    I am almost certain that Road & Track magazine here in the U.S. did a test of a standard 360 Modena vs. 360 Challenge vs. ALMS car. Unfortunately I have archived all my old magazines into boxes in my garage. Again, working from memory I think either Sam Mitani or Patrick Hong wrote the story, and race driver Cort Wagner assisted in the testing. You might try using Google to see if that article is available as a digital reprint. Good luck!
