guys I'm not trying to hate here, I just think this is something people should know about and be wary of.
(cars with) Marelli ignition have been plagued with problems caused by cap/rotor failures which result in shutting down one bank while the ECU continues to allow fuel to be poured in, eventually reaching the hot CAT and igniting.

Besides I think you would have more to worry about than simple suffocation. I would worry more about the "permanent tan" aspect of being burned up....

I have a 355 and have seen the pictures of 355s on fire. Most are the cat issue and not necessarily a wreck issue. Not good either way, but it seems most people have plenty of time to get out alive when it is the cat issue.
