GT Forry is not a good base for a performance vehicle
Its heavy, you can get rid of as much of the weight you want but its still going to be heavier than a GC8 undergoing the same weight loss program
Its good for stealth though

Yeah but lets look at it like this

95% of the cars on here are mild tune street cars

3% are harder tuned

2% are out and out race cars - and 15k doesnt get you one of those unless drug debts must the cleared in hours.

A forri in the scheme of things isnt that heavy.

You should have thought about this earlier and bought my car before it was sold to someone else

You could get an MY99/00 with all the normal bolts on (VF, ECU, FMIC) for 15k. Anyone who spends more than that on ANY GC8 has rocks in their head.

RS Liberty's are far too old and agricultural to spend $15k on one, especially when I sold mine for barely more than that about 7 years ago. Plus you can get a Gen 4 GT for sub 20k.
