Greetings,
Just bought a 2002 Coupe 6 speed, recently delivered to San Francisco area. It is Rosso Bologna, tan/black, with only 3600 miles. It is a blast, and the car is essentially "stupid fast". I seem to be attracted to 2+2s, as I also own a 1963 Ferrari 250 GTE.
I will have some better pics of the new babe tomorrow, but here is a phone camera pic of the blessed event.

A few questions to the cognescenti:
1. My HVAC system displays the "low Batt" warning when I first start the car. Manual states that the system will return to normal after self diagnosis, but often this takes 5 or more miles of driving until the fan speed can be greater than 3 bars and the display turns black. It usually happens from cold. I checked for drain and battery health, no probs, so I will probably have a dealer look at it. Am I alone with this issue?
2. Since California only has 91 super, am I actually going to see decreased performance. Any chemical engineers?
3. Car was delivered without NAV CD. Can I used a generic one, can someone burn me a copy?
4. My car often dies after starting, both hot and cold. I have seen posts in the archive stating that this is fixed by the ECu update, and also that this was caused by the ECU update. Hmmm.....
5. How do I mount a plate on the front? CA gives tickets for this, so I probably need to source a bracket. Sell me yours if your state law is different?
6. I have slight cat shield rattle at idle, some sealing issues at driver's door, and I need to adjust the p brake, but otherwise, I am pretty happy. I am torn about the Tubi. I love the sound file, but I need to drive one with it to see how bad the under 3500 resonance is.
Thanks in advance
Sincerely
Luke
