Check out this S5 race car

Okay, I started a thread with a link to an S5 race car I found on a local auction site because I thought you guys would like to see it, but it got moved to the For Sale section. So here's the info and photos but this NOT a For Sale post! It's for entertainment purposes only. I can't answer any questions about it because I know nothing more than what was in the ad, and I've copied it all here. Enjoy.

That is ******* beautiful.
I cant really imagine that any sanctioning body would allow drysump-tank inside the cabin.

Maybe a pusher fan in-front of the rad, but I love that shroud setup with the hood.

I guess I could get it for a daily driver

My car: sorry for those of you tired of looking at it, but there are some updates, and a detail of the fuel delivery system.

Carl Byck. Beautiful car. I've seen a few 2nd gens with that front end and they havn't been able to pull it off as well as you man. Amazing looking car with amazing #'s your pulling out of it. I can only wish my 2nd gen will end up looking/performing as good as yours. Quick question for ya, how streetable is your car and why?

My car is currently track only due to my Slicks. The car would be perfectly streetable on smooth pavement, just need another set of wheels, and tires, 17x12/18x10. Carl

It's OK. Not really my style. I hate the wheels. Wide Body looks nice. Hood vent is... OK, but not my favorite. I'd enjoy a spin in it but I wouldn't buy it, I don't think. Still, pretty nice.

Thats awesome Carl, I plan on street driving 400+ until I get another car and have it track dedicated (which will be in a long long time). Oh ya, the featured car is nice looking.

It looks like it has the RE 11,000rpm tach in it. That car is too beautiful to go out and race. Only $28k, **** I'll take two

Yea, that car is still selling. I saw it at the auto salon earlier this year, and that car is sex on wheels. It's SOOOO nice up close! Did you go to the autosalon Jason? I'd love to hear that car running
