"ALL IN ALL THE CAR ENDED UP WITH 500+HP."

:laugh: :laugh: I should fucking hope so for the money he spent.

Then he adds the Kicker solobarics, fiberglass enclosure, twin amps. So let me get this straight.

1.) You have no idea how much power a VERY expensive turbokit added to your car, but you just want to be able to tell your friends that it's a custom twin turbo vette.

2.) With all the money you spent on power mods, you fucked yourself by adding MORE weight in all the wrong places. The turbos, their hardware, oil coolers, kicker subs and amps and an enclosure, plus 19 inch chrome wheels all add up to make your vette into a tank.

3.) You failed to address any other highly important aspect of the car, such as suspension tuning, brakes, or ENGINE MANAGEMENT.

You just wanted a high dyno # [which you don't even know] to tell your buddies about.

4.) The car is not meticulous, but since all the owner cares about is the "social status" that it brings, then I accept the fact that he's a moron with too much money in his pocket and not a clue on what REAL automotive performance is about.

"THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING LEFT TO DO TO THIS CAR EXCEPT FOR ADD:" ["except TO add." Nice English skills...]

-Standalone engine management

-Upgraded struts/springs, suspension hardware, swaybars and strut braces.

-Chassis bracing and corner balancing

-A ROLL CAGE. Did we forget it's a convertible?

-AN INTERCOOLER - hello? Did we miss something important here? You don't even list water injection. Welcome to "Detonation City."

-Ditch the stereo junk - it's fucking your center of gravity.

-UPGRADED BRAKES. Yes, welcome to the world of kinetic energy. Twin turbos and a V8 create kinetic energy. Brakes transform kinetic energy into thermal energy. Stock brakes aren't made to stand up to hauling one and a half tons of twin turbocharged stereo hardware to a stop.

-No gauges. I suppose the notion of doubling your cylinder pressures and dumping in twice the standard air/fuel ratio without any idea of how healthy your engine is running is just kosher with you. Why not give it some nice healthy 87 octane and boost hard on a hot day while you're at it, just as icing on the cake.

-To top it all off, we don't even know whether the engine was built or not - I'd assume not... so in essence, without engine management, this car is a ticking bomb.

-Oh did I forget?

Since it's a convertible, goodbye structural rigidity. Hello extra weight, hello instant death upon rollover.

there, i'm done now. someone tell this fucking moron to stick with blinging out Cadillac Escalades and taking his social status golfing buddies out to the country club.

So I take it you won't be bidding???

LOL.

On Mr. "Social Status"? EVERY schmuck making 40k per year on long island owns a vette. There's no status in that car.
