Blue isn’t a color?
The car was a replica of the 250 GT California Spyder. There was no such thing as “Ferrari GT California”. The number is very important, as the number actual indicates the model. There was also a Ferrari 365 California
It’s a breeze. Drop the cradle. You were never meant to pull the motor from the top. Although, I have a buddy with a C5 Coupe with a built LS1 with a T-Trim kit on it that he yanked through the top. Unbolt the hood and be careful of the firewall and cowl, like any other car.
I remember when Hartge was king of the BMW engine swap.
Cooled seats. It’s damn hot out, and seat foam holds the heat in even after the car has cooled off.
I had even more control over the application of power with a clutch vs. a torque converter, but the concept still applies. Starting a RWD car on an 11% grade on snow is a dicey prospect, even with snow tires.
I live in the hilly suburbs of NYC. I did a stick 14 Mustang GT for 5 winters here on Blizzaks and then studded Nokians. I sold that car with 92,000 miles on it. Everyone who says “oh, RWD is fine in the winter if you have snow tires” has never had to stop on an uphill in a blizzard in a RWD car.
The IS350 f sport and the standard IS350 have the same size tires. I know because I’ve replaced 4 front tires on my mothers 14 IS350 AWD Luxury Package for her. The f sport gets adjustable shocks and opens up the option for a Torsen limited slip on the rwd cars
I think that's how half the the X6Ms I see get sold.
I got a 17 GS350 AWD as a loaner last year. It was nothing but float and wallow. I hated it. I loved everything else about that car, but wished there was about 40% more rebound dampening. I think a GS350 F-Sport AWD would be perfect for me, save for the fact that Lexus STILL hasn’t figured out a way to hook the 8…
Ouch. Sorry dude.
This car is everything I wanted my 2014 GT Track Pack to be. I ordered it with Recaros because the stock seats didn’t really do anything for me. I bought a white cue ball shift knob for it before the car was even delivered and installed it at the dealership. I got a set of take-off Boss 302 wheels because retro look.…
Watching the RSR and the 67 GT bash the everloving hell out of each other through what looked like 5 and 6 was amazing. The RSR lost a dive plane on the exposed tire of the GT trying to bump him into the dirt.
I am an unabashed Corvette/Corvette Racing fan. This was an amazing race to watch. Tons of contact, good passing, and the entire GTLM field stayed pretty much bunched up with the exception of the #66.
My boss is always telling me about the power of demonstrative evidence, so here goes:
It’s okay Justin. You’re allowed to be wrong.
No spacer required?
If I were going to buy this, it would immediately have to get rear subframe reinforcements and overhaul the entire vanos system, including a cryo treated exhaust hub and loctite for the cam bolts. Install a milltek catback to get rid of that terrible exhaust rasp, then daily it for 100k miles.
I love the optional polished 19s that this car has. So there's that.
It was. It was one of the first non Ferraris to offer this tech. A collector probably thought that would mean something back in the early 2000s.
