There is red and tan 2005 modena spyder with a 6 speed and 6000 miles. Has the shields and grill in mint condition. They are asking 215,000. I think that is way over priced what do you guys think it should be? Thanks

PMing you...

 

Arnie,

It's the time of year. Spiders are in demand, and that might be a bit pricey.

Also, it's the end of the 360 spiders, and the dealer is probably playing on that fact as well.

There's no such thing as a "Modena Spyder"

I didn't even notice that.

 

Arnie that seems way to much for a 360 Spyder . That is F430 money..

I did see that, too, but I did remember that when the spider first came out it was sometimes referred to as the Modena spider.

What size are your rear tires?

 

I run 305/30/19 on the rear

Here's something to consider.

Michelin makes the Goodyear tire for the Corvette Z06=325/30-19.

End of this Sept Michelin is introducing that tire size in the Cup series. It's a dead-on replacement in all respects for the 275/40-18 OEM size 360 tires.

I am then going to replace my rims with 12" rears and 9" fronts and then go to the 245/35-19 for the fronts as well so that I'll have PS2 Cups all around.

Would love to go with the Novitec rims but I refuse to get caught in the P Zero impossible availability issues! Too dangerous if one loses a tire and can't get a replacement. I had a quote of $900 each for the 355/25-19 rears! Ridiculous.

So this new Michelin Cup offers a great alternative.

Sorry did not mean to hijack the thread!

 

Check the weight on the 325's ... not sure what they are, but it could be overkill for a 360, afterall, the Stradale runs on 285's and handles extremly well. The Novitec setup is just too damn heavy, but if styling is a priority, they are certainly one way to go ... they are sharp. The 245's on 9's up front could pose a clearance problem ... you will need to roll the fenders completly flat. I have minor issues with 235's on 8.5's.

Thats way too much for a 360 it must be a 430 at that price. You should be able to find a newer 360 spyder for around 170k or so.

 

I will find out about the 325 tire weight. Good point. It is a direct OEM replacement which I find interesting.

Maybe I'll stick with 235's on the front. I have 225's now on 8" rims but I intend to change the rims.

I have heard that the Novitec's are quite heavy.
