That description is halarious!!!!
"Not even V8’s could keep up with it. I won every race except for the one with a jaguar"
"even while turning corners at 70 mph without slipping tires or leaning"

We should all start emailing this kid questions about his car.... Then we can post responses!

I just emailed the kid:

"WOW, that car seems really cool. If I buy it and do those things you talked about "legally" could I beat a Ferrari? I like Ferraris but this car seems more practical, and is just as fast. Plus no one would ever suspect it until I blow them away! Thanks for the info!"

Let's see what he says!

Maybe he has a few brain cells still firing after all! This is his response to my email above:

"I love ferraris also but I'm sure you already know there is no comparison. Yarnelldog................"

Hmmm, New motor, but doesn't have any idea how much mileage on it. I would've fixed the thermostat myself for $20.
Can you say, "shafted"?

I emailed him too ... of course, I have a little more of a supercilious style, as I'm sure you have all noticed through reading my posts ....

"This is by far the dumbest 'advertisement' I have ever seen. You are almost as stupid as the civic people who believe they're car is fast. Just to let you in on a little secret, your "V8 Killer" has 124 hp. That is pathetic. The slowest V8 I can think of, has double that amount. The only reason you "won" a 'race' with ANY V8, was because he/she did not notice the POS next to him was 'racing'. Get a grip on reality and stop watching the Fast and the Furious as much. Go test drive a corvette, camaro, firebird, stang ... learn what a real car is capable of, then edit your advertisement. The reason nobody is bidding is because they're all too busy laughing at your blatant stupidity."

Hopefully I get a response:

"Wow, nice car. Is it street legal? I'm interested, but my parents say I have to get a car that is street legal.
Will it beat my friend's mustang cobra?"

The funny thing is, I used to own one of those POS's. I finally decided to give it to charity when it was on it's last leg. Maybe I should've given my Z28 to charity instead and kept that golden gem V8 killer...
