    I have read that the road variants of the 348CH and 348GTC cars had some important changes compared to std cars, so does anyone have photos, pictures or drawings of the items showing the details...


    1. Front Underbody tray with BRAKE COOLING ducts

    2. Rear under body tray

    3. Gear shifting was not cables but rod (a la 355)

    4. Solid Bushes - what was the material ?

    5. Steering Wheel (348CH)


    thanks.

    348GTC also has the F119H block in it, which has a 10.8:1 compression ration vs the F119D & F119D blocks which have 10.4:1 cr. In addition they have the taller plenum tops for a bit more intake volume. Their cam timing is also retarded a bit and have a little more overlap (1-2º depending on market) than the standard cars. That would move the power band a little bit higher in the rpm range, and probably why the need for a more plenum volume.

    The GTCs MAY.........have had the a-arms relocated for better suspension geometry? But don't quote me on that. It's is my GUESS that the GTCs have the same suspension geometry as the 355. I haven't ever verified that but it wouldn't surprise me if it were true. Maybe even the same a-arms???

    The GTCs also have dry carbon fiber doors, front and rear bumpers. Not sure about the front hood, but maybe that is cf too?

    The steering on the GTCs cars may also have a tighter turning radius?

    Gear ratio of the gearbox will be similar to that of a spider.

    Fuel pressure regulators will be the 3.8 bar variant.

    Single plate clutch.

    As for the shifter, that is still cable.
