Might even be the Enzo that needs the rebuilds, but I definitely remember reading an article in one of the mainstream mags that mentioned something of the sort.

850 GLT Posted July 14, 2004 Report Share Posted July 14, 2004 There's an article in the August Motor Trend about a built up RWD V8 focus compared to a lamborghini gallardo. Cool article. The focus was actually 1 second faster around willow springs. Not that I would throw that much money at a focus but I would rather have a modified car than a stock supercar. But that's just me. I'm a cheap jerk.Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to see the glittering trans oil after their first drive :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats not typical. but hey Im glad because now I can tell people that well theres this guy who has one and hasnt had to have it rebuilt.←I think it's very typical. A friend of mine owns an exotic car rental place, they have brand new Lambos, Ferraris, Bentlys, some flagship Benz, plus many stretch hummers and stuff. Anyhow, from their new to older Ferraris all they really have to repair is clutch and transmission rebuilds, and that is all due to the drivers misuse. I'm told they rarely need an engine rebuild.

IOPTURBO Posted July 15, 2004 Report Share Posted July 15, 2004 ask him about a 308. also I work on and sell these cars. the 355 is junk. A rental place doesn't keep cars that long. you said it yourself they are new. I'll find the TSB on the 355 and 308. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
