Looks like it has a techart body kit, exhaust and probably a tune? How does that get to 720 hp?

No idea, but I'd be curious why would it have a salvage title from a "minor accident"?

Alotta scratch for a 60K mile tip turbo w/ a salvage title..

Sounds like there are more stories than what's posted there. Not worth the second look.

Stay away unless you want to buy a total salvaged car. Carfax shows total loss and "Accident reported Vehicle involved in a sideswipe collision Airbag deployed"

Looks like a junkbox

Must be some new "special edition" we don't know about.

I see a bunch of red flags. Those don't look to be authentic TechArt bumpers, Carfax is flagged with a nice collision, wheels look to be cheap overseas rims, and the "GT3 RS Brake Rotors" appear to be standard 997tt brakes. The seller doesn't even know what they're selling.

I agree.... too many red flags on this car. Also, the car is badged with a turboS. I did not think the turboS was available in 2008...

LOL I missed those.

Must've been part of the 2008 "Turbo S" special edition super secret package.

I with the other members on this one!

To answer your question about the power, it is simply not accurate. You can not make 720hp on stock turbos using pump fuel.

I wish you the best of luck in your search, as you can see we do not have a problem letting you know what we think
