Here is a example of a proper spec car being offered at a fair price. This is nearly the same spec as my car,GTD, and my cost to build it will be nearly the same as the asking price of this completed car. This is a good reference point for those of you who what to know what these cars cost.
This car will not stay for sale for long. Oh and I don't know the owner or the car firsthand. Nice job by the way could you post some more pictures?

For all of you "lurkers" out there! This sounds like and looks like a nicely done 40. Probably an honest 330HP and a finished car. I have built several GTD's to a very similar spec. I can tell you that they cost me that much to build. The labor is free to you. Being a New Zealand spec car, it is probably right hand drive - if not it is an even better deal! Nicest thing about this unit is that it seems to have a good brake system!
