Time to buy a foxbody 5.0, grow a mullet, and be the most interesting person in the room.

I'd love a Superformance GT40

we might have the same tech bro

although historically mine doesn't keep anything for years.

i hope he buys it

@westopher how’s the wagon hunt coming along? You have me debating a new daily for the wife but not much out there.

I'm not seriously looking yet. Probably a late 2025/early 2026 serious look. I really don't have many options though from the looks of it. Maybe x3 4.0 or if the right f31 came up, but most have more mileage than I want.

Dealershift (@Roach) should have a F31 this week. My friend JUST traded his in. 330i. Black on Cinni. 63,600 km. 2019

That sounds perfect but I don't think the timing will work unless it sits for like a month.

Price dropped to $17,700. The scrape doesn't look too bad, some cleanup and half decent paint work should hide most of it pretty well.

Hobz, how were Maserati body parts and service parts?

Looks like just 300 cars came with the F1 box in North America.
Thus, i'm hunting for a white convertible w/ red interior and valved exhaust

A few mods in mind:
1) 2017+ Front and rear bumpers
2) F430 steering wheel
3) 458 paddle shifters
4) Updated center console

I didnt modify mine at all, so im not sure. But i wouldnt go through the dealership if you are looking for parts. Its already depreciated to such a retarded amount that its not worth throwing in OEM parts. You wont really get any more $ out of it when you sell it, if you use OEM crap. Youre in the states so its even easier to get some really decent aftermarket parts. The few GT's ive seen that have been in accidents all seem to have 5-10k worth of work for just a corner. Im sure the body parts are NOT CHEAP.

Remember to check that maseratilife link i posted for the engine chassis #. it'll determine whether or not you have a variator issue (which is the biggets failing). The rest of the car is pretty reliable and easy to work on.

Quadrifoglio:ahwow:

A lot of italiano automobilio for 50K

No carbon buckets:okay:

And no folding rear seats, I think for Quadrofolioajioashfauhfao (I cant spell it) You want late 2019+

But yes, thats is an extremely inticing package for under $50K.... If i was a mechanic...

I am super envious of my coworker, he is a sales now, but he was a certified Fiat/Alfa/BMW/Mazda/Nissan tech.... he always buys interesting cars on the side to drive for a few months and somehow sell them at a profit after he fixes a few issues with them.

Imagine not worrying buying into out of warranty European cars, a man can dream! lolollolol

Probably due for brakes but good price and way more interesting than a M3

I can't say that word without saying QuadraFAGio

I’ve always wondered if the Giulia QV’s or G80 M3’s 6MT could be swapped into other ZF8 based cars.

With enough money, anything is possible.

But yea, with the amount of sensors and software that is going on these days. It is no longer that you bolt everything in, with maybe some adapter plates.

Plug Holley, AEM, Haltech, MoTeC, someone online tune this car out so everything plays nice while retaining alot of OEM perks like, linking engine response, transmission sharpness, rev-match, suspension/damper, e-lsd limits to all "run well" in different modes from ECO to Track etc etc etc

Or even something as simple as Launch Control can have all sorts of weird parameters that I assume normal people like us wont know what to do with...

It is already an impossible amount of work/calibration even if all manufacture ECU were open source, now mix in encryption into the mix...

The engineer in me thinks modern cars are amazing because of ECU coordination—it’s what makes everything work seamlessly.

The car guy in me loves how cars like the E39/E46, Giulia, Durango SRT/Hellcat, ZL1, Viper, and C7 ZR1 nail the perfect balance of comfort and sportiness through pure tuning magic, not just electronics.

You've got 2 guys in you at the same time? Dayam

Was just about to post it in the interesting buys, damn... my boners for sporty wagons has yet to subside

and its been over 4 hours BibleThump

sexy spec but tbh my friends' f30 340i MPPK was so boring to drive
that i would really rather just have an X3 M40i or X3M

in fact, new X3M are moving SO slowly they're leasing at ~$1100 CAD a month taxes in, 0.01% interest.

Any link or anything? I am seeing $1022 on a base X3 30i on the website.

-Mark

Is no longer available with the X3 model switchover.

Checked the numbers: 0.1% loyalty interest, ~70% residual, 24 month lease.
$1150 taxes and fees in; non loyalty would’ve been 2.1% interest.
