Got to throw the BS flag here... Without build specs and dyno - then its just bench racing.

i am skeptical of the 700+ figure at 23psi, unless he has one hell of a head on that thing.

Not a race car, no roll cage with full interior, all I saw were some LR bolt ons, I agree this one calls for the BS flag

So he is gonna make a claim of:

"Stage 1 @12psi=459hp, Stage 2 @18psi=609hp, Stage 3 @23psi=734hp.

But he isnt going to disclose the detailed specs? Only to the the serious buyer? I dont care who this is, that is just poor salesmanship, period. And he can make 734 HP? Well without seeking any 'detailed' specs, I will call total BS on this. If the seller is indeed a RL Member, you best back up this claim on here...

I highly doubt he has the extensive mods that Special Too had ---> Tool's Spec Sheet

If I ever sell my car, I'll say: Stage 0.5 @stock=250 HP; Stage 4 @32psi=951 HP (buyer must provide chips, tune, internal parts and fuel source).

If it weren't for the ebay steering wheel, cheap rims and Ridiculous horsepower claims, I would be saying well done. But...
Not sure what stock or cheater turbo would be putting out that kind of power? (STOCK CLASS?)

BUT. Still. I think it still seems to be recently gone through and in pretty clean shape. (pic guess of course.) I think mid 20's for a 951 with the work done that I could see, and for a clean car is a good price.

Once again though.. with that kind of BS statement, it makes you wonder how much else is BS. So.. I would stay away just in case.
