I think I know the car, is it the bionic blue built by bruce Heinrich. If it is it has made over 500rwks on e85. This thing is a weapon and has been built to such a standard that puts ours to shame. Good price aswell with the amount of money spent. As some have said detune and enjoy, you have the goods on it to turn the wick up later.

Are you really going to listen to internet advice on whether or not you should purchase? Doubtful...

Just do what you think, but if you end up buying it, don't put others lives (passengers &/or pedestrians) at risk by doing stupid sh*t in an uncontrolled environment. The track is the best place for using a 450rwkw car.

Also, maintenance costs are high on any performance car. If a proactive maintenance approach isn't taken, expect a lot of money to go towards repairs.

Have fun :spoton:

I was 18 3 years ago...now 21 and going to be paying cash for my car( or for the most part)...

and yes it is that bionic blue one on car sales...

like I said in my first post...I dont really want/require so much power out of a car...but at the same time I cannot justify spending more money on a car to make it go fast+the missus would ring my ass. I want to buy everything already done to it to save cash.

and getting one of these things sent over from interstate means going through regency and im assuming if something has over 300kw that's its gonna have to be altered to get it through. So having something like this appear in SA is a angel from heaven!

Detuning it is definetly an idea...even permanently detuning it!

like others have said buy it and detune it, push the power up more as you get use 2 it. 360rwkw'ish is good on the street as long as you got some decent tires, mine use 2 grip all of 2nd gear once the tires had some heat in them.

This will be a high maintance machine, and insurance for this vehicle will be impossible at your age, and experience. 450 rwkw at best is very difficult to control. My concerns are for yours and others personal safety. Mate buy a car that your comfortable with to start off with. 450 RWKW's is a power level that ttakes years of skill to master, and control, the last thing that any of us want is to see you end up as a statistic. Further, I feel that as a forum member it is my duty to highlight that this percentage wise is a bad move, both for you and the forum as a whole. The last thing we need is someone wrapping their car around a pole an then the authorities targeting XR6 Turbos. Please see sense, and how inexperience is an issue. Peter Brock was one of the best and still lived a short life, Cheers

It sounds like a bargain, do it! Get it detuned too as low as you can with that gear and get use to it first imo, 450 would be a waste on the street anyway especially for a daily.
