GTC, as mentioned, has similar engine to GTB (Daytona). Carburettors were relocated to provide lower hood profile. Zero to 60-80 speed is greater for Daytona, but after 80 GTC4 is actually faster. Top-end is greater on GTB. Creature comforts placed this car as a Grand Touring, and it lived in the shadow of the Daytona. Great lines, great value. Any color is fine, although some believe the darker colors minimize the "lips". I do not find the dark bumper unsightly. The plastic front bumper was a first for Ferrari and all cars of its day, as it is the first car (any car, I believe) to have no chrome on the bumper. Great driving 12 cylinder car. BEST value today for a front-engine 12 cylinder. My thoughts. Jim S. |

The 365GTC has the same engine as the 365GT4 2+2, which has the inlet ports between the cams. Plus a front mounted gearbox. The 365GTB4 (Daytona) has the inlets in the middle of the V, thus different heads (atleast), and runs a transaxle type gearbox. Thus you can see that the 365GTC is simpler car than the 365GTB4 regarding running gear, and not as performance orientated. I have read that they (365GTC) are really are touring car ... Dark colours hide the bumper better IMO. Rather have a 365GT4 2+2 myself, as same performance and components and room for the kids , each to their own. Pete BTW: The earlier 365GTB have a single overhead cam Colombo engine, I believe. |

The GTC is much tamer than the GTB. Less HP, less revs, power steering. Still a great sounding car and for sure undervalued |

Cromodora wheels are most beautiful than borrani.This car is very young for borrani wheels. Silver is the perfect colour for this car. Cromodora wheels are wonderful. In Spain there are 2 cars, black and red. i saw a silver 365 ctc4 and a 330 gtc in the ferrari shop at cannes (France). |

The first ferrari with nero bumpers. I love it. i would like to read an article of this car. Do you drive it? its fun? Why pay more for a daytona when this car is very similar and less popular? I would like to see photos of this car. 500 produced. |
