Haha.
Certainly tongue-in-cheek, I'd say.

Not a half-bad car, huge rear wing aside.

The pedals add torque

Is that burnout claim supposed to help sell the car?

There's a difference between pumping up the ad, and sounding like a douche. This guy unfortunately chose door #2. Not a bad car though. Why anyone would drive a newly finished project 500 km then sell it is beyond me.

Fresh 350 Chev rated over 400 H.P.
Rated? Which means he guesstimates it's at 400 hp?

^If you buy a crate engine, it comes with a BHP rating, which would have been derived from running that type on an engine dyno.

Doesn't look like a crate engine to me... maybe I'm special.

"The drivetrain weighs more than the car!!!"

Isn't that a clue then that the drivetrain is wrong for the car?

Also doesn't that mean that he car now weighs like 3200+ LBs? Figure a 1st gen without the Mazda drivetrain is about 1600 LBs (give or take...). So the new drivetrain must weigh more then the car, so more then 1600 LBs...WTF?
