You don't.



The end. This car is light-years ahead of 99% of all third-gens I’ve ever seen…

It's okay, but not worth even close to 80k. I'd maybe consider giving 15k. Like other people mentioned, why a vert drag car? There's no point, you might say to be different, but it might as well be a coupe with that hideous rollcage. The cowl hood is way too huge, and like GodSpeedGTA mentioned, half the body panels are misaligned. No expense spared eh? You'd think the guy coulda gotten the panels to line up. If I wanted to build an all out drag car I'd just pick up an old nova or something instead of wasting 80k on that.

But I probably don't know what I'm talking about because I don't agree with you right?

I was thinking to myself " big whoop, a 3rd gen vert drag car " but then I saw the picture of the rear of the top in the up position, exposing the rear of the cage and WOW...that's awesome. It's not necessarily my style, because when I have a vert, I want it to be a VERT, not have a million bars over my head which to me is worse than having a fake convertible (sun roof). BUT, i wouldn't complain if it were mine because it's got a lotta ***** backing it up

who the hell cares if the body panels don't line up. that's probably because the car has ***** so big it bent the door panels out of place. 15k? for 15k you can probably get a 5L camaro supercharged. that's about it.

the fact that all you poses can complain about is the fact the gfx doesn't line up... hah... who cares, so buy it and align it. obviously the car has its value in the parts, not the gfx alignment.
