sure you would save a load of money, but you never know if your buying somebody elses problem. i know personally, i would rather buy a car that is stock that i can do the work on myself so i know that its not a hack job.

sure not everybody does hack work on cars, but there are always that small few that take shortcuts to make power just to turn the car over. thats why i said that he should have an outside party take a look at the entire car from bumper to bumper and tire to roof.

11.8's on motor sounds sort of slow to me.
I don't like the front coil-overs either.
Really still, it don't sound that bad for $5500.
You can always change things around.....

Yea umm I know al that. That is why I said to look the car over and ask for proof of any claims. I can tell hacked car 99% of the time just by how the seller talks, looking it over tells me everything else.
