Well, I'm actually with Foggy, although no disrespect to Andy's car, I think it's very planted, smooth and the new components have made a huge difference. I still didn't see it as being anything out of the realms of the capability of a 360's handling, or at least one with decent or unworn components. I can't remember if Beast was high mileage or not, but it seems to me as though you've not experienced the full potential of a 360 from Beast!
Tyres are something I will not scrimp on, and on my 360 it handled so much better on the wider 15's of a decent make, going back to Pirellis (not impressed by them despite them supposedly being a good make, P6000's are lethal in the wet!) on the 14's was a shock.
The 340 is definitely lighter at the rear, and it shows, it feels as though it wants to carry on out past you on corners sometimes, where as the 360 is very planted at the rear, and does need serious provocation to have the similar feeling.
