Ferrari 456's are starting to dip !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . I always liked these a lot.

Under $40,000 a year worth of maintenance?

These were the precursor to the 512 right?

Is the best Ferrari?

Always liked the subdued look — but somebody, please help with the poverty-spec wheels

612 Scuderia carried the torch - prior to the 456 was the 412/400

One of the most underrated Ferraris you can buy, and therefore one of the most interesting for me. I love the styling.

Ya I saw these and I was like hmmmmm~ Kinda wanna put it on my list......but our resident cookie monster told me you have to drop the drive train for just about anything....but they still are amazing!

Prettiest Ferrari since the 365 GTB/4 Daytona. Even better than the 308/328 and 288 GTO IMO.

There hasn't been one as pretty since. It's timeless.

AMC/Renauledge > Patrick Glace 02/23/2015 at 20:39

612 Scaglietti you mean. The Scuderia was an F430 that replaced the Challenge Stradale.

Yes, that is what I mean!!! Thanks — 10 lashings.

Not as much of a fan of the 456M's "revised" fascia as shown in the top picture, but the original 456GT is by far my favorite Ferrari 2+2. Stylish and elegant, muscular yet restrained; nothing obnoxious and overwrought like today's Ferraris.

I cannot emphasize enough how much I love the GT.

Someone that lives around here has one, saw it once driving down the road. They look subdued in pics, but they have presence like crazy in person.

Manuél Ferrari > jkm7680 03/01/2015 at 15:12

Still cheaper to maintain than an S4 2.7 TT ;)

jkm7680 > Manuél Ferrari 03/01/2015 at 15:14

Lol, my next obsession is supercharging a B5 A4 Avant.

Manuél Ferrari > jkm7680 03/01/2015 at 15:15

2

How much horsepower would that produce?

jkm7680 > Manuél Ferrari 03/01/2015 at 15:17

1

Probably just around 300 with a tune and the S/C.

Manuél Ferrari > jkm7680 03/01/2015 at 15:20

2

Nice

Lots of torque too

And wagon!

jkm7680 > Manuél Ferrari 03/01/2015 at 15:21

Haha, I'd do it with the 30v 2.8. I've got the 12v currently.

Manuél Ferrari > jkm7680 03/01/2015 at 15:24

Please start this project soon

Thank you

jkm7680 > Manuél Ferrari 03/01/2015 at 15:26

I would love to.

http://www.andysautosport.com/products/pes_s…

I'd do everything. S4 interior swap, Rs4 front bumper, Porsche 993 cup ii wheels. I'd do it all.

Manuél Ferrari > jkm7680 03/01/2015 at 16:07

2

this sounds like an amazing build!

jkm7680 > Manuél Ferrari 03/01/2015 at 16:32

1

I hope, I'd also hope for a Porsche front brake upgrade. All of this would cost under $10,000 so I wouldn't feel like I could be getting a much better car for that amount. I've already put together a budget and wishlist.

There's just something about building your own car how you want it rather than buying a brand new car.......

I might actually keep my current B5 also like a total hoarder, haha.

Manuél Ferrari > jkm7680 03/01/2015 at 16:48

The whole project will be under $10K, including the car?

jkm7680 > Manuél Ferrari 03/01/2015 at 16:53

0

Should be! Possibly a bit over.

$1,000 for the brakes.

$1,000 for the wheels and tires.

$4,000 or less for the car.

$2,500 for a used/reconditioned Supercharger.

$6-800 worth of bodywork.

$500 for S4 interior/steering wheel.

Probably $500 for other shit.

Manuél Ferrari > jkm7680 03/01/2015 at 16:57

Wow!

Hell of a deal!

jkm7680 > Manuél Ferrari 03/01/2015 at 17:01

Damn well better be if I actually decide to go for it, haha.

Manuél Ferrari > jkm7680 03/01/2015 at 17:11

2

If you don't do this project then buy dat 911 Targa!

jkm7680 > Manuél Ferrari 03/01/2015 at 17:12

1

Haha, if I can even find one. I'm pretty sure that the red one has since sold.

Manuél Ferrari > jkm7680 03/01/2015 at 18:05

2

I'll find you one in CA!

jkm7680 > Manuél Ferrari 03/01/2015 at 18:06

1

Haha, well I've got $15,000 or less to work with.

Manuél Ferrari > jkm7680 03/01/2015 at 18:58

2

Maybe I'll find a really good deal one day :)

jkm7680 > Manuél Ferrari 03/01/2015 at 19:01

1

I beeeeter find a really good deal one day. :)

Manuél Ferrari > jkm7680 03/01/2015 at 19:03

2

It might have to be a beaeeeeeater since you won't use debt to increase your budget like I do ;)

jkm7680 > Manuél Ferrari 03/01/2015 at 19:06

1

LOL, you got it.

