Yeah, a lot of $$$ but how much is a used stock GS with mileage like that and condition....$15K. So this guy is pretty much asking $40K for the fully custom engine, transmission and electrical as well as other things like the Brembo BBK (which is prob around $4K right there) and wheels/tires (another $3K - $4K). It is very expensive but your getting a GS that is still breaking in (fairly low miles) and is truly one of a kind with insane performance! I don't care how ugly the kids are...lol or the kit for that matter.lol!!! you can always change the kit out for a sick Autocouture kit or JP and totally change the look for another $3K. Not that bad of a deal IMHO considering the insanity of this cars performance and potential. I mean c'mon the six speed itself is sick and unauthodox!

lol...lol!!! naahhh I like your 335 though - eyein' them up ya know...lol! On a serious note, IF i had a daily driver right now and IF I already had the future wedding fully paid off then I might of thrown a bid on this thang. I mean heck just because it's "buy it know" for $55K doesn't mean it will go for that...you never know some1 might be able to scoup it up for $35K or so. Now that is a much better deal! Plus I only owe $6K or so on my car. If I net the current value of my car less the balance owed against the possibly buy price of $35K then in reality I am really only looking at spending $25K on this beast! but it must only be a daily driver because I couldn't deal with driving a car like this in our winters...that would be a joke! Finance major BTW so I analyize the crap out of everything involving #'s. lol

I doubt that car makes 980hp, crank or not. Seems like an HKS kit.

If this was mystic's old car, I remember he was selling a GTE-ed GS a couple years back which made something in the 5xx rwhp for like $38k.

So essentially if you had a 350 turbo which is a 3 speed and a gear vendor you get another 3 gears off the gear vendor. VERY pricey but you gotta pay to play.

I think it's a clean car and look at that engine. Many hours of fabrication under the hood. I don't really know why SP Engeering always put the twin HKS on every single car that they build. Slap a GT47-88 on that thing. Good luck with the sale.
