It’s kinda stupid to put it lightly. If they wanted to swap it out with a 5 speed, then do so with the G50/50 which is meant for a turbo. And to put so much value on an engine rebuild receipt that’s a few months shy of being a decade old and at least 4k miles later (if not much more) is just as ridiculous.
This car sold for way more than it’s worth. Like I commented on the auction post sale - Well sold seller!

Ignorant commentary. The ONLY strength difference between a 50/50 and any other G50 is the ring and pinion. Eddie Bello ran NA gearboxes against his 1200hp car for years. Literally hundreds of G50 gearboxes have gone against V8 power in kit cars for decades. You’re way out of your element on this one and talking out your star.
