    I'm considering giving life a good old "fuck it" and buying myself a $20k headache...

    1982 Ferrari Mondial, red, 77k, $19,950. Showed the girlfriend and she said, "It's ugly, I don't care." which is a thumbs up in girl-speak!

    2021 Gladiator Willys -- 6 speed manual, 33" Falken AT, 3/4" level

    2021 Low Rider S -- Stage 2, 117hp/128ft lbs

        I think anyone can agree that the cheapest Ferrari on market is generally not a good idea. You'd think they'd have a much better description, especially being a dealer that sells tons of exotics and projects.

            Definitely not a good idea.. I found more info on in it on FChat, a couple guys there have looked at it an gotten the scoop. Would be something where I got a PPI before hand, and I know already based on other's info that it's due for a major service and the obvious interior refinishing.

            General consensus is, if you can drop the rear subframe that cradles the engine/trans/rear suspension you can save a lot of money, and if you don't need something pristine it would be a great driver's car.

            I'm under no illusions it would be cheap, or fast, or smart in any way.

            Heck no, it's already got a 9.2 second 0-60, why ruin that performance with a cheap American engine?

              Can't see more power and torque hurting 0-60, especially since it's mid-engine.

              Also, because CIS.

                                I've always used Bosch with good results. Don't have first-hand experience with Delphi.

                                  I used Delphi coils on my last change at about 171,000 miles. That was 28,000 miles ago and no problems.

                                      I used Delphi on my n54 in desperation and had issues and immediately went back to Bosch.  The Bosch cp's have a lifetime warranty as of 2017-ish so no reason to buy anything else as far as i'm concerned.

                                          I used Delphi on my n54 in desperation and had issues and immediately went back to Bosch.  The Bosch cp's have a lifetime warranty as of 2017-ish so no reason to buy anything else as far as i'm concerned.

                                          Yea I've seen that more than once now. Went with bosch's
