Yet the motor only cost $8800. Doesn't seem that much for a 660HP/9-sec, shop-built engine. I'm wondering where the rest of the money went.

He prolly took it to a place like West Coast Customs and they charged him and arm and a leg for some shotty work. Then took it to an engine shop and they overcharged him way to much for what he got......etc. Anyways I could make a car look way better than that with about $10k

If I saw that on the street, I'd think:

"WTF is that? Oh no someone riced out an old Z...good work on the paint job for a ricer though."

The exhaust is absolutely horrible. It looks like the just picked crap off the shelf at Rural King and slapped it together. I've helped Andy build WAY nicer exhaust systems in a barn out of swap meet scraps for little to nothing. I hope that's not where any of that 95k went.

For that kind of money, you should get a mailbox with a street address.

Well, except for the front bumper it's not a bad looking Z, It's just not that expensive of a Z.

The interior looks like crap. It's basically stock with a few colored inserts.

MMMMM, bacon . . . .

But yes, I'd rock it, LOL! Of course the Previous Owner would be UUUUPPPSEEETTTT cause I'd drift it. LOL!

I bet it runs and sounds MEAN, but I honestly don't believe anything I read on the interwebz and he would have to show me 95,000 dollars in VERIFIABLE receipts before I believe that you can drop almost 100k into a car that costs like 2 grand to buy.

95K and they used flexpipe in the exhaust ROFLMAO! 138mph trap speed is nice though, that's about the only thing going for it.

I guess with only a paltry $95k he couldn't get his car "unique" (@ enclosures with no speakers)

Yuck.

It just goes to show that having extra money does not automatically confer good taste.

It takes a lot to uglify the classic Z car shape and this guy has done it.

A very skillfully executed hideous paint job. But there's a lot else to dislike.
