Wow, just wow. Obviously that's just one side of the story, but it sounds pretty bad.

Serious question, need for speed why spending 150K+ for 900HP?

The first 40k got him to 900. The next 110 got him to 1200 and a new billet diff, and billet tranny, and "special" cracked block.

Couldn't you buy a C5 and put 1200 down for less than the car itself!

The first seat is complete. For my first time recovering car seats I think this one turned out as well as anyone could expect. Prior to installing the new skin I steamed all of the foam to rejuvenate it and give it back its support.

Because a C5 isn't a Gallardo same reasoning you don't buy a Fox body and build it to 1200hp vs doing in a vette

And still have a c5 and not the Lambo you wanted. And for the owner of the lambo he can apparently throw away $30k+++ with the same amount of thought most people put into spending $100. So I doubt a 1200hp c5 or a 600000hp pinto would have satisfied him.
