If it's really putting down 440HP, I say it's worth 33k. It's in showroom condition, and only has 27k miles.

Am I the only one who's laughing at this part?

I'm loving this little pearl of automotive wisdom from MotorTrend quoted in the ad...

right, but original motor supposedly. notice it says "24k original miles"? no porting there, unless they had a buddy in the factory.

most of the other receipts were for indeterminate things and only showed totals... of what? your guess is as good as mine. don't even know if those are receipts for that car since it only shows the total.

not to mention, they never said anything about having it dyno'd.

Very nice car. Seems to be done right with the correct mods. I believe the car is worth that much to the right person. I personally think the body work and that entire car is almost flawless. Reciepts and all!!!

bravo,

Shouldnt we all be hoping that that is what the car is worth. You wont find a much more tasteful and clean FD around. If it really puts out anywhere near 400 HP, I would really hope it would be woth at least 33K.

I know that I like to see the re-sale of FDs go up.

I love what it says in the RX-7 advertisement manual.

RX-7. Lightning, in the world of Thunder.

Damn, these cars get better with age. Dont they?

LOL, nice man. I guess you didn't want the other FD to get all the attention. BTW I prefer your FD anyday of the week.

givent he context i interpretted it to mean that a good driver can cut the 0 to 60mph time by .5 to 1 sec. he was talking about the 60 foot time to show that it wasnt with a good launch with wheel spin and a pro driver would be able to improve that. the quote that is here leaves off the first half of the statement. the subject of the statement was 0 to 60mph not 60' times.

i dont know. who cares...i jsut thoguht there was soemthing i was missing is all.

What is This Lupe ??? A 3 Year old with Crayons ???

Usually the plots stop once you reach your "Max" Potential, and these just go back to "0" ??

I've thought about that too, I wish someone local had some nice wheels with the correct off-set that I could throw on. I know that the wheels and tires scare some people off.
