How much do you think it would cost to have this baby brought to the US?

ALOT!

 

Regarding shipping, it really depends on which method you decide to you ship this car. There are 2 options available: (1) roll on/roll off, that means you "roll" the car on the cargo ship and then ship it here. This method is cheaper but maybe damage you car on the way here. (2) Container, the name says it. The car is shipped in the container in secured fashion. The cost of the shipping is about $800-1000 for the first method and maybe doubled for the second one. I called shipping company during my research, so you might find cheaper deals.

However, you'll also need someone to handle the importation for you (if you decide to wait at the port, that's another matter ) They will handle all importation, clearing the custom, all need paperwork for you on a commission basis. That's another $200-400.

However, the MAIN concern is not the things mentioned above. It's the registration of this car. If you want this to be a race car, that's fine. If you want to register this as a street legal car, you'll have to find an RI to convert it to fulfill the DOT and EPA requitement (collision test and emission test).

Check with the Evolution Import or some other importers (TAD) for more info. Good Luck

 

from personal experience, you can only get cars out of Japan shipped in a container, my last cost was $1500.00 USD

I emailed the guys at evolution imports and they said it would be cheaper for them to buy the car. They said a RS-2 would be $55,000.
