Second this car is out of the country, its right hand drive, and would i be able to license this thing to drive in Pa. Also if i were to consider buying this car, it might be on the idea of PARTING it out, if that would be my intention what interest could i expect in reasonably selling off these parts. I know this is probably not the normal first post but i am considering buying this car, or actually trading what i have for this car. And lastly is there anybody that would be interested in helping me check this car out at the docks in NJ, to make sure it is what its supposed to be, id be willing to pay for this service. Thanks

Here are the specs for this car...
I can tell you that the specs do seem appropriate for that horsepower level.

i have to agree with pwpanas, on that. It seems like all the parts could put out 1000+hp but with cars that have this kinda power it would mean that the past owner has cut the longevitity of the 2jzte (i'm guessing thats the engine used) in half. Also why would he sell a RHD car to a person in a LHD country?

Questions i have...How many miles on the engine? Do you have any pictures?Why is the seller selling it?

There is pics of the car on another site, why is he selling it, not sure he claims he wants to get into drag racing and dose not want to cut up this car, the car is immaculate, and is supposed to have 500 miles on it and 500 miles on the motor, and it looks like it. He dosnt want to nessesarily sell it strictly over hear, i think there is no market over there for his car, over hear seems to be more import influence.

Not necessarily. It depends on how hard he's driven it *after* he built it. Most likely that 500 miles has only been for break-in.
