He asked that the numbers be fudged even higher than that, but they wouldn't becasue they new better. Car has horrible belt slip I don't know if they ever fixed.

      Game over man, its game OVER!

      Make An Offer on the Obsidian SG-One Mustang
      (Please read thoroughly BEFORE submitting your offer - SERIOUS INQUIRIES ONLY PLEASE!)

      There is ONLY ONE Obsidian SG-One Mustang and YOU can own it. With well over 15,000 billable hours of the finest coach level craftsmanship PLUS the finest automotive components and materials available, this is the custom Mustang by which all others are measured. To duplicate the Obsidian SG-One would require approximately $1.3 million U.S. dollars and several years to complete (the builder and the owner have signed documentation stating they will not duplicate the vehicle). But you don't have to wait to own the ultimate. We are now accepting reasonable offers starting at $1.3M (U.S.). This is a cash transaction for sale of a vehicle only (not for rent or lease). Financing from seller or broker are not available.

      Terms: $25,000 non-refundable deposit for arranging private viewing of vehicle within a two week period from receipt of deposit. Prior to transfer of the deposit, the buyer will be presented with a bill of sale, copy of the title, copy of the registration, certified copy of dyno tests, and certified copy stating the builder and seller will not duplicate the car. The deposit will take the vehicle off the market for the time period specified which enables the buyer (and agents acting on his behalf) to inspect the aforementioned vehicle. The inspection will require a private viewing which must be coordinated and occur during normal business hours at the seller’s specified location. All agent inspection fees, transportation, food, lodging, etc. are the responsibility of the buyer.

      Should the buyer wish to proceed with the purchase, the deposit will be applied to the purchase price of the vehicle (which is at least $1.3 million U.S.). The buyer will need to arrange for payment to seller via wire transfer (from bank to bank) in U.S. funds. In connection with the described vehicle (seller, builder and broker) expressly disclaims all warranties, either express or implied, including, but not limited to, any implied warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. Vehicle is sold as is with no warranty. All costs including purchase price, delivery to buyer’s door, inspection, tags, insurance, taxes, towing, and parts/installation/maintenance, etc. are the responsibility of the buyer.

      Should the buyer decide to not purchase said vehicle (for any reason), the buyer will forfeit deposit and be deemed earned by the seller for consideration of the seller taking the vehicle off the market for the specified time.

      Seller neither assumes nor authorizes any other person to assume for seller any liability in connection with the sale of the described vehicle.

      Toll Free 1-866-842-1681, Ext .1 (M-F 9AM-6PM CST) or use the form below.

      Frank - you saw my car at PRI - I would spank that car on the track any day.

      I am throwing down the gauntlet.

      lets do a combo run - 20 miles around town drive - come back - sit and idle for 20 minutes - then 3 hots laps in the quarter. then we can go over and do 3 laps on a road course.

      all back to back. only stops for refueling and idling and all on pump gas - 91 or 93 - whatever is available.

      and mine can be had for 229K.

      my car makes 700 rwhp on 93 currently which is great driveability. I have increased the timing and ran race gas and it goes up to 815. I am only running 53K on my F1R at this level - a pulley change an hour of WOT tuning will bump it to 1050 - 1100 rwhp. The engine will handle about 1700 bhp on the internals.

      who built the car? Their website doesn't even tell you who "they" are. Sorry, the hood is horrific and the company is full of themselves at this point. The car has potential to be great but it misses in too many areas

      LOL!!!! Who in the hell do these people think they are??!!!

      For $25K that private viewing better include a weekend get-away with Denise Milani as my escort in the Cayman Islands.

      From the Hot Rod article...

      "We're still skeptical about those air-to-air intercoolers mounted on top of a hot engine.During our day at Willow, the discharge sides were too hot to touch-not a good sign."

      The look of the fab work by the top of the radiator area is very unimpressive IMO.

      its because there is nothing to draw air to them - they would have to put a 2000 cfm fan on top of each one and that would look dumb.

      the car also does not have a rollbar - so what does he need the HP for - he cant use it any where that counts and we all being law abiding citizens means you dont drive that fast on the regular roads.

      he also has the rear so slammed he wont be able to fit any kind of decent sized drag tire in there which means sucky quarter mile times.

      basically it looks cool ( to most peopl) costs a fortune and makes a great conversational piece in some rich dudes garage.

      I'll talk to the owner and see if I can keep it in country long enough after the build for a shootout. I'd like to politely challenge your sig. Would be a good write up, and tons of fun. Those are the terms above...maybe an over all drivability test, ride and idle quality, road noise....you up for it ? pretty sure I can get something set up for it.
