Having just recently completed the car & driven it a few times, I have come to the sad conclusion that I have built a car I will not be able to enjoy. A car with this much power requires a driver who can operate it without having to worry about jabbing his legs into the turn signal & door.
The guy spends $250K and it doesn't have any comfort?

I agree,, you'd think he'd have the tub rebuilt for him to fit in it.

You would think a guy with that much money would be smart enough to know if he was going to fit in the car before he dumped 250 grand into it! som people just don't make sense I guess!

Heck, maybe it's another ebay scam!

Seriously... The guy fits in a VIPER, but not the 'Vette. Granted, the Viper has a little more room.... Has anyone else ever driven a Viper? I drove a '94, and weighed 170lbs. The seat REALLY hugged me. One of my ex-girlfriends had an '80 Vette, and it felt more width-comfy...

Who knows, right? Some people just have TOO MUCH MONEY!

I drove a buddies viper once and it was DAMN tight. I'm a big guy at 6'3" 220 or so and I could barely drive it. No way I would buy one just for that reason.

Now the 911 I fit really good in, just big enough!

There is no way that there is more than $240,000 invested in that car, no way!

hey! my friend had one almost exactly like that! except his was red, and had a big ol' cowl instead of a cut hood. 750 straight motor and 1050 on nitrous. had the same twin magnachargers too. he ended up giving it to his 16 year old daughter as her first car, few months later (alas) she totaled it...

From the looks of it, someone just completly took him. I can't tell if he did it himself, but come on, 17 coats of paint?? a whole buncha things look like he just paid someone a huge amount of money to do it without regards to the complete package.

Still wouldn't mind having it. I might drive down and look at it...
