I humbly stand corrected - thanks Meat.

I was thinking about the Avenger.
The Valkyrie is much rarer, and obviously
much more refined. Looking at the site
Meat posted, I see that people have put a
lot of money into the Valkyries (adding
a correct ZF!) to make them perform. So,
yes, $500 is a low ball figure. I'd still
hesitate to hit the $10K US mark though.
And, I fell the look is still too far off.
Unless a lot of work has been done to update
and improve the car already, you could spend
quite a bit to get the Valkyrie up to a
competitive level. For all that cash,
you'd still be better off buying a used GTD
IMHO.

But, if it's aready well set up, and you don't
mind the looks, and the price is reasonable,
it could definitely be a fun car to own.
