Not sure who owns it. I believe I have seen that car in Plano over off the tollway.. not sure though we were heading in opposite directions.

He says the lower intake has been modified. If you want his number PM me. He has given me permission to give it to whoever is interested in the car.

I dont see how he is making "400hp at the wheels" esp with a T04b. Im all game for rotary enthusiasts but, he my friend will not get any where near 15K for that car.

Hell I wouldnt even get that much, and my set up is good for near 600rwhp

That's because he isn't. It's nowhere near capable of it.

I'm not doubting it, but some dyno sheets would be interesting to see.

He's *way* over-guestimating given the particulars of the setup. I remember back 10+ years ago when FC's and FD's were in the infancy of modifications and few of them had standalones. Their setups were very similar to the bronze car here we're arguing about. They'd make mid-high 200's to the wheels even though they may've had T4's on them. This car's big missing piece is a real ECU. Stock EFI system just isn't gonna cut it. It's like trying to build a mansion ontop of a foundation of tarp -- Doesn't work. It's a time-bomb waiting to explode in terms of tunability, or lack thereof.

The car is grossly over-advertised; I'd say even falsely given what it is and what it isn't in actuality. He needs to change the ad and tell the truth about it, IMO.

it might not seem like it and i really dont know what it pushes but.....oh my lol ive driven the car before he is one of my best friends. (he does like to price things alittle high) he built the car him self (he used to work at marvel) so if youve had your car worked on by don in the past 2 years he probably did it along with don and david. the car is a beast for sure though.

A beast would be 500 HP, so let's just call it an animal.
