Ya, "Hot V" is not a new term. Not a common thing but growing in different appplications, as KJ pointed out.

Growing up I loved seeing pics of those F1 and other race cars with headers in the valley. So cool.

A buddy almost made his twin turbo, 396 SBF, in his mustang reverse flow. Just to show off and trip people up at shows. He didn't do it, but totally should have. haha

[MENTION=1983]Outlaw[/MENTION] I agree. Your search skills would help tremendously. As would being able to work on the car. I think the biggest issue you would face is lack of a lift, which I am sure you have hookups for, and specialty tools. So many of these late model cars have special tools. None are cheap. I am sure finding one to borrow for a Ferrari would be really hard unless you know a mechanic that works on them.

I agree with the Vantage parts bin making it a smarter choice for a potential purchase of a car with issues. But then again, those cars might get repaired more often because it is cheaper. Then say a Ferarri that someone is even afraid to go to the dealer and see the estimate.

The only hope of a car like a Ferrari would be buying it right at the bottom of its value and hoping it’s appreciation over 3 to 5 years would offset the cost of owning it

For a mid engine thing its epic.

Not too bad, didn't know these were in that price range yet. An Elise wouldn't suck either, those can be had in the mid 20's.

You know I never paid too much attention to these before. But they've been popping up on my radar more and more lately. I didn't even know they were still making them But used ones arent that ridiculous in price, and even with the older ones I think the styling is aging well enough. And it uses a frickin CAMRY engine. You wanna talk about a motor thats dead nuts reliable and has plenty of cheap replacement parts. And who the hell knew a camry engine could sound good?? I actually think I want one.

I’ve always been a big lotus fan. I’d love to drive one of these go karts.

 

[IDAFC21]

It definitely seems like a more everyday driveable car than say an elise. And youd still get all the supercar stares for all the right reasons.

I love the GS lot at Woodward. I don't know why I'm so drawn to those but I am.

So awesome. The F10’s are also getting obtainable as fuck. Friend of a friend was selling his tastefully modified 2011 535i (wheels, KW coilovers, tint, JB4) with 90k on it for $14,000.

I could have bought one many moons ago for 32k with 2500 miles
