    The car looks soooo much smoother with the small round euro indicators at the corners. The US really F'd up the look of these things.
    Can't wait to get the twins together!

    I also know of a black '76 GTB euro that was in Colorado, the owner sold it to out of state. l almost bought that car - but mine ran so much better, Forza did a writeup on that car also, it was modified nicely. I wonder if anyone on here has that car, it had a gto style body on it...sort of..

    Off topic, but since we are on the subject of "euro" 308 model, why in the hell US has a different front bumper? Don't tell me it was due to DOT/SAE safety requirement.

    308 is such a beautiful machine!

    It was.

    The US bumper has support and shocks the Euro doesn't. That is one reason why you cannot simply change grills - or even cut them - to place the other lights down there like the Euros have. The shocks and mounts on the US bumpers are in the way.
