560 Hp Wrx For Sale

This WRX is insane. The seller is selling the car 34k+ without reserve on eBay. It look awesome! (except the spoiler).

EDIT: I'm not trying to help the seller to sell this car.

Where did you get 560 hp? The ad says 439 tops (with NOS).

Edit: Nevermind, I see it at the top of the ad. But he describes in the ad that the peak is 439.

Probably produces 560 hp at the fly, and 439 max at the wheels.

It's still a sick car..

Did I miss something, the motor isn't built? I would guess if thats the case he's never ran the nitrous though the motor, something doesn't add up there.

What a joke! I wouldn't give that guy 20K for that thing. My WRX was way way better than that thing, more exotic, not nearly as fugly in the front, and nobody wanted to buy it for 25K.

Those lights look like dog **** too. Sti GDB headlights are the only viable option for the bug-eyes.

No transmission work? Man, what a POS. That gearbox will explode under any acceleration.

I am not seeing a 90K investment.

Keep in mind that that Brain Storm dyno reads notoriously high as well. A very high reading dyno.

This guy is living a pipe dream if he thinks that somebody is going to buy a stock bottom-end, stock transmission WRX for anything aver $17,000. Especailly not with exotic fast a$$ cars like the STi and Evo available.

He would be better off parting it out and selling the stock car.

Besides the fact that the car is just ugly with ugly headlights, front bumper and rear wing, the paint looks stock. If your gonna paint the car for show then at least make it look different than OEM. Plus, a WRX isnt 30k to start with and there is no way there is 60k in mods on that car unless you consider the one off body kit and the money needed to design and construct a one off. Frankly, id say its worth 30k but if anyone pays 60k plus for that, they are out of their mind.

560HP, where the heck did you get that from 439WHP, that is a gigantic drivetrain loss. I know all wheel drive cars lose more to wheels, but not that much. Try more like 500-520HP.

Isn't there something like a 15% loss in the drivetrain? I'm not sure, but my numbers work out to 476 whp at 15%
