Cons: small bubble in paint from a weld flexing where the headlight buckets were shaved to the fenders, but the car shines so much it isn't noticeable. Power windows are slow. There is either a disconnected wire or power lock module is faulty, engine needs some tuning but is 95% of the way there... no car is perfect but this one is pretty damn close.

Yes.... with the triple webers, headers, and cam you CAN light up those massive tires. You have to drive it to believe it.

This is on caliber to be parked next to any GTR, Maserati, or Ferrari. I do not believe there is a nicer one on the market (outside of Japan at least). Few this nice have ever been offered up for sale. I can arrange shipping if required. Car is being sold out of a private collection alongside other exotics and classics, we do not have room for it. It must go.
