Default Anyone know this car?

https://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/d...4929/overview/

Love the deviated stitching, sports seats and gauges.

Not a big fan of the spoiler, front and rear diffuser, although it does not looks bad.

High msrp which I am looking for.

Car belong(ed) to anyone on here?

Given the look and location, I would definitely get a thorough PPI on this one.

In regards to DME and clutch life I am assuming? I read your post about the 07 from CarMax you were looking at.


I noticed this car before, cool Turbo.

Dealer does not know much about the car. Definitely need a good PPI, aside from the visual mods, I'd be curious about engine modifications too, including turbo's IC's etc. Looks like someone spent a fair amount of money on it.

That is a high MSRP car. Stitching is great - have it on my car - don't like carbon bits.

CPO covers most of everything, but not the clutch or brakes.

Nice car, looks like the original owner spent a lot on gingerbread options and modifications. Would also like to see what the build sheet looks like. But, with all the performance upgrades I don't see an exhaust, at least the tips are stock. It also appears to have an updated stereo system. But, IMO it's still a little overpriced. Thoughts/comments?

Posted build sheet in second post. The champion ship motorsports carbon fiber parts are expensive, 10K plus for what you see. It is only worth it if someone is willing to pay for it.

I'd say the price depends on the maintenance of the car including overrev rapport and clutch. I think they are asking a premium for the car though.

It always concerns me when a dealer does not know what they are selling. When asking for a recent DME readout it was said to me that is was not possible to obtain because it has an aftermarket headunit. Hmm, Ok, so let us get this car over somewhere for a thorough PPI.

A call to Champion would be worthwhile if purchasing.

I reached out to them already, the records could not be found for the car, possible dated to far back.

Someone definitely spent some coin on this one. I wonder if it's got the Works 1 airbox and or Y-pipe cf bits in the engine bay. Looks like a really nice car though. Definitely asking a premium, but if it's a good ppi, probably is a premium car. Certainly a beautiful one!

It also has the carbon diffuser, but no Y pipe. Strange.

Does it make any meaningful difference?
