    Wow, thats amazing. Providing theres nothing seriously wrong with it, im also considering buying it, putting the turbos on mine and selling it stock. You could probably resell it for $15k no worries... so you end up with a nice twin turbo setup for $5k :O

    I think the guy has had some issues selling it for some reason, I am positive I have seen the same car on eBay a few times and it never sold. Price has dropped significatly too, from what I can recall it was originally listed at 25k.

    If I had the cash, I'd happilly snap it up; unfortuatnly with a baby on the way the missus might not think a twin turbo LSx is all that practical (although she is a bit of a hoon at times).

    Still, a twin turbo Manual LS1 HSV....

    I do agree that clubsports have dropped a lot in recent times, but thats a lot of power for the price (providing its not stuffed)

    Like i said, its nothing special, i can count on one hand, the number of late model (non rare) HSVs with mods, i see daily.

    The pictures of a twin turbo setup in the engine bay give it away.

    Personally i would have got my moneys worth and mentioned it in the title tho....
