I agree. This is the car that put Brian out of business. I remember him saying that he should stop waiting for custom carbon bits to arrive and just go racing. It is a true pro build. Top dollar. but now old school. That was 12 years ago. It's a time warp piece as it is "as new".
Wish I had it.

Imagine all the lap records you'd set with this beast running in local NASA events
50k buys a lot of race car especially in todays market.
996 GT3 race cars are selling for 60k and less............ BRUTAL market. http://www.rennlist.com/ads/

This is by far the best value I've seen on an FD track car

The history equation is hard to value. If you wanted to go vintage racing with an FD there aren't many options. That being said, if I had 50k to spend on a race car I'd find another 15k and pick up the GT3 or RX8.
So.......what is the M2 car worth? It never raced in it's current form. Has no championships in its history. No spares. etc. Who drove it before it's rebuild, any names?

Yea
It's also hard to tell how developed it is. I looked up times for it and except for the Thunderhill in reverse time not are all that fast. A season or two of racing would help their cause to some extent, but the car is 18 years old at this point.
I would think $35K is closer to what it's worth. Unfortunately they probably have 90K into it. I've found cars like this are generally worth what you can part it out for -$5K. I know that's where I would have to value mine at, not that I'm selling.

Fritz and I have both been dancing around with buying the killer bee on ebay for some time, Fritz more so than me as of recent. I think we are both up to our ears in cars right now though. Epperly's car is basically a well sorted track car and prob. has been since the mid to late 90's. Alot of nice parts that were only made in small quantities for an FD track generation of yesteryear that is mostly now extinct. As far as I can tell, it only needs a tune for the new engine. It would cost alot more to replicate that thing. If anyone is looking to get a track car, this is prob. the one to get.

If it has a log book it will be legal. If not and it's 1.5" x .120 wall it would be legal in SCCA up to 2699 lbs with driver. At 2505 I'm sure there is still a little weight that could be removed if needed.
