I'd be really suspicious on a sale listing that does not go into detail on how they got 500+ hp.

The runs stock FD wheels, which do not have enough rubber to control that kinda power.

To me, unless the seller shows proof of the mods, the ad is BS...

Joplin is Missouri, but thats not a Missouri plate. Looks kind of like Arkansas to me, but I cant recall how far south Joplin is...

Tony's right on this one. Joplin is in SW MO farther south than Springfield. AK plates for sure, 417 number would be Joplin Area Code as well.

Then why so cheap? If it's putting down 550+ and running 10s.

Maybe it's blown. That sounds real cheap. I wonder what mods are done to the car.

I know the guys dad. He was a mazda engineer for 25 or so years and owns a nice shop doing anything from rebuilders to simple wiring, best in the buisniness in my opinion. He used to race for mazda in scca with his brother back in the mid-80's. I bought my 83 pacifica widebody from him. Real trustworthy and that one in particular is very nice and ungodly fast.
