Nice to see you are still kicking around, Jim! Still have an RX-7 or did you get into something else?

Jim... Last I remember you were building a chevy small block and I thought you were buying a Porsche? Or, is old age playing tricks on my memory.

Poor FD. May 18th was 23 years since it last ran under it's own power.
My Trackhawk. Was ~940 horsepower (771 WHP) on 92 octane (0-60 in 2.6, 0-100 in 5.8), going to be more than that at the wheels with the new ported blower and triple pump fuel system on E85.
My S6. Getting RS7 turbos and downpipes early next month, should be around 800 horsepower with a DS1 Stage 4 tune on E85.

FrankenLT1... 396 CID with LSx firing order, custom AFR 215cc heads, Crower billet bottom end, Hogan's sheet metal intake. Made 774 horsepower naturally aspirated on B&B's engine dyno on pump gas.

And, so another fairly basic, low mile black car traded on BaT for $46,250. Nothing very special about it other than low miles.

So was there a Canada discount or not?

I'd much prefer this one over the last 2 red ones.

I don't understand the point (and to avoid confusion I'm not being sarcastic). There hasn't been much special about most of the BaT cars other than being stock and low mileage. Is it the color or base vs touring you are referring to?

However like you I might take it over the 94 VR base at 67500 because 17500 goes a long way
Again insane collector car market today.

Yes. I think so. Most of the Canadian cars seem to sell for a slight discount to US cars.
Maybe I'm missing something. I said there was nothing special about the car other than reasonably low miles. You said there have not been many special cars on BaT. Sounds like we are on the same page?
I guess my point is that discounted Canadian cars that are nothing special are able to sell for $46,250 in today's crazy market.

My my how the FD market has changed.
This time last year no one would pay $35K for my 94 MB one owner "all original" 60K mile near perfect inside & out.(pics)
And now most agree that this just posted 93 is a real deal:

Talking about FD values, good thing you weren't the dummy that traded in your FD to Cash for Clunkers a number of years back -

That car probably would be worth $10k today . I think it was an automatic FYI. They got a princely sum of $3500!

"Was originally VR but has been repainted including door jambs and engine bay as CW. The paintwork isn't great, there are a couple areas where the white is a different shade of white and a couple chips around the car. Has a small ding in passenger door"

Anyone here buy the red R1 that just sold on eBay? I was supposed to win it but got a bid error at the last minute. I spoke with owner and car seemed like a very nice example, bone stock, owned since 1994, no accidents, super clean interior, etc.:
