It's on EBAY HERE

All in all not bad at all. You can tell a lot of effort went into this car. It's Supercharged so I really doubt the horsepower claims though.

A different color (charcoal grey or silver), some different rims (17's on a 5 lug pattern), and a 13BT (or Cosmo) under there, and that's close to what I am trying to accomplish.

The owner sent me more pics, which weren't online too.
It has a Monster Tach hanging from the roof, around the rear view mirror, as well as some nice looking seats.

Pretty ******* sick,,huh DF ?? i've seen it already, he'll trade it for a 3rd gen. I don't see the point, he's selling it for a 'family' type ride,,for his kid. a 3rd gen has no back seats either. a lot of money in that thing !! i kinda like the targa band,,how it looks on the wide body. or maybe it's just the colour that makes it . IMO.

My question is, has he ever hit his head on the 3rd gauge getting into the car, or has a passenger ever kicked loose his MSD coils?

That's a lot of power.

I dunno - racing cage, Nitrous Oxide tank, and - video game system?? Heavy stereo?? What's with the Fast & furious accessories? Racing vehicles are supposed to be light; luxo cruisers aren't supposed to have cages (which can do more harm than good on the street).

nice car, looks a whee bit ricey though in my tastes. I nice laptop for the Ecu instead of a playstation in the glove compartment sounds more appealing. Though it would be funny to let someone play Ps2 while your going through the gears.

Disgusting. It would take a LOT to make that car respectable...but it does have potential, I guess.

i think if your going to build a v8 car , thats fine, but but a car that came with a v8!!!! there is alot of chassis flex with a v8 in a light uni-body car... I know a few mustang guys that after a while without full roll cages, and sub frame connectors there doors dont close, trunk pops open and wierd **** like that.......lots of torque = twisting metal

Apart from the pics of the 13b engine, the ROTARY ROCKET sticker plastered across the windsheild is a dead give away. . .

Pesonally - I would remove that. . .

The car is nice. A little flashy. Apart from the PS2 and ricey crap it seems to be a well built car. The hp claim is definatly questionable but producable. Unless he is running a 9inch SC or larger and about a 130 shot and an engine to support it all, its not happening.

This is car is a faint reflection of my car when completed. CP widebody, Atkins SC around 400hp, red, and sweet....and a little more tastefull
