Guys, if you testdrive it, get some pictures and videos! I thought about to maybe buy it but decided not to do cause of the same things 3x00-Modified said. It even getting more and more harder to get good or new parts for even a normal beretta here and even GTZ's gettin pretty rare at oversea's...
But this thing is interesting as hell... I would like to know if its really 385hp. I like how the feretta looks some more than this one but the engine and allwheeldrive is fascinating me :D

I don't know about 385hp... I'm not sure how strong those 6000 AWD setups were, nevermind a 3.1L block. I'm also not positive on if they used forged internals in this motor.

If you didn't meet the reserve then there is no winning bid...

I just sent him a message asking if it was ok for me and Brendan to take a ride over there and check this thing out... I hope to do that Thursday, but we'll see what he says and if this thing sells or not.

i don't know about 385hp but with twin turbo's it better have a decent amount of power.

it would be interesting to see though. don't know what it is but i can't shake these cars, still wanna get another one some day.

about the VIN number there is one listed in the ad and if the number is legit for the car i don't see why you couldn't title for a limited use type of thing.

sent him a message too but yours was probably better. if he says ok let me know where you want to meet up.

I would guess that the 385hp is fairly accurate. If I'm not mistaken, I believe that Tim@Mantapart had a hand in working on this car back in the day. I seem to recall him telling a story about him and some other developers driving the car around Detroit and annihilating then-new Corvettes and such from stoplights. Sounds like a hoot.

yeah doesn't really work that way with this one. :lol:

looks like it has 6000 running gear. sounded pretty decent when he started it up.

Too many axles to fix when it breaks.
I'll keep my 3 cars with front wheel drive.
