Awesome. Thanks! hahaha. That kit car totally looks like it'd have "made in china" stamped on the undercarriage.

Oh my God... almost a million bucks for that car? Seriously? Those bids have to be an inside job.
I bet a person could easily replicate that car for less than a quarter of that price. $150k on the car and $100k on a motor build and a huge turbo system for the car.. probably wouldn't even cost that much.

I wonder it's still on stock internals?

also, if you want a cheap way into a GT40....go check out Superformance

by cheap, I mean about 80k for a rolling chassis.

It takes a lot more than 1500 Hp to safely get a car to 252MPH
But yeah...certainly not a million bucks.
So many other cars I'd rather have for the price. Like a Lusso.

well either they gave up, or someone just bought it.

EDIT: my bad, seems the auction just ended.

Wait a year for some kids to wreck their 5.0 Mustangs and throw a Coyote in one. :naughty:

I wouldn't pay a million bucks for it, but I wouldn't pay 1.8m for a Veyron either. In any case, assuming they're the same price, a 1,700hp Fort GT rocks so much harder than any Veyron.

Yup, it was shot 7 months, 9 days, 22 hours, 20 minutes, 58 seconds ago

Pretty sure they bumped the hp numbers up by now.
