Are Kia’s and BMW’s going to share a grille in a generation or two?

No worries.  I’ll see you at the track in my C8 Corvette.  Both of us in our imaginary cars.

valid points. I dont get going this route to save 50lbs...the justification doesnt quite add up. I still voted NP. He might have the 6 speed in the shed. 

Cayman to say the same thing.

The M96 engine is probably worth $10-15K by itself. 

I usually agree with that sentiment, looking at Carfax it it appears the middle range for this year and model is somewhere between 9000-11000 dollars with some listings over or under by 1 or 2 thousand. I think to the average buyer they look at the price and go to a better priced listing but on the flip side if you…

Agreed; from what I can tell, seller sunk a ton of money into thoughtful mods, and the end-result is a nicely-done, well-maintained example of a Porsche hotrod.

But could you put together an equivalent example for $15k? I’m thinking no.

At 15k I don't think he's marked up nearly enough to get mod money back, looks to be way more sunk into it. I'd also want a very thorough inspection done, but from what I see I think it's a NP.

h sure the trans may be 50lbs lighter... but theres a reason the beefer 6 speed was 50lbs heavier... mainly because it was designed to take more power.

This is borderline. With that many modifications, I’d want a very in-depth and professional inspection by someone I trust. And even then, I’d probably say “nah” and find something else.

I'm trying to understand if your cheese grater pun was intentional 🤔

Truly a grate car.

I literally learned of the existence of this by finding one on a Carmax lot just a few months ago. It was quite refreshing. We need more 2+2 performance/touring cars from non-German brands.

I’m actually surprised by how many of these I see on the road. It’s refreshing to see people buy expensive not-SUVs. Like automotive eye-bleach.

You have chosen your object of desire wisely. I’ve driven 430s on a track. They are lively, usable, fantastic cars.

Not ever owning an S2000 is one of my great automotive regrets.

Counterpoint: Honda knew how to make an attractive car. Ferrari did not.
