So maybe I'm looking for another 240. I think this one could fill the bill: repo's next 240

What do you guys think?

Oh you mean this one? click me

Bah I was looking for the nico thread so you beat me.

SEARCH hehe

edit: there was a FA thread on this saying the guy really doesnt push that much hp. They saw him dyno at IIRC 450 down.

Also they said since he is saying it puts that much down that he should have to bring the buyer to a dyno to witness it hehe. As its like saying I have a 350hp na KA 240 to find out it puts out 200 or so, might piss you off.

You're going to be SEARCHING for your posts if you're not careful there, 96! LOL.

It is overpriced and I doubted 800hp from the start, but I'm sure it would entertaining to drive.

You guys are a damned tough bunch to entertain, you know that?

HAHA repo... I knew I was dancing on a thin line, but figured what the hell hehe..

Im sure it would be rather fun to drive though... But I really wouldnt like having to use the bottle to ease lag. Imagine trying to auto-x that... No bottles allowed on any scca site even. Would you even really get into boost?

Nah, wouldn't really be a good auto-x car. More of a roadcourse car. Could spool it pretty good on a nice, long straight.

Off topic: Deltona is right next to Daytona, isn't it?

Hour? I got to sixth st off of nova (edit: like this matters as you dont live here :) ) this morning at 12:01 as holox welding supply closes at 12 am, and I needed a 75%/25% argon co2 refill.

I left here at 11:25 and got my 80 filled.

So about 20 - 25 to daytona and about 35 - 45 to the beach depanding on lights and stuff.

Check out his site, he's claiming 800HP at the crank i believe. HE has dyno sheets for 478-641 RWHP. Just because one guy saw ONE dyno run does mean $hit.

I know it does :) hehe

Like I said ""IIRC"", I was caught up between the numbers of 450hp and 600hp (he just pulled 640ish on the 1st and I heard about this car end of april btw). The 450 felt more correct and so I put that. If I really gave a **** about his car I would go search the fa boards in search of it, or go look at his site.

Now that I did, I see that its nothing more then an over powered street racer. Nothing special about it other then its powerplant. I really wouldnt want to take this to the track as the suspension is either stock or a basic spring shock setup. It also doesnt look like it has any type of cage. Going that fast at a track is silly and negligent to himself, and also not legal at the strips. Well you could get a single pass then they would give you the boot and tell you to cage it.

Like I said an overpower street racer, and thats just from what I can see.... I wouldnt be surprised if he had stock brakes.
