Wow, that is a nice car. I hope for all of our sake's he get's 30k or more. I just had my car appraised for $60,000. After Rob gets his done, I'm sure it will be worth that or more. Web site is looking good to Rob. You kill me. I have no idea how you have that saved. I even enjoyed reading it over.
Ehall, I got my fingers crossed for you to win that lottery.

My roomate was in contact with this seller at some point last week. If I remember correctly from our conversation, he said something like ~$40k for reserve price on the car.

Regardless the car SOLD for $21,750! Thats got to be the 951 deal of the century...no not the lowest price ever, but paying less than $.25/dollar of mods invested is a good way to save yourself some money, especially had you planned to go all out with the car in the first place.
Rolex, Did you ever get any details on the car, as you said you were inquiring?

"I can take more photos. The magazines were S3 (Speed, Style, & Sound), Hot Cars of Connecticut, and I believe it was in the Challenge Porsche magazine. I have the S3 magazine copy. I have dyno sheets from the pump gas runs were it made 342 whp. I can always accomodate another dyno run for the new owner. If you want more pictures, I need an email address; thanks and good luck."

I think I'm probably the only one to ask for "specific" details, dyno sheets, PSI levels, and more pics. He probably didnt want to bother with it and wanted to sell it as it, with all the bling it has.
Regardless, all the mods on the car (Kinesis wheels, LR products, etc, etc) make it a decent buy for whoever won the auction.

If I were going to try to sell my car I would post my dyno runs for 350 at 16 psi, 375 at 18 psi, and 400 at 20 psi even though I drive it at a conservative 16 psi to keep wheel spin to a minimum. Espeically since the car is nowhere near stock.
If you wants to get the big moneys you gots to do the work to make it stand out and convince the buyers it is worth asking price.

I agree with you though, that if I were selling my car, I would absolutely be sure to indicate the known performance levels at any and all "safe" boost levels, even if the car is faster or more tolerable at lower boost levels.
Peak HP numbers sell cars!

And yeah, you are right, from a marketing (selling) perspective, peak numbers sell cars. Sad but true. It's not how I think, but well over 90% of the population does.

RKD, Amen to your post. You have to do the work to show it's worth. That was a hell of a deal for someone. Sucks that it went for so low. I think had he done more to sell the car instead of show it, it would've sold for more. That sale is a bad thing for all of us.

Not true. I remember seeing a pic of your engine. Way too much for me and I live in Vegas! As soon as I saw the polished expansion tank, that sent me over and I got a bit woosy. By the way, I absolutely love that intake by milledge. That carbon fiber is better than any polish any day.
