Maybe drop that 8 and put a 4 in its place... then it might be a little more reasonable.

and I thought Supra guys were the only dreamers who thought modifying their cars would defy the laws of THE UNIVERSE that says (other than the original RR Silver Phantom) every car DEPRECIATES in value the minute you take the car off the lot.
Hey, anyone want to buy a Lexus IS300 for $60,000? It's been driven, so it's worth more than the MSRP.

Has it crossed anyone'e mind that it might be his wife forcing him to sell and that he is not really trying too hard. Besides, how many GS do you see running around with 750HP? I don't know how much it would cost to reproduce such a car but I KNOW it has to be up there. I know I have spent tons of cash in the process of making mine faster and I am nowhere near 750HP yet. Still, my wife thinks that my car is way too fast and that I should sell it. So don't be surprised to see my car up for sale soon at a price that would allow me to keep it while saying to the wife: See I honey, I tried!

If I recall correctly, this GS with the full 2JZ swap that SP Engineering built sold for something like $50k. Also, I cant seem to find it now, didnt it push somewhere in the 600-700 hp range???

For starters, the car does not put out those HP numbers......I know that for a fact....or at least it didnt when it left SRT. I would have to see the dyno to believe that number.
Secondly, if he managed to get anywhere near 85k, my car will be up for sale as soon as I get it back.
Lastly, why is everyone getting all bent out of shape on what he's asking? Is it high, yes......but who cares, its his car, his sale price.
