The SHO must go on. 

Very cool car, and I applaud the seller for getting it all together. Unfortunately, CP. 7 grand is just over the line for me on this, on what you actually get. 220 hp sedan with stick--cool, but you can find old BMW 3-series cars or probably some old Accord sports that rival that performance/ dollar ratio.

bring a trailer.

Your position is that its *lack* of power is one of its assets? And you would part with TWENTY EIGHT THOUSAND DOLLARs for this? You could buy a Lotus Esprit, or a Factory 5 Cobra with a v8, or an s2000, and you’re going with NP? Did the crack pipe burn your fingers? 

Yeah, I’m not seeing the mystery. It looks like a bog-standard 4 series. Maybe I’m missing something subtle. 

People who vote NP on this type of garbage are missing the requirement that you actually *think* about the price before voting. You must actually consider parting with twenty-eight THOUSAND dollars (and all of the other things you could have bought instead) to get this car. If readers stopped and considered that, then…

I’m reluctant to admit that I really like the idea of this. However, this execution is the most CP that ever CPed on the CPingest day of its life. Let me count the multiple failures: way under-powered donor engine; those wheels; dodgy import status; the price; those wheels; the lack of horsepower; that price; those…

3.0 liters in displacement, plus the equivalent of one extra liter being credited to the turbocharger. I’m serious, that’s the story that BMW went with when they uncoupled the numbers from displacement. 

One factor that separates muscle cars from other sporty cars, and that some drivers care about, is weight. A miata is about 2,000 pounds. An S2000 was 2,800. The BRZ twins are under 3,000. An e90 m3 was about 3,400 lbs. Lotus elise? About like a miata. c5 z06 vette? I’m pretty sure it was under 3,000 lbs.

I don’t disagree with you. It would be rational to cross-shop the Supra with the vette. If you spend new Supra money on the best ‘vette you can buy for that much, you will get MUCH more car & performance.

I like the cut of your jib. How about:

I read about 10 words and got to “Everett, MA” and did not need to read further. You were describing chaotic stupidity failure hell. There is a reason that psycho-thriller writer Denise Lehane wrote a pretty farked-up novel named Mystic River. There is a reason that disgusting sexual-assault guy Wynn built a casino…

Sorry all, but...

Right? Either the assembly lines in Ohio or South Carolina, or the corporate headquarters in Torrance, CA. These companies are more U.S. than GM or Chrysler. 

That car tastes like despair, and I don’t want this seller getting $3,000.00 of my money. CP. 

To those people saying NP on the basis of all the extra stuff they’d do to this car (custom fabricate parts, modify the engine for more ponies, remove emissions stuff, etc.)... with your proposed ideas, you are talking about > $13,000 car, not a $3,000 car. 

Set search to 1980s Mustangs, and you’ll get there pretty quick. 

I see the cool factor of this car, but the price just kills it.

What’s the airspeed of an unladen African Acura TLX PMC edition? 

Your pics reminded me, Acura has really stepped in it, consistently, with their grill. This time around, they are this close (finger pinch gesture). If only they had NOT put that oversized Acura logo in the center, it would have looked so good and potentially have landed on the brand-identifying grill that Acura has…
