eBay Find: What is it?

Lambo? Enzo? Fiero?

Hahaha, I honestly couldn’t stop laughing at this. Apparently it’s a high-quality Lamborghini replica. Of what, I’m not sure. Kinda looks like they were torn between a Ferrari Enzo and a Lamborghini Countach, but they didn’t get either one right.

Wow.

the chance of a lifetime to own what looks like a REAL Lamborgini (sic) for a fraction of the price.

I’m going to go ahead and disagree with that one. The auction is filled with obvious typos and claims that this car looks truly authentic. You must go look at the auction itself as there are many more pictures for you to stare at in amazement, trying to figure out who would fall for this.

eBay Find: Stillen 300ZX SMZ

I wish I would have caught this a little bit earlier in the auction, but I found a 96 Stillen 300ZX SMZ on eBay. The SMZ is a specially made car by Stillen from the Nissan 300ZX Twin-Turbo. It was made in a very limited edition and originally asked a whopping $57,000 new, around $14,000 more than the stock TT. The eBay auction is asking $30,000 Buy It Now price, but I doubt it will bring that much. The stock 300ZX TT brings 300hp, and this Stillen modified car ups it to 365, a more than modest improvement.

300ZX SMZ

For the most important aspect of the car, Stillen has increased the boost of the stock car by 2 psi, added a new intake manifold, a new and improved air filter, and added a free-flow exhaust system giving the car an extra 65 horsepower over stock. On top of the power gains, the SMZ offers carbon fiber accents in the interior, a special numbered interior plaque, and alloy pedals. The upgraded suspension includes stiffer anti-roll cars, higher-rate springs and larger tires. The exterior modifications are subtle but obvious. The Yokohama wheels, the louvered nose-panel, the more aggressive front spoiler, rocker-panel and rear valance, and huge rear wing. Oh yes, and we can’t forget about the SMZ and Stillen decals tastefully placed on the car.
