:frown:

hey for $125k I'd get a 911 turbo.

this car would smoke a 911 turbo, and would probably turn more heads.

although i'm not a fan of older/vintage style cars.

i may in fact choose the turbo too :Q

He sould specify that this is for the remake of "Gone in Sixty Seconds" and not the original movie.

A fully restored Shelby GT500 was just sold at auction by Barret-Jackson (they show re-runs of it on Speed Channel just about every day). I believe it sold for close to 200k. The neat thing about it is that it didn't have the original engine. Instead, it had a 'replacement' engine that was installed by the factory because the original was defective upon delivery. This engine (even though it is not 'numbers matching') was signed by Carroll Shelby himself stating that the engine is the 'correct and true' engine for that specific car. The auctioneers said that Shelby's signature may have added slightly to the final price but the fact that it was a 'proven' correct car is what really made the price skyrocket.

That is a definite must-see for any true muscle/classic car enthusiast!

Handling is boring, but I bet the porsche 911 would take it on a track :)

This car looks HOT.

I know a company out in Plano was making replicas for about $80K. I'm not sure what engine they dropped in it though. That's still a sweet ride. NAAAAAAAAAWS!!!!!!!

Wouldn't it be funny if someone won that auction and then Nicholas Cage stole the car and smashed it into stuff?

I assume the 500 hp is with the nitrous boost no? It doesn't matter, that's a sick sick ride. If you can afford that car, you can afford a new motor when you blow the first because of the N20 :D
