Details about Meridian Edition TT

I saw this Twin Turbo on ebay:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=10156

Other than the ugly wing, car doesnt seem that bad. Price seems to be more than fair, power seems to be slightly exaggerated as they probably cranked up the boost. Anyone know information about the car as one of my partners is interested in it. Thank you.

I saw this car at the Beverly Hills Car Show at Mercedes this summer.

The fit of the body parts, the front bumper in particular, is not the best. My deduction was that if they don't even ensure good panel fit then how much care went into the performance related work?

If I remember correctly the car makes a claimed 1.3 bar before 2000 RPM.

The Meridian guy I talked to also claimed it was his car. He said the car had, listen to this, K 25 Turbos. Now, I thought that was STRANGE. So I said: "K 25 or T 5?" He responded K25. Have you ever seen K 25 turbos?

Nothing like taking a nice Porsche 911 and making it look like a ricer.
That is the god-awful ugliest rear wing I have ever seen.

I like it. Looks raw and sporty. Of course, pics are smallish, but car looks good. Wing matches the rest, and it's got the hp to back it up ... me likey.

That car uses GIAC Stage 4GT with a custom program to run 1.5bar. That's how they claim the high HP figures.

As for the rest of the car, no comment. If you know your head from your ***, the choice should be easy whether to buy this car or not.

I know it's all wrong ... for just about anything. Not many really sweet cars with a V6 (only the NSX comes to mind right now)... but I didn't do it myself, I stole it from ... some place I don't even remember ... so I have no clue as to how making it a flat ... or a V12
