The car is great, and you guys did a good job. Sadly I cannot respect the owner cause he/she went out, ordered a brand new car, dropped it off with wrappers still on it and had like 25 grand of work done to it...kind of lame. Makes the car a off the shelf, cookie cutter car - not special.

Sadness

I understand this. I enjoy building my car slowly and feeling each upgrade. But some people like it all done at once. Kinda like Binge watching.

I love binge watching If the owner had enough money to do this then I would think they have very limited time and/or other projects on the go. I think it comes with the territory IMO.

I just like to sit back and enjoy the car and pictures, as I would never commit the money to do that unless I won the lotto.

I hear ya, but different strokes for different folks. Some people just want a nice car and don't have the know how to do it on their own, nor the patience to do it bit by bit.

And I would guess that the price tag was way over 25 grand

Haha yeah you are right, 25 was me being very conservative. I guess there is 25g in just parts!

Good point. I'd have kept my eyes peeled for a used Stingray and paid about the same.

I will text the owner and see if he has an Instagram account. The motor now has a forged motor and I honestly don't remember what all has changed over the past year. I tuned the car a couple of months back and I remeebr the owner was going back and forth on the idea of upping the boost or swapping to a turbo kit.
