From the above, we can gather a bunch of info about OP

- owns a sports car
- used to own a 92 Sentra
- current DD is 95 Nissan Tsuru aka Sentra
- OP is around 46 years of age with a EVOC
- OP claims to be a good driver, but admits to breaking the law by driving slightly over the speed limit...which is OK because he has EVOC and performance driving training and is able to handle pressure situations
- OP currently holds a sales position and has a university education.


damn OP...tell us more about yourself.

What do you eat for breakfast?

It still has brembo brakes, but those 6 piston calipers from a 2011 CTS-V, rotors.... 14 inches Z06, wheels.... 18" 'Vette. and that's just the front. Engine mods include ridding the ignition of the POS Optispark distributor and replacing that with a LS1 coil on plug ignition, LT4 Heads and intake. As for suspension, BMR tubular control arms and bilstein shocks on all 4 corners, and as for a WRX doing the same in the 1/4... ummm nope.

You modified one of 8 cars in existence? Your not a bright cookie are you?

If indeed it was one of the 8 cars to reach production/road use then I hate to tell you its worth a HELL of a lot more than 15k. Not to mention if it has the sero kit then its worth even more as only 3 of those were true production cars.
But judging by what you have done to it, you own a old Camero with a knock off bodykit and some bolt ons taken from better vehicles.

And a stock 96 WRX ran a near 13 flat back in 96. Now if we modify that car the same as you have done then, yes, its still faster....and worth more.....and would ignite the fury or envy rage amongst the most mundane of minivan drivers.

more like 55 supernatural C8 Camaros and an unknown number of Supernatural Firebirds, for pricing check out the Callaway registry, not worth a whole lot of cash.

Your right, they don't.....and thankfully I dont get people envying me in my "sports car" ......but one things for sure. 99.9% of the folks around here would rather see/hear/talk about my glorified Toyota than some dude who thinks all the soccer moms are out to run his sports car off the road

Personally I would have gone with.


More of an "insult" towards me. Seeing as I'm not bragging about my car here or anywhere else for that matter.
