Sorry dude you picked the wrong car to turbo and expect any kind of return back. It's still a Cavalier.

He dynoed 500 on a GT35R, then spent more money on it and made it slower with the T04E. Probably because the 35 was a Chinacharger and exploded or something.

But it's a SLEEPER. Not because it's a turbo'd Cavalier, but because nobody (besides this guy) would be dumb enough to actually do it.

First car advice, looks like carmax sells 2006 buick lucernes for 11k with 40k miles on them. This is the best first car ever if you can afford that much, if not 1500 miata. This is 3 holer though, the northstar one would be better but not by much.

I love the concept of "professionally lengthened" as if there were full time Fiero choppers, not just some goober with a tig welder in a disreputable shop. Also, what the hell is Clarkson driving in the last picture?

I never bought an E30 when I was younger because I didn't know how to drive stick and knew I didn't want the AT. I wish I had just bought one and learned; there are no reasonably priced ones anymore, and some patently absurd ones. http://denver.craigslist.org/cto/4794732904.html

Nitrox posted:Higher PSI =/= better. It's a lovely t25 that spins at 15-16psi in stock form, making ~160whp in an Eclipse. At 20 psi is pretty much out of it's optimal range. That car is a massive turd. "the car has no rust whatsoever", except rust is clearly visible in 2 pictures. Intercooler piping is made from prefabbed steel exhaust bends from your local auto store, painted red of course. No mention of fuel management of any kind, but it sure does have aftermarket rods, attached to what, stock pistons? Meth is one hell of a drug And this is why I don't own a turbo'd car, all of this is poo poo that went over my head when I read the ad. Chances are still good that you'd kill yourself in this car but it'll be because of it blowing up

Look at picture 16, pieces of interior trim are bubbling. Well, I love them and I think they look fantastic. And, really, what does a 0-60 time have to do with anything? A Ferrari 250 GTO is $38million dollar car and it would get walked by an Accord on the track. But, to answer your question $170,000 is high, but not crazy. I suspect you could get it for ~$110,000. Remember, these are pretty rare car compared to the 458. They will make many more 458s this year than in the entire run of the Diablo in any form.
