I don't know, but I would never buy that thing without some kind of warranty to back it up. Unless you have the money to just buy it as a track toy.

If Budd's wants to get rid of it, I would push them to CPO it. They have their "Performance center" where you can Dinan the twin turbo 3 litre which, since they're being done at the dealer, should not void the warranty. So I don't see why chipping a car is ok but supercharging it isn't.

I would be very weary of owning a car that has been modded like that and has worn out to sh*t tires 'cause it's obvious the previous owner really pushed the car. So I think long-term reliability will be an issue, and I think resale will be an issue.

Sorry to be such a pooper, but I thought I'd give you a different perspective so you can make a well thought out decision.
