A Beast of a Turbo for sale on eBay



http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...518107997&rd=1

I wonder what the reserve is?

"All listed items were professionally installed by AJ USA in San Diego, and Evolution Motorsports in Phoenix Arizona. The car was prepared to compete in the “Excellence” Twin Turbo Shootout held at Las Vegas Motor Speedway in November of 2004. As a result, this car is on the cover of the February issue of “Excellence” magazine and took top honors in this prestigious event. It is completely street legal and was prepared to be a daily driver. This car has never been raced."

Isn't the Shootout kind of like a race? Aren't they pushing the car just as hard as they would in a race?

I am not a frequent visitor of this site but I thought it Alex's car was the only tip in the shootout. Pretty sure thats Freds - I could be wrong.

That is fred's car and yes he is selling it. Look at the for sale forums for any other details. It truely is a sad day for college students like myself, who absolutly love his car and everything he does with it. Hope she goes to a good owner who tunes and drives her to the limits.

Thats not Fred's car, his car is in Nor Cal, where as this car is in So Cal. Also the work was done in San Diego at AJUSA and EVO in AZ where Fred's car was in AZ and other Nor Cal shops.

It's not Fred's car, he never had Akkurat graphics on his car for the shoot out. Also those are not the BBS's he has on the car and he has a 993 look hood.

If it's not Fred's which is possible then it was entirly modeled after Fred's. The techart body, the 18' black BBS special made wheels to fit the BBK, the floor boards that resemble a CGT, among others. The only thing that got me wondering is Freds car was sporting AKKURAT decals for the shootout I think. So i'm not sure. But I do know Fred is selling his car and do not think any of the EVO boys are parting with there babies.

Writing that it's never been raced is very deceiving, why even include that?
