It has a new engine and people say to pass? F that I'd take a look at it. There are plenty of people who mod their cars and take care of it. Just because someone adds performance parts doesn't mean its going to be a train wreck. In fact I'd actually buy one like that over stock. At least I know what's been done. Anyone can revert a car back to stock. As far as getting rid of a car "for a reason." People move on from platforms and many leave the GP scene for something different.

My car is "heavily modded", and is still perfectly reliable.. Well, at least it will be once I rebuild the trans.
