2009 JCW hockey star owned 315HP

I dont care who owned it. This price is crazy and so are the claims with no additional details.

If it's true, probably a GT28RS turbo car. Screw that.

Saw the same thing last night while I was farting around on ebay.

$55K for a 2009. Pfff... lol. I don't care who owned it. I was so tempted to send him a "Are you effing kidding?" memo through ebay.

And he has zero ebay reviews.

Good luck with that, sport.

Is it just me or are there only TWO pictures? No under-bonnet shot? No photo of the exhaust? I don't even see anything in the interior that would suggest adequate monitoring of what's going on under the bonnet.

"....offers many added features such as a 315 HP engine."

Yeah...315 hp engine once you buy it and tune it as such! But you do get an MP3 player mount and those "AK27" door sills! Surely, that's worth $55k

Hi, here is a list of the upgrades that were made on the car. All the work was done by a F1 mechanic.
1) 315 HP Engine
2) Door inserts
3) GPS
4) Radar
5) Radar jammer

He has no feedback score therefore he is an unknown at this point with no credibility at all, no list of upgrades, just 315 HP engine! There are to many red flags with this guy! Let's see a dyno result from someone reputable.
