That was one of the worst cases of misleading/poorly worded e-bay sales I have seen! I've seen some fast imports, but to play in that league (viper, vette, etc.) you usually are talking about modded twin-turbo supras or RX-7s.

It was kind of amusing to note that he was suitably slapped around by "hundreds" of e-bayers.

Haha...the additional updates at the end are a real laugh

My goodness. ANY car has the POTENTIAL to beat a viper. Add a rocket pack to the back of a Yugo.

"This car has never been fully airborne or raced off road. "

HHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAH

this is wonderful:

"The fuel injectors have never stuck open and leaked into the intake manifold causing the car not to start. That was looked into but it never happened."

"I always wait until the car is fully stopped before I put the car into another gear."

"No large objects, such as animals or stop signs, were ever hit."

UH HUH... RIIIIGHT...

Yeah, it's kinda scary I can remember that Motor Trend had an article about this car (I guess about 6-8 years ago now) and I can remember it just fine, but I have to think about what I had for breakfast.

As I remember it, the engine was actually mounted directly in the back seat (which was removed, of course) and you could actually buy one! The real trick was making it RWD and it apparently was a huge ordeal to tub the rear.

Of course, 220 hp in a 2200 lb. car is a going to be crazy quick off the line! I think I would rather stick a supercharged 383 in an RX-7 and be mackin' in high style!
