Going to pull the trigger on GT2

I have decided to purchase my friends GT2: for the "story" on this S-Car-Go tuned 600rwhp vehicle go here: https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...ad.php?t=64007

I spoke w/ Todd at Protomotive and Rob at S-Car-Go about this car and both immediatly recognized the car and its owner. Rob saw pictures of the car after it was crashed and assured me that the damage caused no serious structural or frame damage. He said besides the body work and paint (which is now better than OEM) that the only damage was very slight and to the suspension which has been fully repaired. Rob also expressed shock at the price of the car. So....

I am going to put a deposit on it immediately w/out running a PPI. My friend has promised to sell it to me, but I want to demonstrate that I am serious. I am somewhat paranoid now that the word is out, lol. I have to close on a house I am building in order to refinance another property which will give me the cash to pay off the car in about 8 weeks.

I can hardly wait!

Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine that I would own a car like the GT2.

Sean

Thanks,

I was very relieved when Rob told me that he saw the pictures after the accident and that the damage wasn't too bad.

As I mentioned in another thread, I was also concerned about 600 rwhp on stock internals. Unless perfectly tuned, that much power can pose a threat, especially to the rods. But it is my understanding that Todd's tunes are flawless and that I should get many reliable miles from this car.

But what will I do for the next 8 weeks? Building and closing on a house and getting married to a fantastic gal (who I just found out is pregnant...we will be married before I buy the car) are hardly enough to distract me from what is truly important in life: this car.

Picking up hotties are for those slow Lambos/Ferrari. Your GT2 is much more special than that....Congrats.

I used to train/teach jits, although I am a retired old man now.

But the real expert on here is Str8blast.

Alan, lol....as you can see I was just talking about u!

Guys, Alan is the real deal....when are u going to step into the cage, my man?

I am going to try and train one last time ( I keep making comebacks...everyone out here in Texas....and when I trained in Cali also, guns for me when they hear I got a belt from Renzo).

Oh, and Alan, I just spoke w/ Jay last night...he is 280, natural (finally) and going to start training w/ randy again. I swear if that kid gets his head straight he will be the next UFC champ.

Are you gonna watch this sat? I have all the inside info on how Monson passed the drug test, lol.

Any Jiu Jitsu guys want one of these. Just pay for shipping. These are extra shirts that I have left over. My wife created them on the side and we sell them through our foundation for kids to learn Jiu Jitsu (Sponsor needy kids through profits. My side project in life). Shirts were professionally done and only have a few extra, Pm me.


Aloha
