That is a 2.2L motor. It looks like a nice clean car. It bet the reserve is mid to high 20s.

hoping this one makes it out east!!!!!

Looks nice, that bar is unusual, going between the seats from dash to rear bulkhead. Wish I chose a carbon dash over my machined metal (the glare is blinding).

[rikker]

Do you think the horizontal bar would catch on arms/shoulders?

[WestTexasS2K]

I hadn't seen a bar like that one. I would think the passenger side would be more cramped.

Hard to tell from pix alone, but looks like that bar might be a knuckle basher when shifting, especially when the driver is distracted with other functions, like changing a lane, executing a pass and so on. Perhaps the idea was to impede a cockpit collapse in event of a longitudinal collision. Anyway, the car is well detailed and very clean, and has a torquier 2.2 motor (per Lorren).

You're right - a steal in respect to fair value for ultimate sportscar performance. But most folks nowadays are reduced to minimum everything, and that includes transportation. Most can't afford a car that seats only two, can barely hold a gallon of milk, let alone bags of groceries, can't be driven in snow and barely in rain, destroys the most expensive female coifs in 3 seconds flat, and so on. In the obamconomy, the potential purchaser group for sevens is small, and getting smaller. Sevens are the ultimate middle-class sporter, providing supercar performance at Joe Sixpack prices. Unfortunately, these days, Joe Sixpack is reduced to buying sports cars that look suspiciously like Corollas with quart-sized tailpipes.

Not a steal, but a fairly good price in today's market. The prices of new autos are grossly overinflated and partly to blame is the auto bail out. I bought 2 years ago at a bargain price fully understanding that the market was going south, but at my age my life is going south at a faster rate and the car represented a windfall from stock trading. I am willing to bet that "name brand" sevens will see the low teens before we are done, tight market and some new players being offered. Take a ride in a well sorted LS swapped Miata or RX-7 FD to start the list. The days of buying and loosing half your 'investment' are here again.

Very well stated Bruce K!
