Should I buy this Carrera GT?
26 mpg on a V6 chevy and 7 grands. Yeah, it is not the real deal, but I`d rather drive

Except for the fact that it doesn't look much like a real CGT.

THere is more than 7k in that car so there is something drastically wrong.
Go take a look. For 7k could make a fun beater.

Why not, if you like it. You live in Boston right? Lots of salt on the roads for $6 or $7K if you can afford it who cares.

I wonder if you could fit a SBC in there?
$2K buys you 300+ HP, then it would be fun. It's hard to tell what the car looks like, because he's obviously avoided all the angles that make it look bad. Like dead on from the side. |

A real car is better than a fake car, even if the real one is a 914.
Could you really be comfortable driving a pretend, poser, wanna be car? I'd have trouble with that. |
