Built from a real six with lots of special attention and parts.
Cost $370k to build....makes me feel a lot better about the cost of my build. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif)
2.8 liter 311hp engine
You get the drift...

Would be fun to take this one around block.
I'd like to experience the acceleration this car supposedly is capable of.

We build $200K+ cars at the shop. Not 2x more fun than a $100K car but the parts really do add up quickly. One of our customers told me today he has 37 cars. Unlike me, even a $200K car is probably a smaller percentage of his net worth than the 2007 used Honda CRV I bought for my son. I do try to drive the shop cars any chance I get. They are made to drive. Trying to get in the 962 but thats a long shot. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

The neat thing is I can do a 914 with a 300+hp 993 motor for a lot less. Won't be the same car but I'll be satisfied.

For some odd reason I bought a copy of Superyachet World over the weekend, heck I cannot even afford to waste $300 on a plastic kayak yet I was drawn to spend $9 on this magazine. The amount of money on these things is mind boggling. Winning the Megamillion lotto still wouldn't give one enough money to buy and maintain most of the ships in this thing.

So yes there are people with money that the normal person cannot understand or come to grips with.

Wonder what modification "Orange Crush" is "missing" to make the people with Singer type of budgets want this car?

Does it need better marketing to let prospective buyers know how rare or special it is?

Is it special enough or is it too close to your dare I say standard cookie cutter 914 GT recipe? No CF roof or CF fenders or a 500hp 4-valve air cooled motor like the what is supposed to be being built for some new Singer builds.

The 911 body. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

To me it's a very expensive cookie cutter. Sure the car is nice, but it's pretty tame. Lots of cool little touches, but nothing that really makes you go wow like the Singer engine, etc. For a heavily modifed car at this pricepoint I would expect more.
