ok...i will definitely install a cooler per your advice.
Who is tom? Is he on long island?
I ordered the noble from 1g racing in ohio (the importer) in carbon black...which is a really dark blue bmw color with tan and black suede interior (similar to the svx). However, I only put a deposit as it is 6 months wait. The more i look the more I see preowned ones that i can save a bundle on. I drove the car on the street about 3 months ago and fell in love. I do not plan to track the car as that is not my cup of tea. I just wanteed something different that was not a poser car. If i buy used, i can minimize the loss when i sell it. Who knows..I am a bit nervous cuz it is alot of money. I usually buy cars with intent to enjoy em and then sell them at close to a break even possibly a profit. Meantime, I get to enjoy em. I did not buy the SVX with this intent.
For the guy who was asking. The motor is a ford duratec, same as a taurus and mazda 6 that is severly upgraded and twin turbocharged...I believe deisnged by Roush Racing.
I am going to put stock wheels on the car. I did consider heavily the sti wheels (per a suggestion here), but think that I like the stock look best. I just missed a set on ebay with new tires that sold for 192 bucks!!! damn!
I saw the chromoe oes listed here and think they are a bit loud for my taste.
Thanks again for your replies. I am a certified car nut. I always get hold of something different and interesting...keep it for a while and then sell it. The only thing i know for sure about a car when I buy it...is that i will sell it....sometime soon. The SVX, however, is going to serve as my everyday car to and from work in snow sleet or rain. I plan to keep it for quite some time.
If anyone is interested. I have lots of videos and pictures of cars past owned. If not, let me know and ill stop.
Here is a teaser of the actual car from the movie Ferris Bueller that I owned for a brief time with the intent to sell it for a profit. If is a replica ferrari that was built for the movie and is on a custom chassis much like the cobra replicas. My bro in law is an aspring director and put the video to the music and sounds of the movie for effect. A bit overboard, but it helped sell the car. I terrorized my hood for this video, however... ENjoy...
