Depends on lots of things but any hop up item taxes the engine..NOS only taxes when you hit the buttom....seems that car was built to be taxed...seems overpriced to me in todays economy....

The smell of hypocrisy is in the air... how many saw the rant after rant in the "burn out" thread how all these cars are all gotten onto at some point or another and cars made to race/beat on are made to take it and that should not effect sale value at all....

All that is subject to how it was built and how it was beat on and I believe that in many cases a car beat to death could still "look" good,

Even if the car in this thread was claimed to have never been beat on I still believe the price is about double what todays economy will yield.....Time will tell.

It's overpriced and beat. Please pass on this crate or bolts ! Looks like it was painted with a mop as well.
