Hmmm... An N/A racecar. Doesn't say JACK about crazy porting/engine mods... Seems like it'd be worth closer to $4k to the right buyer... Aside from the roll-cage, there doesn't seem anything else on that car that really sets it apart. Don't know how special the tranny is, but whatever.

It's a nice N/A, can easily become streetable but there is no mention of a title which maybe a problem. aside from the interior gutted with a nice cage, header, fuel cell,and different trans, I myself would consider it fairly stock.

Well,

It has an incredibly nice roll cage. I estimate it cost ~$1500 most likely more
A 4.88 Limeted slip Diff. ~$800
Full suspension + Camber plates $2,000 - $3000
2 Sets of wheels with Race Tires $1200
Fuel Cell ~$1000
Racing Seat $400 - $800
Looks like it has a 3 Core Radiator ~$400
Since it is an ITS (Improved Touring) then it will not have any internal engine work done. If it does then it is not legal.

It also comes with the Trailer.

So, there are about $6000 worth of parts on the car. Figure about $2000 for the actual car and $1500 for the trailer and I say he is in the ball park with his price. If it was a proven winner then the price would be alot more.

At Hallet I was only few seconds slower (~3) with my 150HP RX-7 on street tires than I was with my 270HP 944 Turbo with the S Suspension and Race Tires.

9500 is way too much for that car......he wont get half the money back he has put into that car, its just one of those things we as fc owners have come to grips w/...... if your price assumptions are right (and $1k for a fuel cell is a little rediculous)..then he is trying to get evry penny back from his investment! nice car, but not 9.5k nice

He said the trailer was available seperately. Not a good deal. You can find plenty of similiarly prepped cars for much less. He's dreaming, or he doesn't really want to sell it and is just mad at it or the wife's mad at him over the cost of it.
