CCHAN

Has your GTV-6 been smogged yet? Or have you decided to register her in some other fashion?

Everybody is curious to know the smog results, I'm sure.....

Thanks.

Net result is forced obsolescense.....of course, what the bunny huggers really want, is for everyone to return to a pre-industrial society....horses and buggys.

I really recommend sifting through the suspension section or use the search function - this topic has been done to death here and you are bound to find some great info (as I did). This is my own personal observation after posting here and elsewhere (bb) for the past 8 months or so. This is a hardcor...

Brook, great stuff!

What year (range) Maserati biturbo are we talking about?

There are 2 on ebay, but they appear to have smaller motors.

A properly tuned L-Jet Alfa requires that you leave the pedal alone during starting or push it to the floor if the engine is flooded. I can confirm this with my own little ancedote. My GTV-6 was running perfectly (and still is) when I found myself at 7,000 feet in New Mexico on a very cold, clear, ...

Interesting, that's a bizarre statistic, thanks. Well, Grant, this is better answered by folks with a higher degree of understanding of the phenomena, however as I experience it, bumpsteer is the act of being steered by a bump :lol: The suspension is so stiff that when you hit a bump or bumps, depen...

Could someone please explain the following measurements, what the real world meaning is of a coast down? Strictly curiousity, the graph is from a Callaway GTV-6 brochure; I've never heard of this. Thanks. COAST-DOWN MEASUREMENTS: Road horsepower @ 30 mph .....................................5 hp ......
