IM gonna have to be honest with you on this one, if youre worried about gas mileage this really isnt the car for you. I dont know what the est mpg is, but it cant be good compared to your other choices.

I say M5, but thats just me!

x2, I was like, seriously, you're worried about gas mileage in a twin-turbo'd, high horse-powered luxury super car?! You can just expect to be less than 15mpg easily. Jeff, I soooo want to add your car to my collection. You were one of my inspirations to boost by GS3, even though yours is a GS4 TT. Well, we'll see what happens, it may yet come to fruition.

This car is sick, If I could sell both the GS430 and the SC1j I would get this in a minute. This car is awesome. Last I saw it when you first got it out the shop. This car is for those who appreciate good craftmanship and rare vehicles. Not fot the timid. GLWS.

my thoughts exactly....i try my hardest to just blow off the rediculous questions, but damn man!

I have always had high HP rediculous builds, so I guess I know what to expect, as well as the money and time that goes into it. I guess not everyone understands the game like we do!

thanks for all of the compliments fellas, the car is truly a one of a kind beast with alot of blood sweat and tears into it.

****UPDATE****12/14/11

I will also entertain trades of equal value......specifically an LS430, SC430, or full size SUV of equal mileage and value......must be real clean. Im not limiting it to these vehicles, thats just what I would prefer to get into

obviously I would prefer cash....but im opening up my options to trades as well

The V160 transmission alone is worth like $3,000+..
And that doesn't include the clutch and pressure plates bell housing, or the cost of making it work for the GS....

I want a V160 for my Supra!
Good luck with sale man!

no ****, im an easy 10 grand into the 6 speed set up, ecspecially with the trial and error on the clutch set up.

I could easily part the car out and make more money than selling it, its jut a PITA to do, plus I would hate to see all of my blood sweat and tears on this build come apart. The car is perfectly set up now.
