Re: Car guys?
 

Nice! 997?

Re: Car guys?
 

Thank you... Yes, it's an '09. I picked it up a few months ago with 5k miles on it.

Re: Car guys?
 

Wow, good for you! That is some machine. :banger. I had an '05 Turbo S with my cousin we exported to Switzerland for sale. I went for one brief drive in it. They are a wicked cars!

Do you park in front of bath houses often, lol :rolleyes:

I recently got a new car. I was torn between a GranSport, 997, or XK recently and picked an XK Coupe.

Re: Car guys?
 

Thanks... Not often enough.:D

Which GranSport...Chevy? Loving the new XKs.:tu

Re: Car guys?
 

Maserati GranSport

Re: Car guys?
 

Nice... You know there's a few different GranSports out there. That one is gorgeous.

Re: Car guys?
 

Please tell me you drive the 997 yr round :)

Re: Car guys?
 

In the end, I was uneasy about Maserati maitainance and being stuck with the dealer for everything. My old Maser I could fix or have fixed easily by any good Italian car place; not so with the post-Ferrari stuff. On top of that, the amount of failures and nickel and dime stuff was just too much to warrant as a daily driver. Even though the engine is Ferrari developed, it sure does not sound very exciting stock. There were few attributes outside of looks or nameplate to win me over.

I'll wait for the Alfa 4C if I go Italian again.

Re: Car guys?
 

X2 and a 60K price point who wouldn't want one! Sweet a$$ car there!

Re: Car guys?
 

I wonder how it really compares to Lotus Elise. Elise is a little too small for me to be a daily driver. Almost zero storage too. I love the Alfa Brera, that's one hot looking car for a regular price. Really love the Renault Clio Turbo, that thing is straight out dope!

Re: Car guys?
 

Neg... Only the nicer days and never in the snow. Sorry to disappoint. ;)

Mosesbotbol: Can't say there's a better sounding car out there than the Maserati. It really sings with the likes of Ferrari and Lambo. My P car sounds like a box of marbles, but it goes like a raped ape. :D

Re: Car guys?
 

I am all signed up for the SRT Track experience at Englishtown Raceway.
I figure if I'm going to head out on the track for the first time, might as well do it in one of Chrysler's cars instead of mine.

I'm a little hesitant to get completely into this, as so far it's been just as expensive, if not more expensive than cigars.
Would like to take my car down the strip once, just to see what she posts.
Also would like a tune, but none are available yet. :(

Re: Car guys?
 

What car do you own that there's no tune for? Now days they can tune a blender 3 days before it is unveiled.:tu

Re: Car guys?
 

First Cruise night of the season in Hookset, NH this Saturday. I can't wait!!!!

Re: Car guys?
 

I have a 2012 Challenger SRT.
The PCM in the car is locked with rolling encryption, and has yet to be cracked. :td

Re: Car guys?
 

WOW... I just finished reading up on it. A lot of MOPAR guys are petitioning it on line. A good friend of mine is a tuner but doesn't touch MOPAR at this time. Guess you might have to swap out the pcm for an older model one if that works.

Re: Car guys?
 

Why would they do that? If the ECU could be altered, Mopar could offer add-on performance parts and even supply different mappings for a cost. As long as the program is submitted to Dodge they can OK it for warranty purposes. Bucking the consumer on a halo car like Challenger SRT makes no sense to me.

Re: Car guys?
 

Yeah, not worth it for me right now.
I've read up on it, not just a PCM swap.
Apparently you have to have a custom wiring harness built as well, since the 2010 PCM will not physically fit into the 2011-2012 cars.
Will just keep my fingers crossed.
There are some reports that Mopar will release it's own canned tune.
That honestly would be fine with me.
I just want the engine to wake up a bit. :)

Re: Car guys?
 

That is a gorgeous car my friend! :tu
