up to how stupid we feel when we can't find them, I'll be the first. If we have to ask you questions about these downloads the site design could be improved. Yale

Yale,
Appreciate the feedback and we are working on a solution to simplify the process. In the meantime, anyone who is having problems can email me:
williamtaylor8@gmail.com
and ask to have the guides sent directly to them.
