If you factor in labor ($105 an hour at some places) its not out of the question to approach that level. Case in point, a previous owner of my 951 put in $25k over 6 years or so and 12k miles. I would say more than half of that was paying labor ($100+ an hour).

Honestly i am wondering what the owner of it was thinking when he decided to sell it. With the amount of work done, that is one of those cars you get buried in.

No way that much money has gone into that car. I have seen too many cars here that have had half that cash go into it, look so much better, and have twice the performance.
The Naawz, Sparco Seats, and cloth interior also greatly increase my disbelief.

I think if I was playing with $101k I could build somthing a little better. lol. I think 500hp w/o nos and amazing bodywork with custom paint and 1-off everything. With $4k on power you can get 350 easy. I am confused.. where is the $75k at?

For probably $30k you can have an LS7 installed and have 500HP out of the box. With all that extra money you could probably double that.

If I could spend that much money I'd probably drop 10k on the paint alone, make it half a mile deep and bulletproof.
