This depends entirely on how it’s tuned.

Consider my hat tipped. 

If you are going to rip out the turbo, you might as well just buy a stock one for the same price or less. 

So close... vetted by a Vette vet

I’m guessing the previous owner spent the $40k and the current owner cheaped out on the cap damage.

i’m kind of leaning towards this guy isn’t the one who paid for the upgrades but maybe did cause the front end damage when those 650 ponies out ran those stock brakes... sounds like the seller was power hungry on a budget and could look past the little fixes in exchange for the thrill he got from going full rabbit all…

Methanol injection is quite common in the aftermarket for turbo vehicles, and is there to cool the charge, not give it a nitrous style boost, like the article implies. The methanol mixture is actually half water.

Crazy amounts of fun, mid to high amount of risk, I think the price accurately reflects the fun-to-kaboom ratio. You definitely need to have this car thoroughly looked over by a Vette specialist (a vet for Vettes?) before coughing up the cash though. NP. 

As a divorced, 40-something white guy, this should be right up my alley. But nah. NP I suppose, but not for me.

I’m willing to bet this guy just assumes anybody working in a Toyota or Honda plant is Japanese. 

He held the SHIFT key to make those uppercase, and failed.

Japanese built toyota IS a selling point to be fair.

Nearly 35 years old, still CP

When I got to “the current coat is just a cheap job that, according to the seller, could be pressure-washed off.”

i think it ticks both of those boxes, to be honest.

I knew a guy who was the getaway driver for a 7/11 robbery wearing his football jacket with his name on it

I didn’t listen to the audio, but I would think a bike being a good choice is highly dependent on what you’re getting away from. If you’ve just stolen something that doesn’t handily fit in a backpack, or is very heavy/unwieldy, good luck getting away on a bike and/or not crashing. OTOH, if you’re reenacting The Place…

dont be like my friend mike, from high school, who thought it would be a good idea to rob a bank and make a run for it in his mid-60's bright red corvair.

If you’re in Silicon Valley, a Tesla model S.
