Is this for real?

I didn't think they were worth that much? I'm going to swap mine just to get rich on ebay if that's the case. It still has 5 days left too.

Yeah, definitley not worth that much. Other than the poor fitting front bumper, it looks like a very nice car with oogles of power and this torque thing I have been hearing about.

I wonder how the rear end is holding up with 586 ft-lb of torque. lol

Yeah and the claimed HP isnt adding up with his claimed trap speed in the quarter. Im almost trapping 118 and I know alot of other on here are and are only around the 320-350 HP range.

But hey if ppl are stupid enough to pay it, you cant blame the guy.

I suspect that auction's been tampered with, notice the two bidders that have brought it that high have 0 feedback? The seller might have created fake IDs to jack up the bid or he's got a couple scammers going after him.

When I saw that price I thought it had to have an ls7 in it. Whoever buys that without looking into it to much is going to be very dissapointed when they find out how much they normally go for.

It's BS for sure. Nobody in there right mind would pay that much for this car. More than likely he's bumping up the price himself.

I just reported it. They call it 'shill bidding'. I've never heard of the term before.

making the price go up by callin' up your friends to bid on it. Or, making the price go as high as possible JUST before the last REAL buyer's highest price.
