It's a turbo setup. It's a nice car but doubt it will get the asking price. I also cant understand why the fuel cell is in the cabin?

how much do u think it costs to build a car like that?

The joys of Hotrodding. You can build a car costing a mil but you will never get your money back selling it.

[Madman337]

No where near 100k tho and what the hell with the fuel cell???? There is no way this thing is track legal unless you show a track official that its a fake fuel cell because what kind of moron would run the fuel lines ect right in behind the driver anyway I mean seriously would anybody in their right mind offer to set themselves on fire in the case of an accident?
Nice car tho but I think it was a nice car when these guys got it and now its been modified to look meaner ect by the current dealer. I could be wrong but if I was I would know it LOL.

Here's the article from GM High Tech. The ebay description sucks..

HP/TQ: 891/791

He might of added some stuff to it since that article.




From the April, 2012 issue of GM High-Tech Performance

And while Michael's original goal was to make 900-rwhp, he is pretty happy with the 891 it laid down, although a new set of injectors and a methanol kit were already on his list of future modifications at the time of this writing.

It's a turbo setup. It's a nice car but doubt it will get the asking price. I also cant understand why the fuel cell is in the cabin?Super Charged, not turbo! Not a fuel cell.

Is that your car?

[Featherburner]

Is that your car?No, why?

[nstg8r]

I'm not that far from Englewood if someone wants me to go check it out for them.

[HAND HERPES]

No, why?

I thought it was cause you knew what that thing was and your avatar looks like that car. lol

[JCzNova]

I'm the high bidder.

[Featherburner]

I thought it was cause you knew what that thing was and your avatar looks like that car. lolYou just need to know a little bit about cars to do the math. 2+2= that's not a fuel cell! LOL!

[MeanTA]

Its a nice car. I have the issue it's in.



But that is not a 100,000 build!

[rdx]

Yeah 100k is way too much but man that's such a nice car!

My knowledge about cars is fine. I'm not the only person who thought it was a fuel cell. Your the expert though.

[JCzNova]

I'm sure that is counting all the labor man-hours for the life of the vehicle too. There are some with bad*ss FI rides on here, that have let everyone else build it for them. Stroke the check and watch the HP climb....

:whistle:

[rdx]

Did you see the interior pics? It looks like it has Alcantara on the seats, the gear stick boot and the console..

[Neil350]

Back in '01 or so some one asked MTI what it would cost to duplicate Dave Lewis' '95 Firehawk, 383 stroker with nice LT4 Heads MTI had done, car had a Vortech T trim with a custom cog set up, six speed with a street twin, KTRE 12 Bolt, same Fikses I own now, a lot of nice suspension stuff, nice set of Baer brakes, the car was making 740RWHP on 104. The price was some where around $24K just in parts and keep in mind that was back in 01. After seeing what this shit costs from my 93 I would have rather have bought some thing like that WS6. It's worth what some ones willing to pay, but your not duplicating that car and that quality for $21K especially having a shop build it, 100K seems a bit excessive, I could see 40ish though pretty easy.

Well said... I agree. 40-60k os my guess assuming the quality is as nice as the pics make it out to be.
