$16500 is a steal. Someone should jump fast... I've driven the beast and its a whole lot of well thought out car for a fire sale price. No disappointments with this build. You can't build the chassis alone for what they're asking...

Hey Guys,

Spread the word. I'd love The Beast to go to a nice home that would appreciate what she is. I think she's priced pretty well considering what you get and how crappy the economy is.

It's heartbreaking in some sense to part with this car. She keeps coming back to me. But she's like a first love where life never quite aligns for you to get together. With me racing in Spec Boxster and working in a startup company, I just don't have the time, energy and storage to keep her.

A personal loss for me, but hopefully a car that someone can enjoy.

I'll forever love this car, but it's time for her to be driven!

You can see more pics here:

The Beast is no longer a car that can be street legal. It is a pure track/AX car now.
