As much as i'd like to have one; this one was a bit radical for me.

Here's one with only 600 R wheel HP that you can have for the same price

Looks like it sold yesterday. 
Might make for a fun car today, but all that aftermarket stuff has to be serviced/fixed one day which might be fine for the previous owner --- he did the work or someone, somewhere did it for him.  Take the car somewhere else in another part of the country to be worked on and a lot of head scratching and "I dunno what to do with a modified engine/car like that" may well ensue.

And parts?  How long will the people that made that stuff be in business, how long will they be willing to support their product?  10 years from now they could well say, "that's an old car, man, we don't do any of that stuff for that old thing anymore."
Surely there is a very limited market for the pieces that go on that car, unless the future models don't change the people that made that stuff are going to move on.
On the other hand, a car like that may get used pretty hard and won't last long anyway.   
Just my opinion.

I agree with Glenn -- not my cup of tea either.
Too radical.
