It looks good and well cared for. Has the desirable 20" Walkinshaw alloys (which for around £300 could be turned back to Silver) and the rare-as-hens-teeth foglight protectors.
It may be worth speaking to WP and MF (after seeking the owners permission) to verify any enhancements that have been made - although the owner sounds like he's more than willing to share the history.

Not anywhere near Kettering so can't help with a visit I'm afraid

Looks nice and tidy woth a closer look. 450bhp is optimistic though!

That looks great, definitely worth a look

Looks like a nice one and very shiney although full service history is not an indication
Of a perfect car as an mot is not an indication of a road worthy car so all the usual
Checks are required IE clunks and rattles check disc wear

looks nice.

a bit pricy though, I paid 16.8k for a 2007 (auto) with 1 owner with 4.5k on the clock 4 years ago.

450 bhp sounds about right there 420 as standard the exhaust should give you an extra 20, remap on top.


Might be a bit tame after a Viper?

I was told by MF mine would be about 450bhp and that's with LT headers and OTRCAI. Standard Bhp for 6.0 is slightly lower than 420 I think.

i sure my manual said 420 , but can't check, on the net it ranges from 411 to 417 for the 6.0 the 6.2 424bhp

[SturdyHSV]

Its because of all the geriatric owners of the previous generation models keeping the accident stats low. Only £100 more than my BMW 320 cd!

[Dr-Bob]

£50 less than my Viper declaring all mods

Looks alright, Baz, if a bit strong on price for a private sale. Been to all the right garages, lately. You'll need to supercharge it, I reckon.

NO2?


Did you sell your kit?

You will be surprised how easy it is to add BHP to these engines. Especially compared to the viper engines which for their size dont push out much power. Heads are the difference for the most part and perhaps intake options.
