    Thank you so much for asking, what a nightmare. Special thanks and Shout outs to "E-Tip" (Eric) and Tyson, man, they deserve capes. The 308 was running hot and I pulled off on 2nd ave in Seattle to cool down, then I decided to release some of the back pressure by loosening the radiator cap. Wrong move. Kablooie!!! (DBU) {"done-blowed-up"}. Second degree burns later... I'm now hip to what not to do on a overheating car. DJ gave me some pointers, man this club is like family. Tyson made a call and "E-Tip" showed up and helped me out. Thanks again to all!

    Lem, sorry to hear about your hand.

    Back to topic: A well driven 308 will still be able to keep up with a 360 on narrow, twisty roads.

    Hi Willis, Thanks, I'm getting better day by day...

    As for the topic... are you sure? What about the brakes on a 308 as compared to those on the 360.

    For the answer to the 308 brakes, you'd have to ask Spasso. :)

    Brakes? Who uses brakes?
    Trying to keep up with Willis I don't have time for brakes.:p

    Seriously, in order of importance to a good driver making quick lap times, horsepower is last. Horse power is worthless without balance, handling and brakes. Momentum, skill and talent are what makes it happen. In aviation terms it's called "energy management". In 308 terms it's called "Keep it in the powerband and row like h*ll!".

    So... for all the young "Pada-whans" out here... are you tryin' ta tell me that puttin' the pedal to the metal, and keppin' it there, is the answer to keepin' up with the amazing 360?
