8 grand.
The alfa is a very rare/cool car that is arguably the most "enthusiast" oriented sedan money can buy at the moment. Modding a malibu doesn't come close... you can do that when you're sick of life and are trying to impress your fellow sideshow enthusiasts.
Seems like he has the money so why not?

I agree with you I'm just presenting a middle ground of change. The manual SS is a really nice car though, you're giving up something pretty cool. While your tuner bro scenario is vintage you, and I'm glad you're back, there are plenty of supercharger setups for the LS3 that still make considerable power while leaving some safety net.max225 wrote: ↑Wed May 16, 2018 2:02 pmwith this modding bs.

Just wanted to point out that the possibility of an earlier than expected need to replace the Shamrock is a far more than zero possibility that he should keep in the back of his head.

It'll be fine for a couple years. He's got plenty of time before the next round.

I think i brought those up during his initial search... Gonna be a "no from him dawg"... can't really cross shop a Canadian built S class from 2005 with an Italian super sedan.
