Default my friend's looking into buying a car...

Yea it's pretty bad ass... The most powerful (~1000 brake hp), fastest, most expensive road car($1.3 Million). Has Two 4 liter v-8 engines = 8.0 liter W-16......10 radiators and 4 turbos!!!!






















but seriously, he's looking at a 95 ex with a turbo'd gsr motor. I think he said that it has some Racing Hart C4's or something and comes with a set of steelies. The guy said he would sell it to him for $3500, but it's in pretty bad condition. Half the interior is gone, there's about four different colors of paint showing, and there's a bunch of minor repairs that need to be done. He says it runs 14's at like 8psi...

i'd pass. its obviously not mechanically sound. that car without the turbo should run 14s.

correction...that car without a completely incompetent driver and shitty tires should run better than a 14......I have seen built cars sit and spin cause the asshole behind the wheel has a big wallet but no expereince..

Though I would def. look very hard into the soundness of the motor...if all is well that is an ok price for the setup.

good point. i guess i just assume someone that would spend the money to swap and turbo a car would at least be able to pilot it into the 13s. it shouldn't be that hard, even spinning street tires. i'd still be very wary about paying the price of a GSR swap for a car with the swap and a turbo, car is obviously in shitty condition from the description. imo, its not worth the risk.

I guess I would have to ask how mechanically inclined your his friend is etc.

if he can do all the work himself to get it back into tip top condition, than I think it is a fuckin steal....but if he cant...PASS
