real question is, do I have to upgrade to a Turbo master to use those calipers?

What do you bet the insurance company wrote the car off? Better yet, what would it cost to buy it "as is?"

Rich, it probably was that. Lots of people were "power-shifting" S2000s back when they came out, and the overwhelming torque of the S2000 flipped them straight off the road.

I think the disc are fine yes.. they are broken but many composite materials are designed to take one TYPE of load/stress and nothing else.. I do not thin the rotors we meant to take a side impact..

The other three sides look fine. Just have to drive it with the 'bad' side away from public view

it's not totalled...not hardly.

it's designed and built like a race car...just back 1/2 it and forget about it. discard all the broken crap, as long as the tub isn't compromised, it's fine. I bet it runs.

what's funny is the black 911 in the background of the first pic looks like it wet itself upon seeing the damage. (see the big puddle?)

ITs on Ebay with the following..

The seller on Ebay lists this caption:

Salvage Title... theft recovery, only minor damage. This is an easy fix for any who wants a CGT way below market price…. The insurance company just decided to total it even though the damage is really minor. I’ve had several estimates from reputable shops and this should cost no more then 8 to 10 thousand dollars to fix.

Now the good part…. You’re bidding on a very rare Carrera GT. This car runs and drives fantastic. It’s always been garaged and the oils been changed every 3000 miles, and ALWAYS garage kept. Other than some small blood stains the interior is perfect. All parties walked away safe from this small fender bender. All gauges and accessories work perfectly. The ac system could use a charge, that’s common with Carrera’s of this vintage. It also has a 10,000 watt sound system and an additional set of chromed out rims which are also for auction. If you use the “buy is now” feature I’ll throw in the chrome rims.

Dang those things don't bend they just shatter! Shattered wheel, brakes, body...

I wonder what you could get parting that out?
