Do you think its worth it?
 
Obviously he wants more than 15k, but would you pay this much for this

Re:Do you think its worth it?
 
Why would you buy that after someone else built it/abused it?

I don't believe him anyways. I want proof of this 600hp and 9 second run. He doesn't even list the whole setup. What kind of rods, pistons, sleeves? What compression?

I'm not interested at all. I just saw it and put it up here. Its only about 45min. from me so I could look at it to see if its all true.

Hell no I wouldn't pay that much for an already built car. If I was going to spend 15k or more on a car I would do everything the way I wanted to do it.

There is no way that ---- is worth $15K.A car is not a ------- investment ::).He'll be lucky to sell that thing for 6 grand.

600hp???? surely the tyres wouldnt grip and they look like street tyres

I'm assuming he used slicks with different rims. I had those same rims and they are heavy mother fuckers.

uh, Chris Rado doesnt build cars, he has his cars built for him. My boss was a mechanic on his team when he did the 8 sec pass as a UniBody in his Honda Integra. He said that engine was built for rados integra, if it was, that ---- is OLD as hell. He's been using the Celicas for like over a year now.

I gotta raise the BS flag.

600 hp car runs 9's.. doesnt even have a cage, lol

still trying to eyeball that flange to decifer if its a t4 or t3 flange.. tough to tell.

I agree with the BS flag, it probably is really fast, but 600hp?

That car is very clean, but how the hell did he spend 35,000 on it? Has it got solid gold pistons that you can't see? I think that it's strange that he doesn't have more pictures than what's on there. Maybe some shots of the engine while it was being assembled, interior pics etc. Even if everything he said was true it would never fetch 15,000.
