It's only $30k now. A pretty good deal if you like that kind of thing. I know this guy, he really did spend over $100k.

Darn that CDC.
Especially not from a magazine.

I guess you could say that is one sick car!

The question is, did he get anything back from all of it? Seriously, since you know him, you might could tell me. Aside from the notoriety, is it worth it financially to invest so much money into a car to make it a carpet queen. Is the prize money decent? Is he now trying to get back part of what he put in because he lost his *** on it?

Granted, Im sure a few things were sponsored, but Im guessing to even get that far he had to invest a good chunk to even get noticed. So im wondering did he turn a profit on it, or was it a money pit that got him into a few magazines and maybe a few import models pants?

The finish on the hood gaps meeting the bumper is terrible. Also has the same situation for the spoiler and the hatch. It may be the most modded, but it is not the "best" as implied.

Even if he's selling for a high price, I wouldn't really diss that 350Z.

I've heard it's a mean bastard. It does look heavy with all the extra ****, but I know for a fact that it is pretty fast.

Most anything on Team Emotion is fast. They have a 600hp S2000 and many others that will blow most away. So I wouldn't doubt him, I've seen him in a few Team Emotion videos.

A very similar Z was beat by a Nismo 350z without engine mods in the SCC titled "The Truth". Also, the Honda Fit beat it.

Default Best Z???????

He could of not only saved a s*** load of money installing two of the right kind of woofers and got BETTER sound out of it, but A LOT less weight also to go even faster. The trunk doesn't have enough air space to run that many woofers properly. Looks good but like everyone said before, WAY too much going on inside the car.

Of course it's not worth it. You never get back what you put into a car. I wouldn't have spent that much. I don't think he's trying to get anything back really. Obviously the car stock was more than $30k itself. It was one of the first Z's around here and a Track model too. Personally I think show cars taken to that extent are stupid.

Why the hell do people insist on installing tires that are 4 sizes too small for their rims? The word is "stupid", not "cool".

I would stay away from it unless you want to catch one of the 15 plagues it has received.
