andecorp Report post Posted June 24, 2016 What do you think the cars needs as a mnimum? I have a feeling quite a bit..... Lots. Mine came with 4 massive folders with data on all the races it's been in. The average cost per year to run her was $118k. And that wouldn't included the cost of getting her race ready which I am finding it's massive. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
abolfaz Report post Posted June 24, 2016 What does the legal process itself look like? I'd be curious to see if how it was done was turly legal or if it was simply a matter of exploiting a loophole. When Roy's svr was on eBay years ago, the seller was very sketchy when asked about how a race car obtained a title and was "street legal". Regardless, I've seen people simply put a mechanics lien on a non us legal car and viola 45 days later you have a title.

I also wonder if the car is titled as a "kit car" can you actually insure it for full value? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't think of $118K worth of items that need to be fixed each year on a decent car unless stuff was breaking quite often.

Supercar Ace Report post Posted June 29, 2016 Wow! I can believe it was that much per year! What all was required that was so massive in cost. I can't think of $118K worth of items that need to be fixed each year on a decent car unless stuff was breaking quite often. It is a full-blown racecar and those always need a lot of things replaced constantly to stay in peak running condition. I'm surprised the number is not higher (though it also depends on how many races it's been in per year). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

camaro97 Report post Posted June 29, 2016 If it's just a fun car to drive around the track once or twice a month, are the maintenance costs really that high? I would have thought it would be only a little more compared to a regular diablo. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

IanMan Report post Posted June 30, 2016 What about all those Ferrari Challenge cars.....were any of them converted to street legal? I could swear some of those 348 and 355 Challenge cars were converted to street... Rob (Ferretti) has one. F430 type. I'm pretty sure his was originally a challenge car. I've seen a video or two wear he was driving it on the road. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

megachad Report post Posted July 1, 2016 I doubt the engine has ever been "torn down". The V12 engines in these cars are quite bullet proof.. they always have been. Remember, Racing is the largest tax shelter there is. So odds are the figure of maintenance costs is over inflated dramatically. The most expensive would be body damage if there was any. Otherwise odds are inside that expense is probably the cost of labor for pit crew and other shit too. My friend ran an R8 LMS car for a whole season.. Expenses consisted of brakes and tires.. It's on the same engine for the 4th year. The porsche gt3 cup cars are diff.. 100hours and engine rebuild regardless i am told.

emilio Report post Posted July 4, 2016 Friend of mine has a 348 Challenge car on the road and legal for many years, it is extremely loud and noisy inside though. there were/are 2 different 348 challenge mufflers: one is a straight pipe (extremely loud) one is a single silencer, sport one, loud but OK for the road i add a pic of both the mufflers the stock 348 cars had 2 big heavy silencer, one over the other, very heavy and silent the "middle" level muffler is ok for the road and ok performance. (20 hp over the stock 348 equipment), the straight pipe was only for the trak in period. a friend has a yellow 348 TS challenge: is cool but very very loud...i think easy to get pulled over with that one.

My friend has an F355 GTS with full Fabspeed straight pipes. I drove behind him one time through a tunnel and it was so loud that MY ears were ringing! That car attracts attention!

topcabron Report post Posted July 14, 2016 http://www.jamesedition.com/cars/lamborghi...or-sale-1204897 something about a race tuned engine, Diablo with a huge wing that is inspiring. That blue looks great on the car too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
falconsprint Report post Posted July 15, 2016 http://www.jamesedition.com/cars/lamborghi...or-sale-1204897 I'm always surprised when someone lists a Lamborghini for sale and doesn't include any pictures of the engine. Especially when Lamborghini would say "first we design the engine, then build a car around it". Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
