I thought "boy, this guy can't spell tranny" then I realized he couldn't spell anything.

Is his name really "Danney" or did he get that wrong as well?

It "has not a clean title". Maybe a typo for "has got a clean title"? Nope. It's this guy's clever way of saying that it has a salvage title.

I kind of like it. Never heard of the car before, but if you want to sell a machine for twice the price of an Exige, it needs to beat it in at least one category like looks/handling/speed/cache department. Which the makers elected not to do.

I'm pretty sure that 425HP and over 330 ft/lbs of torque is going to beat an Exige's straight-line accel and speed.

It looks like the only things on there that would count as a "rebuilt engine" are the heads and throttle body. Maybe the timing chain. Everything else is some cheap part that would have been easy to replace anyway.

I hate it when ricers talk about their SWEET BUILT ENGINE BRAH when in actuality they've replaced things like spark plug wires and the air filter but left the actual block untouched.

It's because the people who were 10-year-old kids in the first part of the 90s are now in their mid-20s, and at the perfect age to finally buy that sports car they saw once.
