vettes062002, i have seen you around Downingtown a few times, mostly parked. I remember seeing you parked next to a silver miata and was astonished how tiny the T-rex is.

my 06 I paid $40,000 for. it was mint, 1000 miles. that was about 3 years ago


year depending they run 30-50K

after my first one was stolen and crashed, I waited and waited.. it took a year to find this one I have have now. I got mine cheap with a blown trans with a lot of mods already done. the guy just didnt have anymoer money and I got super lucky on the whole deal. I actaully found the deal on svtperformance.

they are not that bad to work on if you know bike basics.

with the weather being so nice lately. im going to get the trex out of my trailer and back in the shop and get it back on the road hopefully this weekend. n/a though. the chain broke right before it got cold and I just didnt care to fix it then.

after I move and get that whole deal done in 20 days, I am def going to turbo the trex again but on much lower boost. it was just way to much. 300whp plus.. it was scary fast.

dunno y it wont let me inbed but heres a vid of it first running last year.
