80lbs lighter for $10k? Is that all?!
Tested: 2021 Porsche 911 Turbo S Lightweight Is a Near-Hypercar
The Lightweight package removes 80 pounds to create the quickest 911 ever.www.caranddriver.com
I know it's gas and kills the environment and all but
Fill up a regular turbo to 1/4 tank of gas and you got the same thing
Ahem...

This is a fun thread. During my hiatus from the internet I picked this up right as COVID hit when dealers were begging people to come in and buy cars and proceeded to begin modifying it. So far its making for an excellent kid and bike hauler.

Hey Now. I resemble that comment.

Me and Stoney were also in that club.
Mine was a ‘02 bugeye. VF34 @ 21 psi or so, FMIC with a nitrous fogger to cool it, UTEC with flat foot shifting and launch control, STI RA gears, coilovers.
It was a loud, unreliable piece of shit really. But it was fast.
Perfect vehicle for a young man...
Due to a thread on another site, I recently remembered how my 04 would somehow leak fuel from the manifold when it was cold, causing a strong fuel smell in the cabin. You just lived with it, brain damage and all.
rad. I still own and drive my tuned hawkeye wagon. It has over 220k on it and still starts up whenever I ask it to. Owned it since it had 7 miles on it. Daughter wants it now. If it keeps going for another 2 years it’s hers. Love that little car so much.

Bring An Enclosed Car Carrier.
What a cunt.
Largely OEM 04 FXT, but that oem came off an 06 STI. So FXTi on Koni struts. Engine was STI intake all the way back. Died when the power borked the 5-speed gearbox.
[Call from new owner as he's starting his car in SLC heading back to OR] "hey uh... What's that gas smell?"
"Oh yeah, fuel intake hose needs to be replaced. $15 hose, just a pita to get to, but totally doable by yourself. If you can't find one, get a screw clamp for the drive home."
That can't be a legit bid...
BaT be crazy.
It is. Barrett Jackson had one cross the Auction Block for 90k last year. Seems to be the fact the cars are scarce.
Is just a strange transaction. Barrett actually had had a sale in the mid 60's a few years ago. Bring a Trailer then sold one of these for over 80k.
Can remember hearing this car has a great balance to it while not the quickest or the fastest in a straight line. Like the S2000 Honda, it provided an overall driving experience.
But the typical buyer does not seem to appreciate things for what they are, only for what they are not... so they insist. Coil Over Shocks, Liberty Walk Fender Flares, Turbo and NOS - then it's what the car maker had in mind. Right???

Sure, if you never drive it and keep it in a barn.
Who does that? People who can afford to buy two or not drive it because they have 10 other cars. There are lots of cars that if you didn't put any miles on would probably be worth 3x or more in 20 years.
The OG hot hatch.

I don't get it. There is a black C4 LT4 right now on BaT with like 21k miles. Clint up the streets has like 32k on his and half regrets buying it because he never drives it. My '94 had 148k on it when I rolled it and my C5 has just over 200k now. I have enjoyed the shit out of both, rain or shine.
My '01 was $48k new, I paid $14k with 72k miles on it. 1 clutch and 3 sets of tires later, I'll be lucky to get $7k. But it's been fun and I'll likely buy another. There are a lot undriven.
Corvette, Mustang as for Domestic retain value because of the ability they have to emulate the previous generation platform - powertrain and/or proportions. With Corvette recently doing mods to it also retain if not increase value - C4/C5 underpinnings on a C3 for example. You don't need to have this explained to you I'm sure.
Either way there's a tie in to a large market. Supra, Integra Type R for ex., Skyline, all are fine cars. Seems the 'tuner crowd' is what drives a market-cap type scenerio. I don't get it either. Am sure the Vic Edelbrock era of car tuning had the same oversight but there's no way there was such hype around getting an original 32 Coupe w/ a Flathead...
We'll see about this Sale - there's an ass for every seat.

If this sells for less than $20k with an Integra Type R going for over $100k, that would be weird. Clint is gonna be pissed because my guess is he paid close to $30k if not more for his with barely a few more miles.

supply/demand. No shortage of 90s corvettes out there. Less than 4000 type r were built. Between the two I would prefer the type r… but I wouldn’t pay that money for the privilege! Corvette at less than 20k seems like a deal.If this sells for less than $20k with an Integra Type R going for over $100k, that would be weird.
