The car put down 448hp and 408tq to the rear wheels with a slipping automatic transmission, which has since been replaced. I'd venture to guess it'd put down a decent bit more power now.

The car runs great when it warms up. If you want it to run good right from the start, a new tune is in order, as the fuel tables for the cold tune seem to be off. It starts and idles well after about 1 second of giving it a small amount of throttle. The car is pretty damn fast for the street. I hadn't driven it in a while and it scared the crap out of me. Going about 35 and dropping a gear usually will make the car start to go sideways, but with a decent driver, that can easily be corrected. I say that just to point out the low-end power this car has. I have owned this car since 2004, and it has been modded since December of 06, but rarely ever gets driven. I probably put 5 miles on it in a 6 month period, typically, which brings me to the reason I'm selling it. I just don't drive the thing. I'm so busy with work and extracurriculars that I just don't have the time to enjoy it anymore. I figure I might as well sell it to get something out of it. It's priced low because I don't want to deal with the BS of haggling and pushing a sale.
What the car needs:
Probably a cold-start tune if you actually want to drive it daily
A/C if you want that, which can usually be found for $200
The rear quarter panel on the driver's side was hit while the thing was in a parking lot. I can get it fixed for you if you're willing to pay extra.
One of the headlight motors needs to be replaced.
Will need new rear tires before too long.
Feel free to ask me any questions via email, as I check it often on my phone, or just text me.
