turning circles

Post by 5lab » 07 Nov 2004 10:07 pm

.. did we get a resolution on what the turning circles are like for a 300? i've currently got all 3 variations - a 360 with pas, 360 no pas, and a 340 (nopas), and i cant notice any difference at all!

Nope...didn't get round to that. I remembered...but not when we were driving.

If a 'non-pas' car is supposedly better than a 940, you'd see a BIG difference.

I heard that turning circle depends on what tyres/wheels were fitted from the factory. Early 340s had 155 tyres and very tight turning circle (a friend told me that it was very funny when it looked like the wheels were turned almost 90 degrees on a 344 :D ), almost all 360s had 175 tyres and GLTs had 185 tyres.
