It's worth as much as someone is willing to pay for it.

On a serious note, I don't think the CSX's are hot commodities. But there will always be someone who wants it. Especially with the spare motor and trans.

My guess is that you might pull $7,000 if it's mint with the extras. Throw it up on E-bay with a reserve to see what you could get for it.

Post on some shelby charger message boards, they should have some idea of it's value.

That's a Shelby CSX.

And to think, i paid $3400 for this:

Porsche 928S...fastest production car in the world. (<--smiley to be interpreted as a shit eating grin)



Mopar put that turbo 4 motor in almost everything at one time or another, i've seen them in Minivans. I had an 85 Daytona Turbo, it was an OK car.

Comparing boosted to N/A cars is not exactly useful as by it's very nature a blower drives volumetric efficiency through the roof. If the 928 was ever made as a turbo, it would be a much more \"apples to apples\" comparison. (there are aftermarket turbo kits for the 928 that make btw 450-650hp at a mere 5-10psi)

My particular 928 is 4.7 liters, 300 rear wheel horsepower, curb wieght is 2900lbs.

My daytona turbo had the 146SAE HP (according to mopar) Turbo I motor. It wasnt in a stock 928s class- nor even remotely close- in any category.

When it was made it was the fastest. All the other cars you listed aren't considered \"production\".

It's a pretty easy claim to back up, the 928S4 held the production top speed world record for a good long while. The later GT model (still a production car) had a top speed of 188mph- but im not sure if they ever took that one to the salt flats or not.

\"On August 7, 1986, the Porsche 928 was graced with the distinction of being the \"World's Fastest Production Car\", earning the land speed record at the Bonneville Salt Flats. After the record setting run, the \"Holbert car\" was given to IMSA for use as a track safety and pace car. It was later donated to a high school in Arizona. After several years of collecting dust in a shop classroom, the car was purchased by driver Mark Kibort who returned the car to racing with minimal work. It regularly competes in SCCA IT-E class races in California.\"

Mark Kibbort is a friend of mine. Nice guy, very good race car driver.

It was a bone stock 928S4 that set the record in 1986 at 172.xxx in Bonneville. Here is the video of the Porsche 928S4 setting the world speed record \"For stock production automobiles\"

The stock corvettes could not touch a 928 in any year when the 928 was made, when comparing like years. Not in top speed, handling, or acceleration- and were nowhere even close in braking. The top production ferarri in 1983 when my 928 was made is the 308, a car which a 928 will dominate on the track. (as it will dominate a 328 or an S4 will dominate a 348).

My 928 is not stock, hence the huge HP figures compared to a stock shark of the same year. My 928 is also 450lbs lighter than stock.

Hehe, it's a rocket. Ask Lunatock, Gifted, or Racegal.

Where else are you going to find a top-end exotic V-8 supercar with german engineering and quality for such prices?

Both the guys on \"Top Gear\" love the 928- they both own one themselves.

In one episode, Clarkson pulls up to a lot of all kinds of top end exotics...guess what he drives away in?

ON CORVETTES: From 1985 through to the early 90s the Corvette wasnt even the fastest GM. That distinction was held by first the Grand National, then the GMC Syclone. The ZR1 was an extremely fast car, but is not considered \"production\". Even still, by the time of it's introduction, the 928GT was already around, and it was even faster yet.

Yeah it is, and i still want another ride Snipe!!!

If I ever get back in that car, we'll need to go somewhere he can really show it off. That little burst you showed me the one time wasn't enough.

BTW, 3400 seems like a good deal. That was a deal from your job, right?

If I ever make it out your way Snipe, I'd like to compare.

SRT-10s are great until you have to turn or stop.

LoL

What are you talking about? You just slam it into 1st or 2nd and dump the clutch to turn! Haven't you seen a drifting competition?

It does stop pretty well. It has some big Brembo's on it.

What are you on?

It might have been on your side of the pond where you have no idea how to build an engine that isn't a V8 and in the early 80's. But in Europe a fairly average hot hatch can produce those sort of figures.

A Renault 5 GT could clock 60 in 7 seconds in the 80's and that's a french PoS

And now a GM Astra VXR will suck your fastest 4cyl front puller in through it's air filter and spit it out. 150mph top whack and 6.2 to 60.



And that's supposed to be impressive? I don't like Honda's either, damn rice mobiles, but they have been getting over 100bhp per litre from normally aspirated engines for years

Come on Snipe, play fair. When exactly did JC make that quote?

A fair while back I recon because I've got the book he says it in

And right now he thinks the GM Monaro VXR is the best performance per $ or £ in the world.

I've loved the 928 since I was a kid so this is said with a fair bit of respect.

It was never a sports car. It was designed to be a GT...

Look everybody loves their own cars that's why they buy them.

All I'm saying is there is nothing about the performance or power figures that makes it special.

And you never said when it was the fastest, just like the stunt Snipe pulled quoting the 928 as the worlds fastest.

Tell us when and then we'll compare like for like.

But when you start saying you can blow away Honda's you're saying your happy to fight in their division. So all of a sudden your bhp per litre don't look so good.

Don't quote the facts out of context and no smart ass punk Europeans will have a pop

Still I will give you that 210 ft lbs is decent so I bet it torque steers like a bastard...

And for the record I still hate Hondas...
