DO IT

That Z is bitchin

Altough that line, 394hp is close to 500wheel HP at the crank...it almost sounds fishy...

But if you want it, GET IT

Yea, I thought the hp rating was kinda off. I emailed the seller about a few things and asked for a dyno graph. I think I might give a call to ProTech Performance who did the modification to get some real answers.

If I were you, I wouldn't buy it unless you had a look at it in person. People don't own almost 400 rwhp sports cars to baby them, he most likely beat the hell of it. Other than that man, it's a gorgeous car, good luck!

Car looks sweet. I wonder why people spend so much money on a car then just let it go for so cheap even when it's new...

Some people (like me) just find a newer and better car. I just bought a supercharged Honda S2000 in September with all kinds of modifications done to it...now I want that 350

It's kind of funny...over at the S2000 board, everyone hates my extreme veilside millenium kit, but alot of people seem to like the exotic look.

No really. Figure if you have 20% drivetrain loss and your making 500 hp at the crank, then that would leave you with 400 whp.

So do I, probably moreso than God.

After actually seeing the auction, I see what your saying. I think he just doesn't understand the conceptual difference between WHP and BHP.

Does anyone know if I could get Volk GT-C's to fit the widebody? I did a quick photoshop of it with them, and it looks really good!

The owner of that Z is a member or was a member on this forum. I remember that he was posting the progress of his car.

Thanks for the dyno! I don't think I am going to go through with this because he doesn't want to trade for my car, and I am in the midst of buying another car for my daily driver. I don't think I could sell my S2000 for what I paid for b/c I paid a high price (which I didn't mind because I really love the car) and I would take a hit on it. That hit plus more for the 350, plus about 60sumthin for my other new car just wont work out.

Those Kinesis wheels are 100 times better than anything Volk makes.
