Mark's Ferrari

Is Mark's Ferrari a Challenge, or just a standard Modena with a bunch of work done to it?

It's a Challenge model. At least that's how it's listed in the results.

Alrighty. Thanks sir.:)

I believe it is a purpose built challenge model and not street legal.

Mark told me it was a Challenge, so unless he was lying, here you have it :)

I got to ride in it once, it's definately a challenge model.

Wheeeee :D

Nearly as fun as riding in Gary's vette during fun runs at my second autocross

[nik]

I saw the ad from when he bought it, definately a challenge model.

What do they go for, roughly? 100k?

[mievil]

Looks like around $180,000 new, dependant on dealer markup.

Found a bumper cover for $7000. lol That's what my car's worth now. :p

Let's see, bumper cover, or new econo-box......hmmmm...kidding

That Ferrari is damn sexy.

They are much cheaper used as they are not street legal, which means people have a harder time selling them and they have to lower the price.

:rolleyes: Of course "cheaper" and "lower the price" are relative terms. :eek:

[Mazda_Gremlyn]

Hah yeah i though that after I had posted... what is "cheaper" for a ferrari?

[froggy47]

Actually you can get into the older v6 dino's for mid to upper 20's for an average cond.

Don't expect the performance to be much though. A used late 80's early 90's civic will blow it off I expect.

They are pretty though.

Are they seriously underpowered? I did a search and found some stuff about a 2.0L and 2.4L v6 (the latter having ~190hp or so).

Well it's relative, I looked at a couple of Dino's b4 I got the LT4 Vette. For 25k or so a delicate, beautiful old baby Ferrari making about 200hp, for a lot less a very rugged, much less expensive to repair, good looking Lt4 Vette making probably 345hp.

It's probably a bit lighter but not enough, don't know what class it runs in?

If I could of had both I would, I don't think the Dino would have held up well to autox 2 or 3 times a month, tires were also problematic, wasn't sure if I could get good ones in it's size.
