Very nice car for sure but I'd spend a fraction more of the asking price on a Nissan GTR or a R34 V-Spec.

And it will be for sale quite a while longer if that's what he wants,not taking away the fact that it is a lovely car but you must be realistic.
A waste of a pistonheads ad fee in my eyes..

Cheaper to buy a UK STI and mod it to 500bhp yourself.

HOLY SH*T way over priced, modding cars never adds value unless its a full blown track/rally car but you still wouldn't get anywhere near what you spend on it lol

Another fool who thinks he can get every penny back he has spent on the car.
This has never been the case with a standard production car that anyone else could build with available parts for the same money.

It must be no one off here (which I find odd) or he would of commented to justify his high price you would imagine..

Sounds to me like he doesn't want to sell it.

Either that or he's completely deluded. Would probably be cheaper to build that spec from scratch.

That's crazy pricing.

NS04 almost tempted me with his a couple months ago, which was almost a similar spec, but priced at almost half of that!
