two of my friends just got one last week. i hung out with 4 gtr's saturday night. I feel poor and slow with my cts-v. anyways...i don't think they were ever $40 brand new. They were closer to $80. I couldn't see the link you posted, but when my friends were shopping, it was very rare to find anything under $65 used. The one that was found under $65 wasn't under warranty anymore.

I got to ride in two of them saturday night. They are ridiculously fast! The electronics on that thing is insane. The car pretty much drives itself though. But it definitely got my adrenaline pumping.

There are definitely other cars I would buy at that price range! If you are paying that much for dodge/chrylser, it better be a viper.

i didnt think there was any way to tune those cars yet? imo they are way overpriced , nice cars but not that nice, you could have a low mileage c6z and have a good bit of money left over, about the gtr i did ride in one, it was pretty modded , holy hell was that thing a rocket,
