XxMustang281xX · Mar 3, 2007

who is gonna pay 125,000 for that? lmao

RedDaemon · Mar 3, 2007

not worth over 30k

droid#83853 · Mar 3, 2007

Well, it is race ready. Honestly I would say 60k, not 125k. For 125k you could go buy something just as fast with more class. Or put a nice down payment on a Lambo Murcielago.

RedDaemon · Mar 3, 2007

the cammer 50 is 15k

the brakes are ~1500

the seats are sparco...so what

its just an 05 body style...so what

DTNODYA · Mar 4, 2007

hahahahaa

whyask · Mar 4, 2007

umm...no more space cake for that AZZ CLOWN...who thought of that price..??

droid#83853 · Mar 4, 2007

Well, you know...inflation.
I agree too high, but what I want to know is if anybody has bought one. That way I can go rob them because they must excessive cash laying around to blow it on that thing.

Gearbanger 101 · Mar 4, 2007

Huh....for that price, you'd think it would include free shipping. What a rip!

BennyBlown2v · Mar 4, 2007

It also has alot of custom parts - like the dampners, etc. Has full data acquisition too... There was a TV show special (discovery or TLC or something) where they chronicled the setup of the first turnkey S197 race car, it was cool, and really showed how much testing, setup, and changes they had to do to make stuff work.

still not worth that by far.

Thats just because you couldnt afford it

Its a turn key race car, its not a street car. Hell I doubt its even street legal. How much do you guys think it costs to build a flat out race car that is legal to run in whatever race series those are designed to be run in.

+1000

geoffsgt · Mar 4, 2007

So what's the average price on a brand new Grand Am series turnkey race car?

To make yall feel better, there's a seller on ebay (57 rating, 100% positive) selling #23/25, never raced, for $80,000.

He's also selling a Ferrari 360 Challenge (Modena race car), raced 11 times. Current bid, after 13, is $84,999.

Edit: And didn't the FR500C mop the floor with the competition in the 2005 Grand Am Cup series?

Yes, it did.

Dope 97GT · Mar 4, 2007

i used the "report an error" button for the price....cmon even if you put 20k into the engine thats still only around 60k you tell me the other parts on the car are worth 65k yeah right.

it lists STEERING
# Steering Rack: Ford rack and pinion
# Power Steering: Ford hydraulic

....like thats something

way overpriced.

BennyBlown2v · Mar 4, 2007

Guys...this isn't as simple as gutting a street car and selling it...this is a RACE CAR...race cars cost BIG MONEY! Granted I'm sure they are cheaper used, but these things regularly sell for 90+

Dope 97GT · Mar 5, 2007

could someone explain what is so race car about it...i see a fuel cell and a roll cage safety equipment and some seats listed in the mods. The suspension stuff looks like stuff you could do yourself and it says its all FRPP. Maybe im missing something then

still 90k is way different than 130k by a lot actually.
