considering that you cant buy a car for 125k that would compete with that...id say its a fair price.

if i was rich and wanted a race car, that was done and ready for time attack...well...there it is.

personally, id rather a sick porsche or something...but that car is sick and i respect the custom work.

It is worth it. The amount of money to build that car was more than 125K. Sad part is that it is an Evo. Supra's with ridiculous power, fully built etc. have gone for 80K+. But for a Evo it seems like it's too much for people. Which sucks but it's the way it is. I could see that evo go for 70-80K to the right person though.

I agree top 5 best built evo period ams fabrication is second to none and they build the best project cars you could spend the money on a porsche and never see anything but the tailights of this car all day long or you could buy a car built for one thing and one thing only just to race.

That evo looks sick, but so does the price tag.

Someone from the Carribean, Europe or Middle East is gonna buy it. Less chances of it getting bought by someone living in America let alone an evom member based in the US.

Forgeline EV3R's with some crazy offsets. They make awesome custom 3-piece setups; I've got a set myself. Lots of little options you can add like titanium bolts to reduce weight.

As others have stated, its hard to comprehend just what went in to this build. This car was built for one purpose and everything was done to the highest standards. To see this car in pictures is one thing, but to actually see this car in person will leave you in awe. For those who are seriously into motorsport, the asking price is right on par for a well sorted out track car of that caliber. For someone to build that car from scratch, it would cost WELL over his asking price. Just my .02

Wow. I had to laugh though when you look at the interior shots, and the only stock-ish part left is the housing around the shifter!

Someone that would afford this car (as opposed to could) likely wouldn't waste the money signing up for an EvoM account. It would be cool to see it go to a smaller, US-based, competing group, with the mindset for using it for what it is --> a purpose built track car ready to compete with some of the big boys.

Very insane build!

As everyone has stated, the time, the fab work, this is not your standard evo buyer.... While I see the car selling closer to the $100k mark I hope it sells for the $125k.

This is truely one of the sickest evo's on planet and it is done to PERFECTION.

Good Luck with the Sale

All you have to do is dig up the old blue demon build thread, read through it and you know right then and there the price is fair. This is one the best built cars to ever leave AMS's garage doors.

For a track car, well worth it..
Probably will sell close to asking price.
