1) You can't. There is really nothing that scream track toy over lightly street modded to me.

2) Would need more info for the tuning gurus to help but beyond the 7,800 redline a similar tune is probably on half the cars out there. The mods are very common and not even remotely extreme.

3) The price is about right. The only reason I would return it is if you can't get over the concerns. I will say again none of that list is an issue and most certainly in no way confirmation the car has ever seen a track.

4) Reddit is the WORST place to get info on these cars. Well, Facebook is close. I am not going to go read it but predict it is full of "experts" with all sorts of hogwash speculation and outright bullshit.

Relax, drop the redline, fill up with 93 and enjoy the small gains in HP all those base mods get you.
