WWW.CARV2.COM TO SEE THE BUILD AND DYNO RUNS, CAR HAS TOMEI CAMS IT HAS BEE DELICATLY MASSAGED ALL OVER. THIS SHOP IS ONE OF THE BEST ON THE EAST COAST NO DOUBT. THEY ARE ABOUT 20MIN FROM MY WORK. CHECK THEM OUT, VERY LEGIT SHOP AND VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE IN THE 350Z/G35 RELM. IN HOUSE DYNO AND TRAINED TUNERS ON STAFF.

 

You or I probably couldn't build that car for less. I'd say its worth it but buying a built car like that does take some of the love out of it.

 

+1.......spend that much and skimp out on the tint job?

 

That car is worth about $30k tops.

 

here you go guys i came across this couple weeks ago .

...doesn't mean anything.

 

Mmm, mmm... we love that crack!

Seriously though, it's disappointing that the 350Z has become the new Civic in terms of "tuner car of choice". No one could have predicted the resale value falling so drastically. Most people on the boards don't appreciate all the effort, research, and "love" that went into building the car. Some can relate and recognize all the factors.

Is it worth $60K? IMO, no...it's worth about $90K. Of course getting that figure is very unrealistic. We also realize getting $60k is tough. Although the average consumer could not build one to that caliber for the $60k price. Anyone who understands what's involved with this type of build would tend to agree.

That being said...a little more about the car:

Only 4000 total miles. 3000 miles on the built engine.
Crower and CP internal (no cheap SRP or Eagle parts)
Stock cams and heads (R/D purposes for retaining OE parts here)
Never seen snow or rain
Never raced or abused (although tested thoroughly)
3 maps (2 pump fuel, 1 race fuel)
Designed with the street in mind
Turn key reilability
No rice here, no ice here. Strictly high performance.
Nothing was budget compromised.
Condition is "new"

We consider this car for someone who wants a weekender...someone who wants supercar performance with porsche boxter cost. The car could easily be a daily driver, but the rims and lip kit are less than suitable for such duty.

We are taking a huge monetary loss at the selling price of $60k. That is the cost of expertice. We understand that. The only reason for selling the car is to make way for another...maybe the new GTR...maybe the projected new Supra...maybe a G35 (*hint*).

Thanks for all the buzz.

Your words....not mine.
I am sure you have been in the business long enough to know that you will never get back all the money dumped into modding a car, no matter how great it turned out.

 

what kinna crack are u on

 

We do realize. I explain it to people everyday. It doesn't mean that we can't try to recover as much as we can.

 

Just because you put money into a car doesn't mean its worth something more. That only applies to houses. Haha.

 

That 4th street banger!!!


LOL!

 

hey isn't VIP a sponsor on our site? i could have sworn i saw a thread made by them just yesterday...hMmm. I'll see if I can find it. Now back to the topic at hand. The car is nice to say the least, but worth $60k? I hope they make close to what their listing it for but I doubt they'll make $60k on a 350Z.

 

nope...wrong car. function tuned has one that looks very similar at first glance.

 

any reason that dosent mean anything? or just a lame comment? more of that typical NY attitude i love so much.where do you have youre car tuned, by the guys at unique whips, put some chrome on youre z and a strut grill.

 

They prob wanted to leave you a mod or two..

 

+1 guys...don't hate. The price is high by my standards, but if someone is willing to pay it, then its worth it. Plain n simple. If I have what you want and you HAVE to have it, you'll pay the price I name or negotiate close to it. That's just the way supply and demand work.

Question USED. With the power you guys are making on this car, why didn't you go with the FCON? Resolution is 32x32 vesus 10x10 on the UTEC. Much more precise tuning if you ask me. Nice car for sure. A twin turbo supra cost damn near as much with half the power. Good luck with the sale on that sick Z.

 

Very nice car...seen it in person and the guys that built it are cool.

 

Big up to you. Thanks.

We went with UTEC because our shop was involved with the developement of it. Car V2 is a TXS certified UTEC tuner. We like its simplicity and user friendly appeal. Most people with a boosted z don't need an FCON. The Pro V is also more than twice the price of the UTEC. Sometimes less is more.

I agree with you on the FCON. Awesome unit.
