So your saying you dont know the list of mods but you know he spent $80K on his mods?

 

I think he included the price of the Car and all the interest for the loan and credit card.

 

If he included the price of the car he cant read....

 

I think it's past the OP's bed time.

 

+1 but he seems to know alot about VTR for sure..

 

no im saying i donot have a list of mods in front of me and if i did it is not my place to tell. but i can tell the customer spent well over 80k.

 

i think he woudl make an excellent customer for VRT

 

 

EDITED for accuracy....


cue animated gif from last year (you know the one)

 

No offense but I doubt that car has $80K into it.

Parts that is....anybody can run up A high bill if tuning MOTECs is part of the equation.

 

If he spent well over $80K in mods he must still be walking funny from the **** raping somebody gave him...

 

how could you make such a ignorant statement when you have no idea what was done to the car and how long it took. its always the people that either donot have money or the talent that talk the most. mostly out of their ***.

 

rb26ina240........

From the picture its not hard to figure out what was spent on the Z. Even the body is stock...if the body was carbon fiber....it still would be hard to get the car to 80K in mods. A lot of us on here have spend 30K to 55K + for motor/Turbo systems and so on. Then ad rims, suspension, Diff, and Trans . I would be generous and say 60K...because I do not see a picture of the suspension setup.....

So I am going to have to agree with Alberto on this one.

 

its what you dont see thats my point. plus three mechanics working around the clock to meet a customers deadline.

 

I can spend $80K sooooooo easy, is that really a problem with anyone here? And that's assuming noone ****-raped me...

 

Actually if you look at a previous post you can see ALL of what he has done to the car....no offense but VRT would have charged LESS...LOL!!!!

I do not want to take anything away from them as I am impressed by the car and the driver....but in NO WAY is that $80K worth of stuff...


Taken from https://my350z.com/forum/autocross-road/279004-vtr-350z-takes-1st-pl-weatherly-pa-hillclimb-56k-warning.html

 

anyone that owns or runs a shop knows what it takes financially to have three workers work on a race car to meet a deadline(to build it from a shell to race car in a short period of time). there is alot of legg work in building a car like this, building the right cage, complying with different sanctioning body rules, getting the right tire compounds. not to mention going with the customer to the track and teaching. constantly loading and unloading a race car. there are so many other things I could go on but i wont. IMO a bargain. so many of U guys get on these forums and criticize other enthusiast for what reason?

 

I respect the driver's and car's abilities as to place first in the hill climb first time around is AMAZING. But, the OP was discussing having a car built....NOT spending that much over the the course of preparing, familiarizing ones self and driving the car.

Otherwise ANYBODY could say that they have spent over $100K when we factor in gas, oil, maintence etc. I can see why track-side support and 3 techs working would cost $. But is still don't see $80K of WORK in that car.

Put it this way. Even if we over estimate the cost of a motor and turbo with tuning (i believe Vinny still doesn not believe in tuning cars so tuning couldn't have been that much) at $25,000, add $5k for the brakes, $2k for seats, $2k for the cage. Even if the customer agreed to $10K in labor (fair for installing a motor and turbo kit i fhis dead lines meant other cars would have to be postponed), wheels, tires ETC we are at $50K (gross over estimate)

So either the GUY agreed to $30K to learn how to drive (bondurat would have been hella cheaper) and transport his car (a used F150 and trailer would have come in less), OR people are overestimating just how much that car has in it.

 

+111 I know Vinny is known in the industry but just based on a few conversation with their staff and how they really believe that a Re-Flash is more than enough really worries me (especially in NY were Temp Change can be drastic). No wonder the Hydra EMS is still in R&D.

 

+1 on Noah, this guy writes about complying with sanctioning bodies, and pickin tires is hard. For people that do this for a living building a cage and ordering correct tires isnt an $80K deal...Im not criticizing the car in question, Im criticizing your blind statements. LOL @ teaching the customer how to drive and trailer costs, that doesnt factor into the price of mods where I am from.
