nice cars

Great advice Lucas. One thing I would add to that is that he should listen to a few sound bytes of the different exhaust systems before he considers upgrading. Personally, I agree with Racing Beat's position about not wanting to make a $30K car sound like a $10K Honda. Their exhaust is so much deeper sounding than the others. B&B, while a good company, makes the 8 sound to "ricey" IMHO. Just do a search within the forum and you'll find all sorts of links to them. If you can't, PM me and I can e-mail them to you. :o

Exaust finishers and we will have twins , cept mine is green .Have debated the front guards for some time,as to how they go with the front and rear aero package . have concluded i like the looks and the purpose they serve will be worth it . IMHO

I just listened to a clip of the B&B exhaust. Good call about the ricey sound. Racing Beat is also another company I might go with. I like their philosophy...the looks of their products are simply an added benefit to the peformance.

Dude... you drive a Ferrari....the cost of side deflectors shouldn't even be an issue :D

It's because I have two sports cars that I have to watch expenses...otherwise the wife might get concerned...

The rich don't get rich by being big spenders. My brother-in-law is an orthopedic surgeon, and they just bought a "used" Lexus instead of a new one.

I'm definately NOT rich...I have a budget for the cars that I need to stick to. :o

Nice ride and GREAT avatar! I loved that movie! Congrats on the 8, and we hope the 8 get more street time than the Ferrari!

DKNYJoey

I must say..... Great taste in Autos!!! Very Nice!

JonnyT

Thanks for the kind words, folks. I love both cars...if the Ferrari had a back seat it would get as much road time as the 8. As it stands, i'll drive them both as much as possible...

I guess I should give all of you a full picture of the Ferrari...

Hey, how's the reliability of the 308? I've thought about doing something like that, but I have been afraid of it being a mechanical nightmare. Any advice?

can i have it?

It's funny that people think there are reliability issues with Ferraris. My car has 90k miles on it and has not had ANY major problems. Yes, service is more expensive, but the payoff is well worth it. If you get a clean one that HAS been driven and serviced, your problems should be minimal. Many people look for low mileage Ferraris...the problem with them, or any other car for that matter, is that when they sit without being driven it's not good for the hoses, seals etc. You want one that has at least been driven an average of 3k/year and has service records for at least the last 10 years of it's life. Hope this helps...
