They are not for the weak hearted when it comes to upkeep, there is 2 of everything on a 850 (2 distributer, 2 coils, 2 batteries, etc.)

And, humorously, I see that Mr. "I'm pretty sure I can handle anything up to 500 HP" is willing to buy it!
Just kidding MTPower3, but that reply to your post with the picture of the AUDI, Viper, etc., had me laughing out loud for the last few days, along with all the other slams about your ability to manage 500 ponies. Personally, once I settled down, I was thinking more about the number of cars that are in both sub-sets you require...budget and HP (assuming, for sake of enjoyment, that you're holding out for 400-500 HP. FYI, this 850 isn't even enough power for you. In all seriousness, though, the new 850 owner makes a rather important point about upkeep on an 850...it doesn't get much more expensive than that.
SupremeB: I have always loved that car. As I mentioned in an earlier reply to MTPower3, I owned several Supras in the late 80s and early 90s. I always thought the 8s looked a lot like my '88 Supra but dismissed my own thought that they had a very similar roof line and also front profile...until I heard a couple other people vollunteer same. Welcome. |
