How so? He did the MOST IMPORTANT THINGS you can possibly do- suspension, tires & brakes; which is PERFECT for a daily driven car with potential for more power later on (or not). You seem awful hung up on 'go'... when in actuality, there is nothing more terrifying than a car with big power; but no means to control or STOP effectively.

See above- Looks was only part of the equation.

Go buy a 240 and do the very same things thins guy did- Let us all know the final tally. BTW, he paid $3500 for the 240; which is peanuts by today's standard.

^^Not too far over? Jesus Brad... If I set a 7G budget and ended up at 8, I'd feel like the king of the world haha... This guy did GREAT!
Fro obviously has a LOT of discipline; and his build definitely shows it! Props~
My original budget was $5G when I got the 180...
