    Most people will see if and think "Hey! There's a Bugatti!"

    For 90k, I'd rather have a ZR1. Better yet, for 15k, build a badass Fox body that performs much better.

    Convert it to RWD or AWD and twin turbo it. But for that money you could build a GTM, smoke that car and look better all at the same time.

    It looks pretty damn good to me... I don't know if its worth 89k, but it is a 1 of 1 and would be a good starting place for someone who wanted to swap in say a TT LS7 or even the factory veyron motor from a wrecked car...

    Props the the guy for making that himself.

    That'd be great and all, but would involve another VERY expensive reworking of the car. The underpinnings of the car are a FWD v6 cougar. I don't think any LS motor will be going in there any time soon, or for that matter anything RWD.

    I know a guy doing a Turbo LS7 in a Lexus IS300, so anything is possible for the right price.

    IS300 is RWD at least. And they came with pretty stout transmissions stock.

    The car is all show and no go. The concept is right, but he REALLY could have picked a better underpinning. Like a C4, C5 vette.
