I found it pretty interesting how John would use the doctored dyno runs to enter competitions and get sponsorships.

I am siding with jburke26 on this one. IMO, a heavily modded used car would not be a consumer-savvy option. Not even for show. Save the $42.9K, head to the dealership and talk them down from a brand new NISMO with a sport package. Use the extra cash for new forced induction and maintenance.
