I already bet a buck in another thread that it wouldn't sell for $200K.
There's a write up and comparison to other modded supercars in a recent car magazine, and it was 2nd to the Hennesey (sp?) Viper in performance in that report.

Knowing its not the Z, will make your bet a safe one. Its only worth perhaps twice its initial price .... maybe 140 tops.

Some fool will give more no doubt for the LPE name, and one of kind status ... but, I can't see 200K.

I read the write-up in Motor Trend... The LPE is impressive, but not practical. I'm keep'n my Z.

Interesting remark made by MT... "It just goes to show you how incredible the Z06 truly is" (paraphrasing)

is this the same car that was in the motor trend tuner shootout? Even at the high 700rwhp level the car destroyed its differential once they put the drag radials on why would they raise the boost. Plus the driver reported that the boost came in violently and the car was very hard to drive. From the tests it was obvious the hennessey built viper was a superior car.

yeah the henn viper was better I must agree, I think LPE needs to redo that car and put some better thought into that car. How wide were those tires anyway?
