Gauging interest in my 13 Grandsport LSX 1127 RWHP
SO, I am wanting to maybe sell the car sometime in the next 4-6 months MAX. I bought this car new, and now it still only has under 10K miles on it. The short story is it has a built diff with 1000 HP axles, and carbon fiber drive shaft, built 6 speed transmission with centerforce DYAD clutch, and a fully built LSX engine in stock cubes with a F1X making 1100 RWHP. The car also has full leathr interior.. Caravaggio seats, APSIS steering wheel and airbag, DD mods door panels and center console, as well as fully covered dash in leather. All with double baseball stitching in red. I probably spent 50-60K on all the mods, and interior. Even has sway bars, and upgraded shocks, as well as pads and two piece rotors. The car runs on 93 pump and meth.
So NADA says the car retails for about 48K... With these sort of mods, and power, what would someone consider paying for the car? I want to ask 70K, but what would someone pay realistically? Would someone here be interested in a car like this?

As you know, your market is going to be pretty specific for a custom-built car like this. I'm sure you have at least what you said you have in it, but even if _you_ know it was built right, the market of buyers willing to purchase such a high-HP car is relatively small.
No matter what you ask, it will take some time to sell... I'm sure you have that figured out.
Has the car been to the track? For a wild build like this, racers want to see track numbers as much as dyno #s. The driveline may be sorted, but knowing what it runs down the strip or 1/2 mile, 1 mile is pretty important, so if you've done that, I would post those #s.
As far as $$$... I think anything over $60-65k will be a stretch. I'm not in the market, so I'm not trying to talk you down or anything like that. Honestly... it is going to depend on how quickly you want to sell it.
Good luck. It is a great car and an awesome build.

Seen a few 1100+ hp cars come through here, just takes time to move um, but they get sold. Up to a year most times.

Its a really nice car. The horsepower draws me to it, but I know what comes with it. I have to figure out what I want to do. Been there and done that. They are expensive to buy, and hard to get rid of and cost money to maintain. But it looks to be legit and I love the seats. Had a set in the vette I sold a few years ago.

Hey guys.. so the throw out bearing in the car is out and making noise... It is now for sale. 40K as is. Clutch still holds power fine, but does need to be opened up for either a pilot bearing or throw out bearing. Car has 11K miles. Can be driven onto a trailer.
