Miami is full of very part time residents, esp the people that live in condos. They are almost always S American and only briefly return to the states for some R & R.

Of course Tony Kaanan and JPM live right off Brickell Ave hmm

The car is an 02. It was actually one of the first Murcielago's to get wrapped around a tree/telephone pole. The repair bill was about $95k. The scratches in the pictures are from shingles during the hurricane 2yrs ago. The car is not for sale and like some of you figured the guy really doesn't care. Were the car on the market, I dont think anyone would really want it after the Carfax was pulled. It is kind of sad to see it sitting though. Rebuilt or not its still a Murcie going down the road.

Bad shape or not, I would love to have this car. I would clean it right up and try to get people to repair it the right way. If the engine is in bad shape, I would rebuild the engine by adding some lower compression pistons, attach two turbo manifolds with a couple of Garrett GT35Rs or something or another turbos, remap the fuel and call it a day. I would have one of the fastest Lambos around.

You haven't done much research on the cost of lambo parts and what not have ya.

btw you would be retarded to put a pair of GT35's on that engine, WAY too small.

Not true, although undesireable, it would work, just laggy. Its all about the design of the manifolds and tuning. And depends on the a/r of the turbo.

A pair of GT35rs would work just fine. It would have instaspool characteristics and a large top end.

Laggy, are you kidding me? GT35's would hit way too hard IMO and choke it off on the top end.

6.2L turning 8000rpm needs WAY more than some puny T3 GT35. You realize that this motor has the same airflow requirement as a viper 8L turning 6200. Ever drive a viper with GT35's? It's obnoxious.

T4 67GTQ is the smallest I would go, and I think a pair of 76GTS would be absolutely amazing on the top end. Last thing you want is that T3 hot side choking it off and having the torque curve puke all over it's self.

GT35's might be considered 'big' on a 3.6L but they are pea shooters on a motor of this size.

I agree with you, I looked into it more. My experience extends to *< 3.8L

Maybe GT42Rs on each side? One huge snail for each bank of cylinders would be nice! HAHAHA! GT42s are freakin huge, maybe that would be good to have one on each side of the engine. Would have to make way for two of those turbos in the engine bay.

The 76GTS is only slightly smaller than GT42, which is about the proper size for a motor flowing that kind of air.

No it wouldn't be hard to package at all... I've looked at a few of them and know exactly how to do it. Where to hide the intercoolers and still get killer airflow might take some work, but it wouldn't be bad.

I'm thinking for around $80k (planning for a full motec pcm and a few custom engine parts) you could have a 1k wheel hp murci.

I have seen lots of car like that. People who are multi millionaires and own properties all over the place. In my old building in Paris , our upstairs neighbours were a very very wealthy brazilian family that had bought back then a Countach 5000S for their 19 yo son who never came to Paris..so the car was sitting there , unused for years before they sold it.
