i will thoroughly miss this car. I'm anticipating the wrap up as you guys seem to have decided to return it to stock instead of dealing with that transfer case or whatever it was. GT-R be damned....haha

Yes I want to know just how high I must aim to ever get a modded car like this.

I'd say that with everything we see there, they spent upwards of 10k.

Also, they had someone else look at the problem other than the dealership... would like to know what their conclusion was.
