Popped the hood, lookin' good. Then he started it up, and I about shat myself.Remember, I've spent a good deal of time around imports. It's been probably a good 4+ years since I've been around a cam'ed V8 with exhaust. Thing sounded beautiful. There was NOTHING wrong with the way it was running. It has a Hurst shifter, some aftermarket clutch (didn't catch it), 3.73 gears. Took it for a drive, definitely a little tricky. Stalled on me a couple times (first time in a car like this). The thing HAULS, felt faster than the Z. But at about 4,750, it acted like it was hitting a rev limiter...I know these cars red line lower than I'm used to, but it looked like it went to 5500 at least. The guy told me I needed to use the clutch more or something...doesn't sound right, I wasn't shifting when it happened, I had the loud pedal on the floor. I had him drive it back to the house, and it looked like he was shifting at just below where I was having trouble.Well, I think I'm going to pass. AC wasn't hooked up, and it'll need cats for emissions. I'm sure that's all it would take, but having dealt with my fair share of car problems, I don't want to chance it. If I was buying a weekend racer, I'd be taking cash to him right now, he would have taken $2700.</blockquote>
