    Well it's a no reserve auction. Could go up considerably. Doubt it though.

    I would’ve thought the sub frame connectors would have rusted out before the frame ?

    Its possible, but I am sure it was all sprayed over. The price alone for that vehicle, (even if it were stock) and with the mods screams red flags. Here are some others for sale...

    Good call, HYSA until the PERFECT rig comes along, or 6mo / 1yr CD if you want to postpone for a definite amount of time.

    I am a big proponent of not compromising, but am also of going above budget for the right rig as well. That extra couple grand spent is the best money you can spend if it gets your what you want, and equally as important, gets you more time with it.

    And since we are talking vehicles, I am not looking at retirement vehicle for me (fall 2033), I am looking at celebratory “end of child support / ex-wife going away” vehicle in summer of 2026.

    Current candidates are finding low mileage Ram TRX, Ram RHO (hopefully hybrid by then), Raptor R, Escalade V, Audi SQ8 / RSQ8 with Stage 1 APR tune………. or a Supercub.

    This is such a beautiful car. I hope the seller comes back to you with a counter offer. Maybe after it sits for a few weeks he will.

    Whatever this forum told me to do
    Is this what folks say that get whooped by a Tesla?

    we live in a golden age of performance. We have passenger cars that can do 9.3 in the quarter

    Not at all. It's like comparing a jet engine plane to a prop job. It's not a surprise that a jet is faster, but it doesn't diminish the P-51 Mustang just because something else is faster.

    Take your tesla to the salt flats and race a jet car that pushes the sound barrier. Do you feel bad that you lost? No. Why not? Because it's foolish to compare them. Nobody is denying the speed and torque of an EV, and people that don't want them aren't butt hurt. They simply don't care.


    First guy is the Tesla guy and the second is the ICE guy.

    I concur. If we went by that we'd all have to buy electric dumpsters and rivians.

    Other car in question.

    wheels would have to go and the rear wing would need to go to factory style.

    You'd buy the burnt orange? Or is that a trick of the camera and it's not actually burnt?

    He used all factory ZR1 parts. The wing, who knows. It will be gone anyway. Use it for target practice.
