Yeah to have $80k spent on it sounds redicleous but I can personally see how its been spent. To make these things go relitavly quick isnt hard but to turn them into a genuine supercar like I suspect this would almost belike costs the money. Like stated earlier this was setup for the track where having 450 -500 would be useless almost dangereous. If they wanted to get bulk hp out of this car & reliably nothing a big hairdryer & bigger exhaust wouldnt fix. The price would be minor in the grand scheme of whats already been spent. A good buy for $35k I think. not the best but has to be up there somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was with the 4" exhaust Nizpro is developing plus around 22psi. The current tune is more than enough in my opinion for this vehicle. I could easily push this vehicle to over 400rwkw but I'd rather have reliability day in day out. This vehicle is designed to produce this power all day every day.It will be off the road for a little while until I get everything sorted with it, then it will be taken out and about.

A lot of people on here don't appreciate the amount of work and money spent in to that car. Many only look at the power output or 1/4 time when deciding if car is good or not. This car was clearly built to be more than a drag car.80k is A LOT but when you think about it in terms of trial and error it's easy to see that much money could have been spent. And again you're paying low 30s so a great car for the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason I bought this car is that everything is done to make it a 'complete package' ie everything that you would want the car to have (in my opinion) is already done. When you consider this car took over 10 months to put together and when you look through the parts this vehicle has you can see where $80k has gone. This car will be used first and foremost as a street vehicle, and will only ever run the current 365rwkw tune accordingly. However, later on down the track I may decide to put on a bigger exhaust, pump up the boost and see what she can make. This tune however would only ever be used in dyno competitions, with the street tune taken back to around 360rwkw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be staying as is for quite a while since I'm so happy with it. Hopefully I may have it at the dyno competition tomorrow, but no promises.CheersHowsee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