Manuél Ferrari > jkm7680 03/01/2015 at 19:15

2

I'm gonna find you a car one day that you love so much that's priced so well that you'll break the rules and get a loan :D

Look at this 911!

http://orangecounty.craigslist.org/cto/4874606768…

The engine was replaced by the factory already so you don't have to deal with the IMS issue. The factory replacement engines probably had that issue fixed already.

jkm7680 > Manuél Ferrari 03/01/2015 at 19:48

1

Scary mileage, but still looks like mhmmmm!

Manuél Ferrari > jkm7680 03/01/2015 at 19:50

2

It's not scary! This engine will go at least 100,000 more miles before needing a rebuild!

jkm7680 > Manuél Ferrari 03/01/2015 at 19:51

1

Haha, I've got those on my radar. Insurance might be a little ghahgahghdsjghf though.

Manuél Ferrari > jkm7680 03/01/2015 at 19:54

2

YES! Glad you have them on your radar.

I really don't think the insurance would be bad at all. Insurance usually has more to do with the car's value than its power. Also if power is factored in then they probably only look at total power, not power to weight. A 996 Carrera's total power isn't even considered high these days.

jkm7680 > Manuél Ferrari 03/01/2015 at 19:57

1

Haha, they're always on there. Like actually always. Whenever one comes up it's usually salvage title AF or a missing engine or some weird inbetween garbage.

I'll try to grab a quote though and see where it sets me at.

Manuél Ferrari > jkm7680 03/01/2015 at 20:00

2

I bet you it costs way more to insure a 5 year old Mustang GT due to the higher HP!

jkm7680 > Manuél Ferrari 03/01/2015 at 20:01

1

Probably cheaper than a WRX, haha.

Manuél Ferrari > jkm7680 03/01/2015 at 20:08

2

It probably is! Because middle age and old men drive 911s, young men drive WRXs

jkm7680 > Manuél Ferrari 03/01/2015 at 20:14

1

Haha and that's completely true. Plus WRXs get crashed a whole lot more.

Manuél Ferrari > jkm7680 03/01/2015 at 20:21

2

Yes! WRXs are probably one of the most commonly crashed cars cause young kids increase the BOOST and go too fast

jkm7680 > Manuél Ferrari 03/01/2015 at 20:23

1

Ticketed also.

That's the best part about building up an Avant. So that way, the insurance is still for a 190 hp Wagon, while it makes a fair amount more than that, into S4 territory.

Manuél Ferrari > jkm7680 03/01/2015 at 20:52

2

Haha that's true! They don't know your sleeper is fast

jkm7680 > Manuél Ferrari 03/01/2015 at 20:54

1

Haha, I'm guessing it would be even cheaper than my current A4 since the Avant would be a wagon duhhhhhh. It was a bitch enough finding a good condition sedan, so I have no idea how I'm going to find an Avant with -100k on it.

Manuél Ferrari > jkm7680 03/02/2015 at 00:24

2

oh yeah that's the hard part! finding one with less than 100K is gonna be pretty tough. people like these cars so they drive them!

jkm7680 > Manuél Ferrari 03/02/2015 at 08:21

1

That's true, haha.

I've found some with insane mileage. Like I found one with 350k a few days ago.

Manuél Ferrari > jkm7680 03/02/2015 at 15:10

2

It's SO hard to find older Audis and BMWs that are low mileage.

Mercs are easier cause little old ladies buy them and only use them to go to the grocery store.

jkm7680 > Manuél Ferrari 03/02/2015 at 15:28

1

There's a few out there, but usually are automatic and fwd. Very occasionally, one will come up though. It's either that, or one with recent major services done to it.

Manuél Ferrari > jkm7680 03/04/2015 at 21:24

2

did you find one yet?

jkm7680 > Manuél Ferrari 03/04/2015 at 21:37

0

Nope, not a single one worth my time. Low mileage 1.8t's I've seen a few times, but never a 2.8 Avant with manual and a desirable interior color.

Manuél Ferrari > jkm7680 03/04/2015 at 22:22

noooo!

you must find!

Sad, but true. I've debated a swap, but I'd rather keep the general reliability. PES S/C units are known for not really affecting the original reliability at all, so that's good for my purposes.

Manuél Ferrari > jkm7680 03/05/2015 at 01:57

good call

you will find one

keep looking!
