Man.... thats crazy, why dont you get a used R33 GTR for 30-40k and put the rest into mods?. Or get a 04' E55AMG which can make high 11s 1/4 stock?. Thats what I would do if I have the money. Anyways, good luck with your project man....

$75k!!!! OMG!!....that is...rediculous. I have seen that thermal paint tho. Really worth it. You should try n get some for your models. Keep up the good work on those. They don't look too bad without clear.

muchly apprectiated guys...thanks for the comments....n yea man i thought bout gettin a nicer car for 30-40, even 50 but i dunno...wanted a convertible, got this one cheap cuz my aunts dad passed on...got it last winter for 13000 with only 39000 km on it (i'm in ontario lol)...so i kept the convertilble...n i have my sports car, the eclipse...gonna trade it so i'll be happy enuf with that y'know....but yea next summer i'll be postin pics of the sebring when all the mods are done...it'll be in there for 6-7 months

Spending 75K on a Sebring is about as retarded an idea as I have ever heard...

how is it retarded...cuz its not ur car of choice?...go onto cardomain.com n look under sebrings, you'll see lots of people that have done it...so wut am i supposed to do, go n soup up a honda civic, or a cavalier, or a eclipse n all that...ones that u see around all the time? i prefer bein unique, where u drive around and it'd be once in a blue moon u'd see another person with this car souped up...its all abbout unique and customizing skill, not about the car buddy

Still, 75000 is a little excessive.
Just build something rare.

Eg 440 cuda, not many of them around anymore.

not a fan of the muscle cars tho...like i like the charger, n the gto, but thats bout it...i dunno i guess i just want sumthin that isn't often used, and is a convertible, so when i got this one for cheap thru a family member i figured i might as well y'know...i have thought of getting sumthing else, but i really like this car, so i'm gonna work with it...girls love it too ;) lol
