i know those numbers are possible with that turbo on that motor... but lack of dyno sheet is kinda sceptical

I may have to call BS without seeing a dyno sheet...IN PERSON. I'm sure those numbers are possible, I don't think a T4 is capable of supporting that kind of power. Even with the N2O (and c'mon....4 bottles? Is that really necessary?) I'd be suprised if he hit over 700hp without blowing the motor to shit. Plus the scissor doors, forward opening front end, and rear wing are just ghey. I'll give him $10K.

if anything, i bet he pulled one run with those numbers, kissed his ass because the motor didnt shatter and turn the boost back down to a normal level. it cant do that daily, i know that for sure

I also noticed he doesn't make any sort of reference to a beefed up driveline like stronger clutch, transmission, half-shafts, etc. My guess is one good run at the track with the power he has listed would leave that piece of shit in about 40 different pieces. Plus I don't want to buy anything from an "enthusiast" who can't spell the word "chrome" properly (he lists it as "crome").

i dont think i would pay 50k for it. i pretty sure it didnt take 50k to make that car. maybe 29-35k.

Actually I wouldn't be at all suprised if it took around 50K or more. That paint job alone is probably between 4K-6K, the wide body conversion another few thousand, sissor doors can run over $10K on some cars, plus all the custom interior work and engine work. I don't think it's cheap to stick a 17" LCD monitor inside your car. I'd say the interior alone is around $10K or more with all the custom work (that's man hours included).

i can't trust somebody who doesn't know what the hell they have on the car. they misspelled a lot of things


PAINT: DUPONT CROME ILLUSIONS

- Ferrai Valves

- crower springs & retianers

- Rev Heart manifold

- Tein race coilovers (pellow mounts)

( edfc capable )

- AC autotach strut bars

- Fuel pressure regulator ( Turbo X's )

- Steel branded brakes lines everywhere
:rolleyes:
even in the trunk?

sorry maybe i'm just picky. plus like what was said earlier, no drive train upgrades...but at least it has a type-s bov.
with that setup you'd need the nos to keep from stalling when you try and go from a dead stop, and it'd probably be 5500rpms before you get the turbo spooled.

it'd be a sick setup on a drag car though.

That car is overdone.... The HP figures dont count to me neither. That POS deltagate will not hold over 700HP without boostcreep. I'm with GT40, I wouldnt be suprised it took him 50k or over to get it the way it is now...

Another good point. I started off with a T-60 on my first 331 and it spooled just right (starting to kick in around 2300rpms or so). I find it hard to believe it would spool properly (especially up to over 20psi) on a car with half the motor. Even if it did that BOV would never hold it and, again ,even if it could the block would probably shear right in half while I laughed my ass off at the dumbass.
