It may seem overpriced but look at the spec of it, there's easily 30k there, the gearbox alone was probably about 5k.

No offence to Nic, but Nics isnt a track car. It's set up for a straight line. This Nova is set up to hoon round a track as fast as possible, if you had seen it in action you would understand. It's a beast.

I fully understand it's a beast and a track car. But there is no need for flush indicators. Stock items are probably lighter that the fibreglass/filler. Can still be an immense track car and look stunning too

I think your missing the point.... It hasn't been built to "look" good... Its been built to go as quick as poss around a track, which is does... Rather well by the look of it.

The wide arch kit comes with the "flush" indicators I believe, it certainly isn't a styling thing. lol

Personally I think it is worth the money. Even if you broke it you'd make most of that back, but at the end of the day it depends what your after... 10k would buy a lot of track machines. Not many would spend that much on a Nova anymore but I dare say someone will buy it.

imo the white one is overpriced compared to the red one, yes it has an engine in the boot, but it hasn’t got that much money in it to get it where it is, time yes, but the spec isn’t that mega, in parts alone the red one is a bargain, although 199 lb/ft is optimistic out of a 2.05 ltr n/a!!

That nova is deffo worth £10k its not really a nova anymore, a shell to hold expensive stuff too.
57 seconds is fucking fast round knockhill, especially as an 800bhp time attack evo did it in 52 seconds on a youtube vid I just watched.

It's just a track car now, the lad ferries it round on a pick up to track days, it's set up to for track days. It's a weapon.

A good mate of mine has spent around 10-12k on his Nova and has more power than that and it weighs less, although he aint got a dog box.

Also, you mother fuckers are a bit slow on the white Nova PH link http://corsasport.co.uk/board/viewthread.php?tid=565032

Now that one is well and truely over priced by at least 7k.

Because it has no roll cage for a start and its not wide arch.
