Reply to "512 BB Anyone ?"

Okay.....
Yes I have a 84BBI,
So many coments, the Boxer out accelerates the the Pantera , out corners the pantera , and faster than the pantera, and comparing your stock pantera to stock the Ferrari the Ferrari is such a precision refined machine. I can drive the Boxer at a 150mph, if I had the track of course, all day long and the Boxer will not care. Not with the pantera, Cleveland stock 6000 rpm for how long before it goes boom.
I have turned down offers of 189k for mine, it is worth 6 times a stock narrow body.
Engine out service if done, 10k for a non maintaned or sitting car, which was mine, 10k because as mentioned, I did everything with the engine out. from here on after because I use the car...they are 5k services every 8 years or 30k miles.
I have added Tubi, 3pc compomotive racing wheels, 17x8, 17x10, MSD ignition ( the stock ignition whines loud and not to reliable)

I love the GT5, but I get in the Boxer and it's such a ride, freinds have been in both for hard, very hard runs, corners, drag, oh...and brakes! the Boxer is far superior

A very close freind of mine has been in the Ferrari business for 35 years and always said, for the most part, it cost $100 a month to own a ferrari. Do the math, 5000.00 service once ever 5yrs for say a 355 or a 360, 8 yrs for a boxer. 5-8 yrs or 30,000miles which ever one comes first.
Hmm, 5-8 yrs of maintenence on a new chevy truck, brakes, oil changes, rear end , posi fluid, 15k service, 30k service, tires, 45k service, brakes again, 60k service, add that up over 5-8 years. yes you drive it more, and it costs more than a ferrari, not to mention your chevy depriciated !!!! to what?
your ferrari went way north!!
That said , you have to buy right.
There are Boxers for sale for under a 100k, 125k, some are floating around 150k, 185k etc.
Pedigree is everything in a ferrari period.
who owned, who serviced it, miles, proper storage, proper timely services,
Back to service, sucks to wright a check for 5-10k every 5-8 yrs depending on your model, soooo, put a 100 bucks every month in a coffee can every month and when the time comes who cares, it's equity and painless.
Sorry for rambling,

Daniel
