    I am looking to purchase a 1998 GTP Coupe, with 150,000 miles. The list of mods that the owner claims are:

    - wheels and tires
    - PCM (no rev limiter, no speed cut off, speed shift control, auto adjust injectors depending on speed)
    - crosse drilled fronts
    - 3inch exhaust front to back
    - fully wired for after market audio (got stolen but have DVD and CD changer)
    - short air intake
    - 3.5 pulley (12lbs of boost)

    A few questions I have for you owners are how reliable is this car with 150,000 miles on it. I also like to drag race so I was wondering what kind of numbers I should be expection. As you can probably tell from my S/n I own a Sentra SER SpecV and with every bolt on known to man for it, the best time I have been able to manage is a 9.38 in the 1/8th mile. Anyway I also want to know if its worth it to buy and for how much. Thank you in advance.

    give him $3500 for it, as far as times of gtps, its how much you wanna spend, there are alot of vendors on here (TDCRACING) that have the hookup on great parts for cheap, all you need to run mid 13's is like $2k in parts MAYBE.

    Thank you for the information, I'm still wondering if its worth it as far as reliability. Also what times can I expect with the mods it already has?

    probably like low 14's with a good driver. They are reliable, they have issues like any other car, if its got 150k and you want to race it i would suggest a freshen up of the motor and maybe trans
