Dam this winter came early! And I have no where to store my 850, so I guess we'll see if we can find it a better home.

I bought my dream car two years ago from the Copart auction in Los Angeles. I live in Green Bay, so it was just based on pictures and no description. It was a 'Rebuilt Salvage' Car originally from Alabama. Apparently California doesn't recognize other states 'Rebuilt Status' so it came to me with a Salvage title and I had to have it Wisconsin Inspected, which we did no problem.
So currently it is licensed as rebuilt salvage. Check your states laws, but CA would require their own inspection, again...

Currently it has a Check Engine light that comes and goes and a clutch that will need replacing soon.
The clutch releases with the pedal all the way 'up' and if it was a mechanical linkage I would adjust it a little looser, but alas it's Hydraulic and not adjustable as far as I can tell.
If you try for a 'quarter mile blast' sometimes it'll slip when you hit 3rd, other times it'll hold tight and you can run it up over 100 MPH no problem.
Drive it like an adult and I wouldn't be afraid to drive it to Texas tomorrow, but it will need a clutch soon.
My plans are to put a Clutch in and a set of Syncros in the trans (2nd gear isn't as smooth as it could be), but that won't be happening before spring for me.

Anyways to sum it up, there are nicer examples out there, and plenty of 850's with Automatics.
If you want a 6 Speed car (They always say less than 10% came manual, so about 300 of them), but don't want to spend 10K or better this might be for you.

I'm tore up about selling it, took me forever to get it, but before I park it for the long Wisconsin winter I thought I'd try and find it a better home...
Email me for my reserve

My zip code is 54227 if you need to figure shipping, obviously your responsibility.
I can be available almost anytime to meet your shipper, or show you the car if you want to come see it before the auction ends
ALso if you want to investigate flights, Green Bay is closest, Milwaukee is more popular and not too far, arrangements COULD be made to pick someone up.

and finally, I do have a Wisconsin Dealers License, but I'm not what you would expect for a car dealer, no colored flags flying, no sales people, no financing. I just have a bad car habit, I maybe sell 7-10 cars a year to Friends and Family, mostly I use the license for the dealer tags, and the ability to slap a plate on whatever I want to drive!
What that really means to you is if you are a WI resident I have to charge you sales tax and registration fees. If you are from out of state I can hand you the title (signed and filled out in your name) and you are responsible for fees at home.
Thanks for looking,
Matt

EVO "2012 Car of the Year: The Track Battles" is a sports car salmagundi

Sun, 25 Nov 2012

EVO has come out with another gotta-watch-it video, throwing its 2012 Car of the Year contestants around the UK's 1.5-mile Blyton Park track. It's actually a 15-minute teaser for the full-length DVD detailing the magazine's Car of the Year selection, but the tease is worth every penny free second.
Tiff Needell and sports car racer Richard Meaden handle the wheel duties, the two driving five pairs of sports cars: Lotus Exige S vs. Porsche Boxster S, Morgan Three-Wheeler vs. Toyota GT86, BMW M135i vs. Porsche 911, Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Black Series vs. Alpina B3 GT3, the marquee event pits the McLaren MP4-12C vs. the Pagani Huayra. After a head-to-head lap with commentary during drifts, Meaden takes each car out to set a representative lap time.
You'll find the verdicts, lots of tire smoke, and lines like "Anything you can do sideways I can do sideways" in the video below.

2013 Nissan GT-R and 2013 Alpina B6 mix it up on track and street

Fri, 24 May 2013


Here we have Autocar making an unforeseen comparison: the Nissan GT-R against the Alpina B6 at Brands Hatch and on public roads. Steve Sutcliffe clobbers the circuit in the 3,828-pound, all-wheel-drive sports car, then sees how well the 4,114-pound, rear-wheel drive grand tourer does against it.
Sutcliffe says there are quite a few similarities between the two cars, but that's really only on the spec sheet. The Nissan's got two turbos attached to its 3.8-liter V6, 542 horsepower and 465 pound-feet of torque. The Alpina's got two turbos attached to its 4.4-liter V8, 532 hp and 528 lb-ft. But one's brief is to be a monster on the track, the other on the boulevard, and if there's anything the video demonstrates, it's each car's focus.

2014 BMW 4 Series Convertible is easy, breezy, beautiful

Wed, 20 Nov 2013

BMW debuted its 2014 4 Series Convertible today at the LA Auto Show, and the sporting two-door will feature a folding hardtop - like the convertible 3 Series before it - and be offered in 428i and 435i guises.
The 428i Convertible is equipped with BMW's 2.0-liter turbocharged inline four-cylinder engine, which pumps out 240 horsepower and 255 pound-feet of torque - good for sprinting from 0-60 miles per hour in 6.2 seconds. The 435i Convertible gets the 3.0-liter turbocharged inline six-cylinder engine, which steps up output to 300 hp and 300 lb-ft of torque. The topless 435i drops the 0-60-mph time to 5.5 seconds. Both cars come standard with an eight-speed automatic transmission, and BMW says that a manual transmission will not be offered on 4 Series Convertibles in the US market.
The 4 Series Convertible will be offered in Sport Line, Luxury Line and M Sport trims. Pricing starts at $48,750 for the 428i Convertible and $54,900 for the 435i. Head on below to peruse the (long) press release for details.
