Um, there is no price listed so how do you know it is "not a bad price"?

This guy had this car for sale on this forum for a while, I guess he gave up. I requested and have still never seen evidence of 400 horses.

In my opining, it looks pretty botched and I would not buy it.

If he claims 400hp, I would expect to see dyno sheets before buying, at least.

It's not a bad looking car, but I don't know about that wing. I wouldn't have cut the front bumper either. But to each their own I guess.

Sooo the key identifying factors making it a race car must be the reciprocating saw modified bumper, coffee table on the back and the big ben watch tach bolted to the dash, right??

probably the fat *** turbo sitting in his engine bay, the wire tuck, the pressure gauges, the beef *** tires in the back, the fact he took the time to put a fuel cell in it..

im not saying this car IS pushing 400 but its not unlikely. you guys gotta remember theres alot of possibilities with 13bt's all it takes is a bigger turbo, bigger injectors, bolt ons, and a management system really. it wont be the most reliable car but hey who knows, im sure if you sit in it and feel it you can tell. i would also want dyno sheets, and if he had them quarter mile times and 0-60.
